“Disappear, Return Stronger Part 1…” Cut The Noise!
This is the first episode of the 5-part miniseries, “Disappear, Return Stronger: Go unseen. Grow Unbroken. Return whole.” in the Lynda: Rooted&Real podcast.
In ‘Disappear, Return Stronger Part 1’, Lynda shares useful thoughts on stepping back from distractions and giving personal growth more room.
Constant demands, outside opinions, and daily routines can make it harder to notice what you need or what matters to you. She encourages you to reconnect with yourself through honest reflection and to make space for the goals and interests you may have set aside.
This process can help you recognise your strengths, understand what you want, and begin moving towards your true potential with greater purpose.

[00:18.13]Hey, this is Lynda, again on Rooted&Real.
[00:23.57]We’re going to start an episode of How to Disappear and Come Back.
[00:29.49]Today, we’re going to do ‘Cut the Noise’.
[00:34.69]Everybody wants a glow up.
[00:36.53]You know that ‘Shwaaaah!’ but nobody wants to disappear to get it.
[00:42.01]If you want to come back stronger, you have to cut the noise first.
[00:47.73]What is noise?
[00:49.53]Noise is the opinions.
[00:51.33]Noise is the group chats that drain you.
[00:53.97]Noise is posting everything so that people can clap.
[00:57.49]Noise is checking who viewed your story.
[01:01.25]Let me tell you, you cannot heal in noise.
[01:04.33]You cannot build in noise.
[01:07.01]Think of it like this.
[01:08.85]A seed does not grow on top of a table where everyone can see it.
[01:13.77]This seed grows under the soil in the dark where It is quiet.
[01:19.13]And that’s your season now.
[01:21.65]Now, here’s step one.
[01:23.69]You can either agree or disagree.
[01:26.21]Disappear.
[01:28.01]Not out of bitterness, and not because you hate people,
[01:31.17]but because you need to hear yourself again.
[01:35.17]Mute some people, leave some groups.
[01:37.81]Stop telling everyone your plans.
[01:40.41]Plans told too early, they lose the power.
[01:44.97]When you go silent, two things happen: First, you realise who actually checks
[01:51.81]on you when you’re not performing.
[01:54.65]Second, you finally hear your own voice.
[01:59.37]What do you want?
[02:01.45]Not what they expect.
[02:03.49]And cutting noise is not brutal.
[02:05.45]It is self-rescue.
[02:07.81]So this week you can do no announcements.
[02:10.85]No, ‘Ati’ (like), “I’m taking a break.”
[02:15.61]Just go quiet.
[02:17.89]Let them wander.
[02:19.13]Use that energy to work on you because you cannot come back stronger
[02:25.09]if you never left to rebuild.
[02:30.05]So, so.
[02:31.81]So, catch up with me on Lynda: Rooted&Real (@LyndaRootedNReal) on Facebook,
[02:37.81]Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok (and other platrforms).
[02:41.81]Thanks, guys.
