What John Sarno Teaches Us About Insomnia | Ep 73
21 mai 2026
00:17:48
John Sarno made his mark in the mind-body world by challenging one powerful assumption: that chronic pain is caused by a broken body.
Instead, he proposed that the brain could generate symptoms in response to a perceived threat.
What if those exact same principles apply to insomnia?
Well, I believe they do.
In this episode, I break down how Sarno’s work applies directly to sleep—and why insomnia may have far more in common with chronic pain than a sleep disorder.
We’ll look at three key mechanisms that keep insomnia going—and once you see them, it will completely change how you understand what’s happening in your body.
This episode is my small ode of gratitude to Dr. John Sarno.

How Long Until Insomnia Goes Away? | Ep 71
02 avr. 2026
00:12:17
“How long until this goes away?”
It’s a question almost everyone asks and it’s the one that keeps us stuck.
In this episode, we talk about hyperarousal, timeline thinking, the waiting game, and why recovery begins when you start living instead of waiting.
We also talk about:
Why insomnia isn’t something you have, but something the brain learns to do
How timeline pressure can actually keep the nervous system activated
Why putting life on hold keeps sleep on a pedestal
The paradox that recovery often begins when you stop waiting for it to end
If you’ve been stuck in the “when will this end?” loop, this episode will help you see recovery from a completely different perspective.

10 Signs You’re Recovering From Insomnia | Ep 70
12 mars 2026
00:24:40
Wondering what true recovery actually looks?
Feel like sleep is the ONLY sign that things are getting better?
Wish you had a clearer sense of whether you’re on the right track?
This episode is for you.
Most of us who struggle with insomnia are driven, type-A, perfectionistic overachievers. We love a clear plan. A step-by-step path. Boxes to check.
Milestones feel reassuring because they show our brain that progress is happening.
But insomnia recovery doesn’t unfold in that neat, linear way. A when the milestones aren’t obvious, it can feel confusing… or even discouraging.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 10 common signs that healing is happening, even if sleep itself hasn’t come back online yet.
A few highlights:
Why recovery feels more like a cha-cha dance than a straight line
The real metric of success in insomnia recovery
Why sleep itself isn’t actually the solution to insomnia
What usually begins to change BEFORE sleep becomes consistent again
If you’ve been wondering whether you’re moving forward or spinning your wheels, this episode will help you see the ways progress is already unfolding.
Recovery isn’t just about getting your sleep back.

Insomnia and the Science of Focus | Ep 68
29 janv. 2026
00:20:44
When I had insomnia, I couldn’t figure out why anything having to do with sleep felt so GIGANTIC in my mind.
Every nuance, every sensation, every night felt more critical than the last.
It was very life-or-death to me.
What I didn’t realize at the time was:
There was a perfectly logical reason for this.
My brain wasn’t malfunctioning.
It was doing exactly what brains are designed to do.
It was filtering IN what mattered most. And filtering OUT what didn't.
Who knew?
And because not sleeping had become such an emotionally charged experience in my life, my brain learned to amplify every thought, sensation, and scenario around that exact thing.
In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind focus and explain why insomnia can feel so all-consuming.
Tune in to learn:
Why focus isn’t always something you choose
How the brain’s filtering system determines what dominates your awareness
Why sleep starts to feel urgent and impossible during insomnia
How meaning shapes attention
Why lasting change comes from new perspectives
If sleep has taken over your thoughts, your days, or your sense of safety in the world, this episode will help you understand WHY, and gently point you in a new direction forward.

You’ll learn:
Why insomnia is rooted in survival, not broken sleep
How wakefulness becomes linked with fear
The role hyperarousal plays in keeping the cycle alive
The difference between real danger and perceived threat
Why trying to fix sleep often backfires

How Carlos Got His Life Back from Insomnia | Ep 66
01 janv. 2026
00:47:32
In this deeply relatable episode, Carlos shares his honest journey through insomnia.
After years of overthinking and long sleep onset, a period of intense work stress pushed his nervous system into full-blown survival mode, and not sleeping became something his brain perceived as a threat.
Like so many others, Carlos did what we're told to do: CBT-I, sleep restriction, breathing exercises, supplements, medications, and constant sleep monitoring — only to find that the harder he tried, the worse it got.
In this conversation, Beth and Carlos explore the deeper truth behind insomnia:
Sleep isn’t something you need to produce. It’s something the body does naturally all on its own.
Tune in for hope, validation, and a new way of understanding insomnia recovery.

