In the latest episode of The Star Monroe Show, listeners are invited to delve into the concept of slowing down and why it feels uncomfortable. Star Monroe challenges the notion that a fast-paced life is the norm, urging a shift towards a more introspective and self-aware existence. She highlights that the discomfort associated with slowing down is not merely a scheduling issue but a deeper recalibration of the nervous system.
Through her experiences with clients and personal insights, Monroe emphasizes that deep intimacy and connection begin with oneself. The episode discusses how societal pressures and generational beliefs have linked slowing down with negative connotations such as shame and punishment. Monroe encourages listeners to observe themselves without judgment and to embrace neutrality as a pathway to change.
She shares her personal journey of moving her adult son to Turkey, reflecting on how this lifestyle shift prompted her to reassess her habits and rituals. Listeners are encouraged to ask themselves deeper questions about their pace in life and make aligned choices that may initially feel uncomfortable. Monroe stresses that change is not linear but a zigzag journey requiring patience and self-compassion.
By focusing on the reclamation of one's rhythm and wisdom, individuals can unhook themselves from false urgency and live a more embodied, sensual life. Monroe invites listeners to join her upcoming School of Devotional Living, a three-month immersion starting in September, designed to help recalibrate the nervous system and enhance devotional living practices. Additionally, she announces a free online event, "The Unhurried Woman," where participants can explore live practices to shift their relationship with time and create meaningful rituals.
In devotion, Monroe continues her mission to guide listeners toward a more connected and mindful way of living.
