Ep 26. Why It’s So Hard to Hear Yourself and How to Start Listening Again

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I don’t even know what I want anymore”?
If so, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we explore the hidden struggle many women carry: the disconnection from our own inner voice. It is not that you are broken or unclear, it is that the world has been too loud for too long. Together, we will soften the noise, peel back the conditioning, and help you reconnect with the wisdom that has been inside you all along.

What You Will Hear in This Episode:

• The gradual disconnection: how micro self-abandonments and childhood conditioning lead us to silence our truth

• Cultural programming: why women are taught to please, perform, and perfect instead of listening to themselves

• Survival mode vs intuition: why stress, busyness, and burnout block us from hearing our inner knowing

• My personal story: from burnout, covid, and living in a campervan to rediscovering my inner voice

• Practical steps to reconnect: five gentle practices to help you hear yourself again, including micro silence, listening to the body, and resting before burnout

• A gentle reframe: your voice is not lost, just layered beneath noise, duty, and conditioning

This is not about fixing yourself. It is about remembering yourself. Your voice is still there, waiting to be heard.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Women feeling lost, burnt out, or disconnected from what they truly want

• Those who always put others first and struggle to prioritise themselves

• Anyone seeking practical, soulful tools to reconnect with intuition, inner wisdom, and authentic self-expression

Key Takeaways:

• Your inner voice does not vanish, it gets buried beneath conditioning, expectations, and noise

• Stillness, rest, and micro-moments of silence are powerful entry points to reconnect

• Listening to your body is as important as listening to your mind

• Reconnection is not about radical overhaul, it starts with small, brave choices in everyday life

Quotes to Remember:

• “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.” — Brené Brown

• “You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.” — Oprah

• “The braver I am, the luckier I get.” — Glennon Doyle
