I share what it has looked like to return to family life, sirens, uncertainty, and emotional overload, while practicing a slower, calmer internal pace. This is a conversation about nervous system support, self-compassion, and finding steadiness in the middle of hard times. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/thriving-on-purpose-6491127/episodes/episode-118-slowing-down-from-the-inside-out/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/thriving-on-purpose-6491127/episode-118-slowing-down-from-the-inside-out.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
