The 9 Things Calm People Do Differently

By Monique Rhodes

May 27, 2026


Monique has spent fifteen years around genuinely calm people — and she means the real ones, not the ones who post about it. They all do nine very specific things that the rest of us don't.

This episode walks through all nine. Not personality traits. Not temperament. Habits. Which means they're learnable.

Number six is the one almost no one believes is actually a calmness skill. Number eight is the one Monique personally got most wrong, for the longest time.

You'll hear what calm people do with small decisions, why they refuse to run a tight schedule, why they don't argue back at their own thoughts, and the very specific thing they do with other people's moods that the rest of us get backwards.

If you have spent the last year feeling slightly behind, slightly buzzing, slightly never-quite-arrived — this episode is for you.
