About this listen

Ever feel like life is full, yet something inside you feels thin or unsettled?
In this episode of Be Still & Live, we sit with licensed counselor and author Frank Healy for a grounded conversation about memory, meaning, and the quiet power of intentional stillness.

Frank lives with hyperthymesia—an unusually vivid autobiographical memory—giving him a unique window into how past experiences can linger in the body and shape the present moment. Rather than trying to erase pain or rush toward positivity, he invites a gentler path: learning how to relate to our memories with awareness, compassion, and choice.

Together, we explore simple ways to soften the grip of difficult moments—through reframing, visualization, and breath-centered practices that help the nervous system settle. We talk about stillness not as escape or mysticism, but as a practical skill: pausing to breathe, grounding in the present, and creating intentional space for rest so calm becomes a rhythm, not an accident.

The conversation widens into acceptance without resignation, releasing comparison, and honoring what is—and is not—within our control. Frank reminds us that meaning doesn’t come from striving or achievement, but from living in alignment with who we are and how we’ve been uniquely formed.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally crowded, or quietly anxious, this episode offers a gentle return. One breath. One pause. One small shift toward clarity, calm, and a more rooted way of living.

If this resonates, consider subscribing, sharing with someone who could use a moment of stillness, or leaving a review to help others find their way here.

Until then—be still, and live.
