Episode 6: Why You Can’t Relax – The Invisible Beliefs That Sabotage Peace

Part 2 of The Core Beliefs Series: The Beliefs That Shape Our Peace

We’re unpacking why peace can feel so out of reach, even when life seems calm. Spoiler: it’s not you, it’s your beliefs. The invisible ones that keep your nervous system on high alert, telling you that rest isn’t safe or allowed.

We explore:

• How subconscious beliefs trigger anxiety and unrest.
• Why your mind won’t let you relax (even with the candles lit and to-do list done).
• The dangerous myth that your worth is tied to constant doing.
• The real meaning of true relaxation—and how to actually experience it.
• How to start reclaiming your peace through small, intentional choices.

Plus, I’m sharing some personal reflections, including a real moment from my day where I chose peace over pressure—and how you can start doing the same.

Let’s Get Real:

Stillness is where you meet your true self. Not the anxious, over-functioning version of you—but the one who knows peace is possible.
