Listen "quiet strides - november 2025 - ep. eight"
Episode Synopsis
November was a month of quiet strides and soft awakenings. I found myself measuring my progress in new ways—not by speed or achievement, but by presence, intention, and the quiet mile markers only I could feel. This month taught me the value of setting small benchmarks, noticing the subtle shifts, and trusting that real growth doesn’t always look like effort… sometimes it looks like rest, laughter, solo time, or simply letting yourself breathe.
In this entry, I reflect on expansion—how you can’t step into something bigger while holding onto old, contracted energy. I talk about loosening my grip, choosing faith over fear, and letting optimism lead even when the “how” isn’t clear yet. November was a reminder that rebirth often happens in hibernation, in the quieter corners of our lives where intuition finally gets loud enough to hear.
I realized that life moves in subtle rhythms. We just have to listen. This month reminded me not to grow old too soon, or wise too late… to stay young, stay curious, and trust the timing of things unfolding in their perfect way.
Through music, reflection, and the voices of wisdom woven throughout, I share the lessons November left me with: patience, faith, presence, and the courage to grow slowly. If something here resonates—carry it with you. Soundbytes is about reflection, connection, and becoming ourselves one season, one shift, one stride at a time.
🎶 Featuring music by Sol Chyld, Mick Jenkins, E. Jones, Malaya, Cyrus Chestnut, and Zeek.
