What if the peace you're searching for begins in the moments you usually avoid?
In this thoughtful episode of OVERFLOW with Kimberly Snider, Kimberly welcomes Irene Rose for a meaningful conversation about stillness, why it can feel so uncomfortable, and how cultivating a relationship with silence can transform the way we live, lead, and care for ourselves.
For many of us, slowing down can trigger feelings of discomfort, restlessness, or even anxiety. Kimberly and Irene explore the science behind our nervous system's response to stillness, the cultural pressure to always stay productive, and how small, intentional moments of quiet can help us reconnect with our inner wisdom.
Together, they share practical strategies for embracing stillness with curiosity instead of fear, creating sustainable habits that support greater resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

Practical ways to build a healthy relationship with stillness through small, intentional daily practices
How releasing the pressure to always be productive creates space for greater clarity, creativity, and inner wisdom
