In this episode of Her Mood, Stacy Fore explores the concept of peace amidst the chaos of emotions. She discusses the emotional pendulum that swings between various moods and emphasizes that true peace is not about stillness or avoiding feelings, but rather about being anchored in oneself despite the fluctuations. Stacy shares her personal journey with peacekeeping, particularly as a woman managing the emotions and needs of others, and how this often leads to anxiety and a false sense of control. She encourages listeners to redefine peace as a state of being that exists independently of external circumstances and to practice self-awareness in their emotional responses.