"My Body Will Remember How to Sleep" — Emily's Story | Ep 65
04 déc. 2025
00:31:13
Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken.
What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication, but nothing brought lasting relief.
Sleep became the center of her life.
Her turning point came when she realized she couldn’t keep rearranging her world around insomnia. Inside the mentorship, she learned about hyperarousal, let go of rigid rules, and began loosening her grip on sleep.
Slowly, her nervous system settled. What once had her spiraling felt less threatening over time.
Eventually, trust came to the forefront again. Her insight captures it perfectly:
“Of course my body will remember how to sleep.”
Today, sleep is no longer something she chases. It happens naturally while she lives her life.

3 Insights That Freed Me From Insomnia | Ep 62
23 oct. 2025
00:16:14
Beth spent 42 years chasing sleep.
Until one day, she realized the very effort to “fix” insomnia was the exact thing keeping her stuck.
What followed wasn’t another hack, routine, or bedtime ritual. It was a complete shift in how she related to sleep itself.
In this episode, Beth shares three transformational mindsets that quietly ended her lifelong battle with insomnia.
You’ll hear how ownership (without blame) restores power, why the fixing loop is a trap in disguise, and how living as if you’re already free creates the conditions for natural sleep to return.
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel trapped in the same old cycle, this one will turn everything you thought you knew about insomnia upside down.

Rewiring Sleep Anxiety (Encore) | Ep 61
09 oct. 2025
00:14:11
In this episode, I explore what I consider the single most powerful tool for overcoming insomnia — your response. When it comes to long-term recovery, it’s not about finding a magic sleep trick or trying harder to force sleep. It’s about how you respond to the experience of insomnia itself.
We’ll look at what happens when the brain’s hyperarousal system misinterprets sleeplessness as danger and how to shift that conditioned response back toward safety. You’ll learn how cultivating awareness, compassion, and curiosity rewires the brain through self-directed neuroplasticity — and why it’s not about doing more, but about doing less and trusting your body’s innate wisdom.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of trying to sleep harder, this episode offers a refreshing and hopeful perspective that can help you step off the hamster wheel and truly recover.
Takeaways:
Your response is your most powerful recovery tool.
Safety, not effort, is what restores natural sleep.
Compassion and awareness are the antidotes to hyperarousal.

Why Does Insomnia Go Away and Come Back? | Ep 59
11 sept. 2025
00:15:32
Ever feel like your insomnia was FINALLY gone… only to have it come back for no apparent reason?
This used to drive me absolutely bananas.
Insomnia can vanish for weeks, months—or even years at a time, and then reappear without warning.
No wonder it's so confusing.
But once I learned how memory works and how the brain stores experiences, it started to make a lot more sense.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the cyclical nature of insomnia points to a mind-body loop (not a broken brain)
How unconscious “imprints” get reactivated
What it really means when insomnia “comes back”
Why flare-ups aren’t “setbacks” but chances to update old wiring
The good news? The brain can rewire. So past triggers lose their grip—and you get to step fully into your life again 🧡

Leaving the Research Loop w/ Michelle Weil | Ep 57
17 juil. 2025
00:30:58
Stuck in the research loop with insomnia?
You’re not alone.
When sleep becomes unpredictable, researching feels like the next best thing to do. Because at least you're doing something… right?
But what if that something is quietly reinforcing the very problem you’re trying to solve?
In this episode, Beth and Michelle talk about why it’s so easy to get trapped in the research loop, and why it’s so hard to get out.
Listen as we explore:
Why researching creates the illusion of safety
How it keeps us stuck in fear instead of freedom
Why true recovery begins when you stop searching for it
If you’ve been operating from the belief that more knowledge equals more sleep, this conversation will gently challenge that idea—and invite you into a new one.

