Before the big dramatic moment, before the crisis, before the leap—there’s always a whisper. That quiet inner knowing that something isn’t quite right anymore. The subtle nudge that says, “This isn’t it.”
In this episode, we explore how to recognize and honour those early signals before they become overwhelming. You’ll discover what the whisper actually sounds like, why we resist listening to it, and how to tell the difference between a passing frustration and a true call for change.
If you’re feeling that quiet stirring, that sense of “something more,” this episode will help you trust what you’re sensing and take the first courageous step: simply listening.
Ready to stop ignoring your inner wisdom? Tune in and discover the power of the whisper.

Something I Love
Inner Balance Device by HeartMath
You know that feeling when your heart is racing, your mind is scattered, and your body just won’t settle—no matter how many deep breaths you take? That’s where the Inner Balance Device comes in. I started using it as a gentle experiment in tuning in, not just to how I felt, but how I was actually functioning. It helps measure and guide your heart coherence (a state where your heart, mind, and body are aligned), which is the foundation of calm, creativity, and clarity. It’s become a powerful tool in my own practice of shifting out of reaction and into presence—especially in those little micro-moments when I’d normally lose my centre.
What I love most is that it doesn’t ask anything of me other than to be—to breathe, to connect, and to allow my nervous system to recalibrate with intention. Whether you’re navigating a full plate or just want to deepen your connection with yourself, this tool offers a practical, heart-centred way to bring coherence into the everyday. It’s not about perfection—it’s about having a consistent reminder that your inner state matters and that with just a few minutes of awareness, you can shift your entire day.
