Paige's Perspective: The Discomfort of Silence

If silence makes you restless, anxious, or uneasy, you’re not alone. For many, silence isn’t peaceful. The second things get quiet, all the thoughts, emotions, and fears we’ve been avoiding start creeping in. And if you’ve been living in survival mode, silence doesn’t feel safe, it feels like the calm before the next storm.

But what if silence isn’t something to fear? What if sitting in it is actually an important part of healing?

In this episode, I break down why silence feels so hard, especially for those who’ve experienced betrayal, trauma, or chronic stress. I’ll share how I struggled with it, why your nervous system might resist stillness, and the small but powerful steps you can take to make silence a safe place again.