Relinking Wakefulness | Ep 56
26 juin 2025
00:14:55
Have you ever wondered what actually makes insomnia recovery possible?
In this episode, I talk about exactly that.
We explore one of the most hopeful principles of neuroplasticity — and why it’s the reason getting beyond insomnia isn't just possible… but inevitable when you understand how the brain works.
The human brain has the amazing capacity to change associations and shift links.
And truly, is there anything more miraculous than that?
In this episode, you’ll learn how:
Your responses play a key role in rewiring the brain
Insomnia isn’t a sign that something is broken, but a conditioned pattern rooted in hyperarousal
Changing your brain’s association with wakefulness can be a turning point in recovery
I also share a personal story that illustrates how learned fear responses can shift, and why that same shift is completely possible for you, too.

“You Don’t Have to Heal Everything to Sleep Again” — Liz’s Story | Ep 55
05 juin 2025
00:32:24
I had such a lovely time sitting down with Liz, a psychotherapist and alum of the Mind. Body. Sleep. mentorship.
Not only did Liz make it through insomnia herself, but she stayed active in the community to support others still on their way.
Like so many of us, she tried everything:
Impeccable sleep hygiene
CBT-I
Sleep meds
But the more she tried, the more fear crept in.
Not just a fear of not sleeping, but a fear of fear itself.
Which is such a common part of this journey.
This episode is filled with heart and insight. A few standout moments:
“Not only was I afraid of not sleeping, I was afraid of fear.”
“You don’t have to heal everything to sleep again.”
“Even a little bit of self-compassion is powerful.”
If your nervous system feels stuck in high gear, or you’ve lost trust with your body, Liz’s story will help you feel so much less alone.
Enjoy! 🧡
Mentioned Resources:
Liz is licensed in both South Carolina and Illinois. If you’ve gone through insomnia recovery and are looking for excellent aftercare, I can’t recommend her enough.

How to Overcome Doubt and Keep Moving Forward | Ep 54
22 mai 2025
00:13:02
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 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. 🧡

What Traditional Advice Gets Wrong About Insomnia | Ep 52
17 avr. 2025
00:26:24
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!

3 Quantum Shifts For Insomnia Recovery | Ep 51
03 avr. 2025
00:17:09
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 versus just the part
I loved working on this episode.
Getting beyond insomnia isn’t about doing more, it’s about seeing sleep differently.
And sometimes all it takes is one little quantum shift to change everything.

"There's Tremendous Power in Letting Go" — Mike's Hope Story | Ep 50
20 mars 2025
00:37:01
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 found tremendous power in letting go.”
“I don’t need that much to recover from insomnia.”
“At one point, I was literally sitting on the floor petting my cat thinking, is this really what it takes to sleep?”
This interview was such a delight. Mike’s story is real. His perspective is sharp. And his humor is the icing on the cake.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in the overthinking, overanalyzing, sleep-obsessing loop, this episode is for you.

How to Deal with Scary Health Information | Ep 49
06 mars 2025
00:14:47
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 learn:
How overexposure to health information just fuels anxiety
Why avoiding ALL sleep discussions isn’t the answer.
How to build an internal foundation of trust (so external noise loses its grip).
Why triggers aren’t setbacks.
Your brain is always adapting. You’re not at the mercy of outside information and you can control how you engage with it.

Belief or Behavior: Which Comes First? w/ Michelle Weil | Ep 48
13 févr. 2025
00:41:16
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 any of these thoughts feel like unshakable facts?
"I'll never recover."
"My body is broken."
"I'm the one person who can't be helped."
If so, you're not alone.
But what if these persistent thoughts aren't absolute truths? What if they're just well-rehearsed mental loops running on replay?
Michelle and I explore:
How limiting beliefs unknowingly fuel sleep anxiety
Whether belief shifts first — or behavior leads the way
Simple ways to challenge old sleep narratives
Why you don’t need perfect beliefs to recover
If fear-based beliefs are keeping you stuck, this episode is a must!
Listen for truths rather than fixes. Because those are the realizations that will lead you back to effortless sleep.

Why Do I Fall Asleep Right Before I Have to Get Up? | Ep 46
16 janv. 2025
00:13:17
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 it comes overcoming insomnia.

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 biological process.
In this episode, Kim talks about:
How letting go of rules turned out to be the best rule
How reframing separate bedrooms brought her peace
The magic of no longer postponing joy
The mindset shift that transformed her recovery
Her heartfelt advice for anyone still navigating insomnia
Kim’s story is a powerful reminder to embrace the moment, release perfection, and rediscover joy.
Because true healing comes from living, not waiting.

