Sponsored product of the week
Noise cancellation earbuds for a silent retreat
Slip into a mini-noise retreat with these noise cancellation earbuds by Amazon.
Sometimes we just want to take a moment away from all the chaos of parenting adult children and beyond. Dive into your own peace by playing music or a podcast with incredible audio and noise cancellation. I use these on trips and it drowns out the plane noise (and neighbors in seats around me).
I have used podcasts as a way to escape my daily struggles for at least a little bit at a time. Listening to other people's stories has taken me out of my own head, something I value greatly as a way to decompress.
