Caffeine clearly has an impact on my sleep and quality of sleep BUT!! When I take the time to calm my nervous system and step into a feeling of safety using the insights and wind down audio from Inner Circle, the caffeine doesn’t seem to matter! Yesterday I drank coffee way later than my cut off knowing it would disrupt my sleep but needing to survive the drive home. I had resigned myself to a crappy night sleep & I think that resignation in itself helped me not get into fight mode. I listened to the Wind Down audio, said some safety and love affirmations and ended up sleeping really well! I woke up several times but fell back asleep without stress. Ahhhhhhh ☺️

After 8 years of coaching and supporting people finding their sleep, I am fully convinced of this: Lacking Purpose is a main contributor to poor sleep. Here's why this matters: Your nervous system has two primary states: - "Fight or flight" (stress response) - "Rest and digest" (relaxation response) When you feel disconnected from what matters to you—when you're just going through the motions—your body can stay subtly stressed. It’s means there is a disconnection between who you truly are and what are you doing in your life. This lack of connection can keep your body scanning for safety, scanning to be understood and seen. And a stressed nervous system simply won't allow deep, restorative sleep. But when you live aligned with your values and purpose? Your body naturally shifts into that relaxation state that makes good sleep possible. It makes it possible to lay your head day at night with a sense of completion, feeling fully satiated. Ask Yourself Honestly: - Why do you wake up in the morning? - How often do you say "I should" versus "I want to"? - What percentage of your day feels meaningful versus obligatory? Your answers might reveal why sleep keeps seeming to run away, despite all your efforts with supplements, routines, and sleep hygiene.

It was beautiful to witness the support, vulnerability, and connection in the group. Hearing each of you share your experiences, wins, and struggles reminds us that we’re not alone on this journey. Sleep struggles can feel isolating, but in this space, we show up for ourselves and each other—and that’s powerful. Oh and the group seemed interested in the 40 day nervous system reset I offer as well as the live meditations so i'll share it here. THe inner circle group which is $29/month has all that plus more live call supports. Feel free to check it out:) https://www.skool.com/healing-sleep-inner-circle/about

For those that have watched the the "Start Here" Course Videos, I'm curious what you feel the source of your sleep challenges are? Is it more Biological (Lifestyle), Psychological or Emotional? Or of course some combination.

Sometimes the hardest part of the sleep journey isn’t just the exhaustion or the restless nights—it’s feeling like you’re the only one struggling. If you are feeling stuck, hurting, overwhelmed, exhausted I encourage you to share your challenge. We’re here to support you.💜
