Let's talk about doubt.

Doubt is something every single person on the recovery path deals with, and I was no exception.

In this episode, we take a deeper look at what doubt really is, why it feels so powerful, and how to shift your relationship with it so it no longer holds you back.

Come with me and learn:

1. What’s actually driving doubt (hint: safety!), and why it’s a normal part of the...

Today I’m talking about a mindset that quietly fueled insomnia and kept me stuck for years. 

This mindset can create pressure, anxiety, and an endless loop of trying to "get it right."

If you're feeling stuck... overwhelmed... wondering why your brain still won't let go — this might be a part of the picture.

Tune in to explore the quiet beliefs that keep this loop alive, and how to shi...

It was such fun to sit down with Richard Wills MD, resident sleep coach in the Mind. Body. Sleep. Mentorship, to discuss why conventional advice often misses the mark when it comes to insomnia. 

Tune in to hear:

• The only two factors that truly influence sleep
• Why CBT-I can backfire (even though it's considered the "gold standard")
• How rigid, rule-based systems can actually increase anxiety
• Why more effort ke...

This episode is a little science, a little woo, and a whole lot of HOPE.

If you’ve ever felt like the harder you try to sleep, the more impossible it becomes — you’re not alone.

In this talk, Beth breaks down:

• Why paying so much attention to sleep makes it less likely to happen
• How multiple sleep realities already exist (yes, even the peaceful one!)
• Why working through sleep anxiety requires looking at the whole ...

Mike spent months fighting with sleep.

Melatonin? Nope.

Sleep hygiene? Not the magic answer.

CBT-I? Let’s just say it had him sitting in the dark, petting his cat, calculating his “sleep score” like a mathematician.

The more he tried, the worse things got. Until he realized something HUGE — the best way to control sleep is to not try and control it.

This episode is packed with powerful insights you don’t want to miss:

• “I fo...

Our world is FLOODED with health advice. And not all of it is helpful.

Especially if you're recovering from insomnia.

You're going along, working your way back to peaceful sleep, and then BAM!

Another scary statistic shows up.

And you feel that old fear rise to the surface again.

So, what can we do?

In this episode, I answer that very thing.

Listen in and l...

This week I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Michelle Weil, fellow sleep coach (and dear friend), to discuss a powerful question in the insomnia recovery process:

Does belief shape behavior, or does behavior shift belief?

And why does it even matter?

Well, if you're struggling insomnia, you've probably got some unhelpful beliefs about sleep that aren't even true.

Do a...

What if insomnia recovery didn’t have to be awful?

What if it could be one of the most interesting things you ever experience?

For me, it was. And it can be for you, too.

In this episode, I share the one sentence that transformed my recovery and why I still rely on it today.

This simple sentence helped me:

• Embrace curiosity about my experience
• Reduce judgment
• Create some distance between myself ...

When I had insomnia, I’d toss and turn all night, only to fall blissfully asleep right before the alarm went off.

Even more strange, I’d stay awake all night, but then magically fall asleep during my 10-minute snooze alarm.

So what gives?

Well, it’s not as strange as it might seem. In fact, it makes perfect sense.

Tune into this episode to understand why this happens and how “less is more” when i...

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Jennifer, another Mind. Body. Sleep. graduate, to discuss her transformative journey through insomnia.

She candidly shares the two factors that LED to her struggle, and the breakthroughs that finally helped her out.

On releasing pressure around sleep:

"The whole time I was like, ‘Is this physical? Is it hormonal? I need to take a pill.’ But when the press...

Understand all the concepts intellectually but still struggle to sleep?

Wondering what you’re missing?

Feel like you just need that one magical piece of information that's going to make it all click?

Then this episode is for YOU.

Not only do I share my own personal story of how the bees RADICALLY changed my life. But I also break down why recovery isn't just about intellect — it's ...

Kim’s journey from being a naturally great sleeper to battling insomnia is a raw, real, and deeply inspiring story.

Always a champion sleeper, Kim faced her first bout of insomnia after becoming a new mom and experiencing a “perfect storm” of stress, hormonal changes, and personal challenges.

A fear of not sleeping took over, leading her into the insomnia trap where sleep became an effort versus just a natural bio...

The wildest thing about sleep is that the more we battle it, the further we get from it.

Today's podcast episode explores why insomnia feels like a battle for so many, and why that mindset might be holding you back.

I spent most of my life wrestling with insomnia, believing that if I just tried hard enough, I could overcome it.

Imagine my surprise to learn it was the exact opposite of that.

...

In this episode, I’m talking all things metaphors and what it looks like to break up with insomnia.

It’s not about quick fixes (they don't work anyway). It’s about unraveling the deep neural pathways that keep us stuck.

The journey out of insomnia, much like moving on from love, is messy and nonlinear.

It's very up and down.

One day, progress feels real. The next, it’s like: “When am I...

Is there anything worse than watching the clock tick by hour by hour when you can't sleep?

I don’t think so.

Time caused me a tremendous amount of suffering when I was going through insomnia. Because I put a timeline on practically EVERYTHING related to sleep.

My goal with this podcast is to inspire you to think differently about time.

Because time and sleep just aren’t a great mix any way y...

In this beautiful interview, Majken opens up about her experience with insomnia, which started in her early 20’s after a stressful life event.

She tried all the traditional avenues over the years including medication and CBTI.

But insomnia kept coming back.

When you have insomnia, even minor sleep disruptions feel GIGANTIC in the mind.

I could hear a pin drop two rooms over.

And the reason? A complete mystery to me.

I had no idea.

Which only made my brain freak-out WORSE.

There had to be something seriously wrong with me.

But I have good news.

If you’re someone who notices every noise, every movement, every sleep disruptor...

Arelys’ struggle with insomnia began on a family vacation when she found it hard to sleep at a noisy Airbnb. Upon returning home, she thought her sleep would return.

But that’s not what happened.

Instead, she went through many more months of struggle trying desperately to understand what was going on with her sleep.

Finally, she found the mentorship and while skeptical at first, she soon realized that it’...

If you’ve ever had the disheartening experience of sleeping better for a while, only to fall “back” into insomnia, this one’s for you.

Today I’m talking all about speed bumps.

And I’m doing it through the lens of David Goggins.

Because here's the thing about speed bumps … they’re normal.

Not only normal, but necessary.

We can’t really recover without them.
