Less Input, More Peace: Why You’re Overwhelmed (and How to Find Clarity Again)

Ever feel mentally overloaded — like there’s too much noise and not enough peace?

Between social media, constant news, endless content, and even the pressure to “always be learning,” our minds and bodies are drowning in input.

In this episode, I share a personal reflection on the power of less input — and how creating space can bring your mind, body, and spirit back into balance.

From fasting and digital detoxing to setting healthy boundaries with social media and relationships, this is a practical and soulful reminder that peace comes through simplicity.

We talk about:

🧠 The hidden toll of constant consumption (and why rest isn’t laziness)

📱 How social media overload fuels anxiety, distraction, and comparison

🥦 The power of fasting — not just from food, but from noise

🙏 Why less input = more clarity, peace, and spiritual alignment

💡 How to identify what’s really “inflammatory” in your life — mentally, physically, and relationally

If you’ve been feeling foggy, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself — this one’s for you.
