In this episode, sisters Hannah and Sarah explore why so many of us are feeling deeply burnt out, especially in winter, and why silence might be the most accessible, powerful (and completely free) tool we’re overlooking.

Fresh back from co-hosting a beginner-friendly silent retreat in Kent, the sisters share what really happens when you slow down, put your phone away, and allow yourself to rest deeply. From mindful eating and nervous system regulation, to shared rooms, sound baths, fire rituals, and the unexpected ease of silence, this episode is a gentle invitation to reimagine how you care for yourself.

They also open up about the beauty of the retreat venue, the role of nature and birdsong, the power of presence, and why less really can be more when it comes to healing and transformation.

Whether silence feels intriguing or intimidating, this episode will help you understand why it’s so needed and how you can bring small moments of silence into everyday life.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why winter exhaustion is real (and not a personal failure)
• Silence as a free, life-changing tool for mental and physical health
• What a beginner-friendly silent retreat actually looks like
• Mindful eating and how how you eat matters as much as what you eat
• Shared rooms, co-regulation, and bonding without words
• Nervous system safety, birdsong, fire, and rest
• Yoga nidra, sound baths, and deep, restorative sleep
• Why integration after retreat is essential for lasting change
• Simple ways to introduce silence into everyday life
• Details of the next Silent Retreat in Kent (May 1–3)