Has Sleep Become a Battle? | Ep 42
14 nov. 2024
00:16:23
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.
Sleep isn't something we overcome. It’s something we allow.
In fact, seeing it as a fight makes our brain think there’s a threat, keeping us in fight-or-flight.
In this episode, I share a personal story that flipped my perspective. Here's what else I cover:
Why insomnia doesn’t respond to force or control
The surprising benefits of not viewing sleep as a battle
Simple shifts that help your brain feel safe enough to sleep
Why fighting harder makes it go slower
When you step out of the battle and become the teacher that’s when healing begins
If you’re tired of struggling and want a different approach, this episode could be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s not about trying harder — it’s about creating a mental space where sleep feels safe and easy again.

Breaking Up with Insomnia | Ep 41
31 oct. 2024
00:14:04
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 ever going to over this??”
But as we rewire our brains, life gets bigger, and insomnia gets smaller.
Eventually we fall out of insomnia the same way we fall out of love.
Join me for a raw, metaphor-driven view of how to finally "break up" with insomnia so you can live a life where sleep doesn’t define you.

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

Sleeping with a Bed Partner Again | Ep 38
19 sept. 2024
00:15:38
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.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
Nothing at all.
You just have a super amazing brain.

That’s why sleeping next to someone else feels so completely impossible.
Your brain is CONVINCED this is a terrible idea. But you know what?
It doesn’t have to be this way. Tune into this episode where I walk you through a 3-step process that will guide you back towards sleeping peacefully with a partner again.

How Arelys Beat Insomnia and Found Trust in Her Body Again | Ep 37
05 sept. 2024
00:32:04
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’s entirely possible to recover from insomnia.
In this episode, Arelys shares her journey:
From being a good sleeper her whole life to having sleep anxiety
How frustrating it was to be tired and NOT tired at the same time
How Reddit left her more distressed than ever
The moment she found some random lady on the internet and found her people
How her response to insomnia was causing more suffering
What she did to process some of the anger she felt about insomnia
The powerful role of self-kindness in the process
Why simply allowing whatever shows up during recovery is what allows it to go
I loved every second of this interview.
For Arelys, the mentorship wasn’t just about better sleep. It was about living the life she really wants to live and understanding her own power in making it happen.

Sleep Efforts and Why They Matter | Ep 35
08 août 2024
00:18:05
When you have insomnia, sleep can feel like a nightly battleground.
The harder we try to fix it, the more elusive it becomes. Insomnia is driven by the very efforts we make to escape it.
So many people (myself included) get caught in a cycle of trying everything — different teas, blackout curtains, sleep apps — only to find that these efforts just contribute to the problem.
It’s incredibly frustrating.
You might feel completely alone in this, but I assure you, you’re not. Many people share this struggle. The good news is there’s a way out.
Tune in and learn:
What effortlessness truly means
Why I’m fascinated with the flow state
Everything you need to know about sleep efforts
The role of the Law of Reversed Effort
How sleep efforts reinforce the problem they’re meant to solve
Why intention is the only thing that matters
By understanding the concept of effortlessness, we can break free from the cycle of never-ending sleep efforts and let our bodies do what they’re naturally designed to do.

Hyperarousal and the Expectation Effect | Ep 26
04 avr. 2024
00:12:16
This week I’m talking all about hyperarousal and the Expectation Effect.
Do you ever find yourself thinking things like:
“I understand all of this logically, so why am I still not sleeping?”
“I didn’t go to bed until I was sleepy, but then I still didn’t sleep. Why is that?”
“I normally sleep well on the weekends, but this week I didn’t. What’s going on?”
These are all perfectly normal thoughts that can lead to some hyperarousal.
Hyperarousal stems from expecting something about a situation to be different from what it actually is.
In this episode, I first talk about acceptability thresholds:
What they are
Why we create them
The two most important things you need to know about them
Next, we look at how expectations create resistance to what is — keeping us stuck in the struggle with sleep.
Lastly, we explore how to meet this challenge and why expectations might not be as essential as we think.
