Doubt is something every single person on the insomnia 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 human experience.

2. The two kinds of doubt, and why only one of them is worth giving your attention to.

3. The exact step-by-step process I use with my clients to help them uncover whatever story is driving their doubt.

Recovery isn’t about eliminating doubt. It’s about changing how you relate to it… and living your life anyway. 🧡

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 shift out of it for good.

Enjoy! 🧡

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 keeps you on the hamster wheel if fixes
• How simple education becomes life-changing when it targets the real issue

This conversation is warm, honest, and deeply validating.

If you’ve ever felt like a “special case” or that you’ve “tried everything,” this episode will help you feel seen — and offer a hopeful path forward.

If Richard and I can overcome a combined 85 years of insomnia between us, you can too!
