Finding Your Song in a Noisy World

Woman sitting quietly, looking out a window, reflecting in soft light.

There’s a mockingbird outside my bedroom window.

He starts singing at midnight and goes on for hours, playing a set list of greatest hits he’s borrowed from other birds. A mockingbird is unique in the bird world that way. He doesn’t have a song of his own. His gift is in arrangement—in weaving together what he’s heard into something wholly new. He’s the truest kind of artist: a marvel of interpretation, invention, and timing.

But he can’t compete during the day. His song would be lost among all the others, each bird singing one clear note, loud and insistent, filling the sky with their sound.

So he sings at night, when it’s quiet. When his voice can finally carry.

The mockingbird needs that quiet space to shine.

The Need for Quiet Moments & Spaces

Lately, I've been thinking about the metaphor of it all—how easy it is for our own voices to get lost in the daytime noise of the world: the endless chatter, the scrolling, the expectations, the pressure to have a clear and polished message at all times.

But not all noise comes from outside us. Some of the loudest noise lives inside—second-guessing ourselves, measuring ourselves against others, letting fear drown out what we know to be true. It builds and builds until it’s hard to hear anything at all.

In a world that keeps getting louder, is there still room for a different kind of voice? A voice that doesn't just mimic what's popular or "correct," but arranges its own experiences into something original and true? Is there still space where we can hear ourselves think, create, and connect?

I believe there is. But sometimes, we have to make that space.

A Quiet Place to Begin Again

That's part of why I created the 14-Day Reinvention Challenge—not as another noisy demand on your time, but as a quiet place to land. A space where you can listen, reconnect, and begin to hear the shape of your own song again. Your own private nighttime quiet, if you will.

If you've been feeling the pull toward something new—even if it's only a whisper right now—I hope you'll give yourself the gift of that quiet. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to listen.

Your voice deserves to carry.
