<p>In this episode, Janice Lundy discusses finding your true self in a distracted world, which is that part of you that isn’t weighed down by fear, busyness, or the endless demands of modern life. She calls this place <em>“my deepest me”</em> – the inner space that already knows we’re whole, even when everything around us insists otherwise. Jan explores what it means to return to that wiser, truer self, how to trust the quiet voice within, and why stillness, gentleness, and presence are the real pathways to peace.</p><p><strong>Feeling overwhelmed, even by the good things in your life? </strong><em>Check out </em><a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/overwhelm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Overwhelm is Optional </em></a><em>— a 4-week email course that helps you feel calmer and more grounded without needing to do less.
