"Quiet is a Place I Return To" | Sarah Clarkson (EP02)
Wednesday, February 12, 2025 • Duration 31:33
In a distracted world driven by many screens and ceaseless activity, many struggle with a restless, disquiet mind. We yearn deeply for inward rootedness and calm, yet the cultivation of quiet often feels abstract and out-of-reach. Yet quiet is, and always has been, essential to life.

As we approach the new year, I wanted to replay one of my favorite episodes from 2019. A lot of my current listeners may have missed this one (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to over the next couple of weeks as we begin setting intentions for the new year). This episode is full of reminders for how we can implement new, simple rhythms to combat stress/anxiety or to simply start better habits.

This week, I speak with author and national speaker, Rebekah Lyons. An old soul with a contemporary, honest voice, Rebekah reveals her own battles to overcome anxiety and depression—and invites others to discover and boldly pursue their purpose. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, Huffington Post, Publisher’s Weekly, and more. Today, she is here to speak about her most recent book, Rhythms of Renewal. We discuss the importance of rest, stepping away from technology, and creating rhythms in our day-to-day which ultimately help to renew our body and soul.
