When I started my healing journey, some days felt unbearable. One of the simplest things that helped? Long drives with my husband, windows down, blasting our Yacht Rock playlist. Smooth tunes, sunshine, and a little escape from it all. 🌊🎶

Drop a YES in the comments if you want the playlist — I’m happy to share. ​.

🧘‍♀️ New Episode Alert 🌙
In this episode, I’m guiding you through a sleep meditation designed to gently activate your parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s natural “rest and digest” mode.

Using slow bilateral stimulation, we’ll engage both sides of your brain to encourage deep relaxation, calm the mind, and prepare your body for truly restful sleep.

Perfect for winding down at the end of a long day. Put on your headphones, get cozy, and let yourself drift. 🌌💤
