Understanding Hyperarousal w/ Richard Wills | Ep 63

Episode 63

Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 23:32

In this foundational episode, Beth is joined by Mind. Body. Sleep.® co-coach Richard Wills to explore one of the most important — and least understood — aspects of insomnia recovery: hyperarousal.

Together, they unpack what hyperarousal really is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it’s the true obstacle standing between you and effortless sleep.

You’ll learn the four types of hyperarousal and how each one can subtly (or not so subtly) keep the brain on high alert.

Beth and Richard share personal insights, relatable stories, and practical ways to help your brain stand down from perceived threats so sleep can re-emerge on its own.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels wired when you feel tired, this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.

Key topics:

What hyperarousal is and how it develops
The difference between appropriate arousal and overactivation
Emotional, physical, mental, and silent hyperarousal explained
How fear of wakefulness reinforces insomnia
Practical ways to calm the system and teach the brain safety again

How to Overcome Doubt and Keep Moving Forward | Ep 54

Episode 54

Thursday, May 22, 2025 • Duration 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. 🧡

The Innocent Mindset That Kept Me Stuck (for years) | Ep 53

Episode 53

Thursday, May 8, 2025 • Duration 11:26

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! 🧡

What Traditional Advice Gets Wrong About Insomnia | Ep 52

Episode 52

Thursday, April 17, 2025 • Duration 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

Episode 51

Thursday, April 3, 2025 • Duration 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.

Enjoy! 🧡

"There's Tremendous Power in Letting Go" — Mike's Hope Story | Ep 50

Episode 50

Thursday, March 20, 2025 • Duration 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

Episode 49

Thursday, March 6, 2025 • Duration 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

Episode 48

Thursday, February 13, 2025 • Duration 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.

Enjoy! 🧡

The ONE Simple Sentence That Got Me Through Recovery | Ep 47

Episode 47

Thursday, January 30, 2025 • Duration 07:46

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 and anxiety
Shift from fixing to understanding

Recovery, like life, doesn’t have to be a constant struggle. It can be a hopeful journey forward and a meaningful chance to deepen your understanding of yourself and the whole human experience.
