Sorting Through the Competing Voices in Your Mind with Gem Fadling
"You're not good enough.” "You need to try harder." "You’ll never keep up.” “There isn’t enough time.”
These are the sorts of voices that can hum just beneath the surface of our minds, pushing us to act in unsustainable and frantic ways. So many of us long for the peace that comes with a life marked my internal calm and groundedness, but we feel gripped by anxiety. We don’t know what to do with these unhelpful thoughts circling within. How do we make sense of this inner chatter? And how do we settle enough to hear God’s voice?
An important part of growing in self-awareness is learning how to make sense of these competing voices. That’s what author and spiritual director Gem Fadling and I talk about today. Gem brings decades of wisdom and personal experience to this conversation as she teaches us how to identify these voices, slow our internal pace, and move towards greater wholeness.
