Stillness | Why Chaos Is Your Greatest Teacher

Stillness isn't the absence of chaos. It's what remains when chaos no longer chooses for us. In this conversation, I reflect on what a day with my infant daughter taught me about regulation, presence, and discovering a center that isn't dependent on circumstances. Sometimes our greatest teachers aren't trying to teach us at all. Sometimes they're simply asking us to stay. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Chapters 0:00 — What a Screaming Baby Reveals 2:48 — Infants Live in Truth 5:26 — Stillness in Chaos 7:52 — My Daughter Is the Teacher 10:03 — Finding Your Center Anywhere 13:29 — Every Test Is a Teacher ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Thank you for taking this time and space with me.
