This topic might feel weird at first, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about (and resisting) for a long time: the power of boredom. If you’re anything like me—a high-achieving, podcast-loving, always-learning, always-doing kind of woman—then boredom probably feels uncomfortable, maybe even unsafe. I used to fill every pocket of silence with a podcast, a book, a to-do list, or something to keep my brain busy. But recently, my leadership coach challenged me to sit with the stillness—and let me tell you, it’s been awkward… but also surprisingly freeing. In this episode, I open up about: Why boredom feels threatening for ambitious women (and why that’s a nervous system thing) How constantly consuming input can drown out your own thoughts and creativity The mindset shift I’ve made that’s helping me actually enjoy silence A few super simple ways you can start practicing boredom in your day—without overhauling your schedule Whether you’re a mom, a business owner, or someone who never sits still, I hope this episode gives you permission to pause. There’s something magical that happens when we stop trying to fill every moment. And yes, you might feel a little uncomfortable at first… but that discomfort? It could be the doorway to your next big idea. — Check out more of what I’m up to—including my guided hypno meditations and brain balancing sessions—at www.mercedescollins.com Let’s hang out on Instagram: @mercedes.a.collins
