Ep. 2 - Changing Your Life Is as Simple as Shutting Up and Sitting with Clariece Austine Flynn

In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes her mother to shut up and sit down with her to explore her personal growth and healing journey, which has allowed their entire family to break free of addiction, abuse, and unhealthy patterns and habits. 

Mom shares her experience with getting pregnant with Yedda as a teenager, living in extreme poverty, and working to create a better life for themselves. They discuss topics like intergenerational trauma, breaking free of the victim mentality, and struggling with alcoholism, depression, and anxiety as a mother of four. Mom speaks on the monumental turning point, induced by silence, that led to her a higher knowingness and recovery from alcoholism.

“In that silence, the greatest peace just came upon me that I had ever experienced in my life. I had never experienced anything like it and I knew for the first time in my life that if God could take my life and He didn’t, I was supposed to be here and there was a purpose and a plan for my life and I didn’t have to know what it was, I just had to show up and surrender.” - Mom

It’s never too late to go within and do the work because it creates a ripple effect for future generations. There’s so much beauty in that and Yedda’s mother is one example of that beauty. Listen in to hear her incredible story of learning and healing that has inspired the Shut Up and Sit movement, as well as how she and her partner are incorporating silence and stillness in their daily lives. Plus, Mom gives powerful advice for people feeling worthless and stuck in life.

“The pain is going to happen in life, but suffering is optional.” - Yedda Stancil
