In this episode, I break down four steps to stop sleep anxiety for good, and none of them are the meditation or deep breathing advice you've probably already tried.


You'll learn:

  • The four steps to stop sleep anxiety for good

  • Why your brain won't stop bringing up sleep, even when you're trying not to think about it

  • Why your sleep might not actually be as bad as you think it is

  • A simple technique to use at bedtime or if you wake up anxious in the night

  • The root cause that keeps sleep anxiety coming back even after you've tried everything else


Plus, I share my client Samantha's story, from years of band aid fixes to a breaking point that cost her time at work, and what we finally found underneath it all.
