In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve become so consumed with chasing productivity that we’ve forgotten what it feels like to truly feel good. Exhaustion, stress, and burnout have quietly become the norm, leaving many of us disconnected from our own wellbeing. But what if the answer isn’t pushing harder—or adding another task to your to-do list—but actually doing nothing at all ? This May, with Mental Health Awareness Month in full swing, it’s the perfect time to explore new ways to prioritize rest and healing. In this conversation with sound facilitator and meditation teacher Sarah Gardner, we explore the incredible potential of immersive sound healing to help us reset, reduce stress, and reconnect. After experiencing the benefits firsthand (including turning my own birthday party into a sound bath!), I’m excited for you to learn how sound healing works, why it’s so powerful for calming the nervous system, and how it can help you reconnect with yourself in today’s high-stress world.
