As we slowly settle into October, this episode invites you to take a breath and notice the quiet, comforting things in your life—the ones that don’t go viral, cost money, or demand your productivity.

In a world that tells us to go bigger, do more, and stay busy, what if true comfort is found in the small, sacred moments? A favorite robe. Candlelight at dinner. The smell of something baking. These aren’t luxuries—they’re human needs.

In this gentle conversation, we explore:

• Why small comforts matter more than we give them credit for
• Simple ways to find ease in everyday life
• How cozy moments can be a radical form of self-care
• Ways to invite more comfort without buying a thing
• Ideas for sharing comfort with others in small, meaningful ways

Whether you’re folding laundry, driving home, or curled up with a cup of tea, may this episode remind you that you don’t have to earn rest or comfort—you deserve it because you’re human.

In this episode of The Quiet Rebellion, I’m joined by Catie Pardalote Payne of the Reskillience podcast for a deep and honest conversation about what it means to live fully awake in a world that constantly numbs us.

We explore:

• How digital overwhelm leads to “zombification”
• Why a little discomfort can be a good thing
• The beauty of purposeful weariness
• Finding meaning through simple, physical work
• Small ways to reconnect with the natural world
• How community helps us stretch and grow

We also talk about the value of showing up—grumpy, begrudgingly, and all—because the reward is often waiting on the other side of discomfort.

This is a conversation about small rebellions, living with contrast, and remembering what it feels like to be fully human again.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to live in rhythm with the earth—even when the modern world keeps pushing for more, faster, now. Seasonal living isn’t about perfection or opting out of daily life; it’s about tuning in to nature’s cues, honoring your own cycles, and letting go of the pressure to bloom year-round.

I’m sharing simple, doable ways to begin: from noticing what’s outside your window to creating small seasonal rituals that bring comfort and connection. Let this be your gentle reminder that you don’t have to live at full speed to live a full life.
