Welcome to a new episode of ASMR Sleep Recordings. In this episode, you will hear a calming babbling brook. Improve your health and happiness.The sound you hear in this episode creates a calm atmosphere and at the same time blocks out disturbing noises. This will help you de-stress, unwind, and rest. Enjoy two hours of relaxing sounds to help you relax, focus, study and fall asleep.About ASMR Sleep Recordings:The purpose of ASMR Sleep Recording is to help you sleep and concentrate better. This particular episode lasts two hours and has no ads in the middle, so you won't be woken up or disturbed while focusing or relaxing. When you listen to ASMR Sleep Recordings, you can lock your phone, so you won't get any bothersome stimuli from notifications and other sounds from your phone. You can switch between apps while studying or working without pausing the ambient sound.About our sounds:Water creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to running water is an ideal way to turn off all the stressful things life brings, and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds include a river, flowing creek, babbling brook, gentle waves on a lake, and a bamboo fountain. Rain also creates a natural white noise. Infused with the relaxing quality of nature and the sound-masking properties of white noise, listening to rain is an ideal way to switch off all the stressful things life brings and to de-stress. Some of our most popular sounds are rain on an umbrella, hailstorms, hard rain, soft rain, gentle rain, wind and rain, rain on a car.White noise helps babies and children to get a better and deeper night's sleep. This is because external sounds are masked by the noise. With white noise in the background, your child will not hear annoying cars driving by or dogs barking in bed. This allows your little one to sleep better. And it also saves you as a parent a lot of hours!Pink noise is more common in nature than you might expect. It can be compared to continuous rainfall or wind. In addition to white noise, pink noise is also increasing in popularity, especially in business environments. Because it can increase productivity, concentration and creativity.Brown noise can be compared to waves of the sea, a river current, strong winds or the sound of thunder during a storm. Like pink noise, brown noise is very similar to white noise. However, the frequencies have been lowered even further and a lot more concentrated. This gives it a rougher/coarse tone than pink noise. It sounds a bit deeper and a bit bass-like. The benefits of brown noise are the same as the other types of noise. It provides relaxation, increased focus and improved deep sleep.DISCLAIMER: Be aware that loud noises can damage your hearing. If you can't carry on a conversation without raising your voice while playing one of our spheres, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Do not place the speakers directly next to a baby's ears. If you have trouble hearing or ringing in your ears, stop listening to the white noise immediately and see an audiologist or your doctor. The sounds provided by ASMR Sleep Recordings are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus.

In late September, President Donald Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) — a sweeping directive ordering federal agencies to target what it calls “domestic terrorism” linked to so-called anti-fascist movements. Citing incidents like the assassination of Charlie Kirk and riots in Los Angeles and Portland, the memo instructs law enforcement to investigate “anti-American,” “anti-capitalist,” and “anti-Christian” ideologies — while omitting far-right violence entirely. Chris Cuomo breaks down why NSPM-7 may be the most alarming policy yet of Trump's presidency: how it redefines dissent as extremism, blurs the line between free speech and criminal intent, and expands federal power to police ideas instead of actions."

QUOTES “Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn't make statistical significance, they were trending that way.” “It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you're having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.” “Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it's statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it's] really powerful but gentle.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your free VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event https://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_snyder Order Mitopure (Urolithin A) at Timeline HERE with discount code ENERGIZED for 20% off your purchase!  https://⁠timeline.com/ENERGIZED Timeline on Instagram Jen Scheinman on Instagram  RELATED EPISODES  663: From Wired and Tired to Calm and Energized: The GABA-Mitochondria Connection + How to Fix It at the Cellular Level with Dr. Scott Sherr #653: Mitochondria, Menopause & Metabolism: The Cellular Secret to More Energy After 40 with Dr. Felice Gersh #623: Red Light Therapy for Upgrading Your Mitochondria, Cellular Energy, Skin and Brain Health with Jonathan Otto 595: How to Master Your Metabolism and Reverse Cellular Aging in Midlife + My Best Tips to Thrive with Dr. Mariza

They kill. Then they smile for cameras, clock in for work, or go grocery shopping. In this chilling Hidden Killers investigation, we explore “The Performance of Normal” — the haunting calm that follows murder. Starting with Bryan Kohberger, who prosecutors say was seen casually shopping hours after the brutal Idaho student murders, we dive deep into the psychology behind that eerie stillness. Why do some killers seem completely composed after committing horrific crimes? From John List, who ate lunch next to his wife's body before vanishing for 18 years… To Dennis Rader (BTK), who left a Boy Scout camp to murder and came back by morning to flip pancakes for the troop. To Chris Watts, who went to work just hours after killing his pregnant wife and daughters. To Stephen McDaniel, who gave a TV interview about his “missing” neighbor — the same woman he had just murdered. To Colonel Russell Williams, a respected Canadian military commander smiling for charity photos days after taking a life. To Tyler Hadley, the Florida teen who killed his parents, then threw a party with their bodies hidden in the next room. To Susan Smith, the mother who tearfully begged for her children's return after drowning them herself. And Ian Huntley, the school caretaker who joined the search for two girls he had already murdered. This episode examines the psychology of composure — how killers weaponize calmness, and why society so often mistakes it for innocence. It's not just what they do. It's what they don't. Because sometimes, evil doesn't look like rage. It looks like control. It looks like “normal.”

Not all grief comes from what we lose. Some grief comes from what never happened, the life you imagined, the love that never came, the path that never opened. This episode holds space for that quiet kind of sadness. It offers words for what's hard to name and reminds you it's okay to mourn what might have been. Let's Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

This week's episode comes from an impromptu airport ride recording, Vance Crowe captures a conversation with Thomas Nguyen, an Uber driver whose warm greeting sparks a profound dialogue about faith, culture, parenting, and restraint. The discussion traces Thomas's childhood in Vietnam, exploring religious crackdowns and shifts through the decades, and the intricate dynamics among Catholics, Buddhists, and the state. Thomas shares how Buddhist principles of calm, silence, and nonreactivity guide his parenting and conflict resolution, using vivid metaphors—like the stone and the water, or the gift refused—to illustrate how stillness restores balance amid chaos. As a father of young children, Vance finds himself transformed by the encounter. In the days following, he applies Thomas's wisdom, choosing calm over reaction, which reshapes a hectic weekend at home. This episode invites listeners to bridge accents and backgrounds, revealing how values shape daily choices and offering a path to a steadier strength in family life and beyond.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTP

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

A Monday invitation to drop the exhausting performance of trying to be impressive.

When your teen snaps or shuts down, could anxiety be hiding underneath?What can you do—today—to support them without “fixing” them? Colleen talks with therapist and author Sophia Vale Galano, LCSW about recognizing teen anxiety (including surprising signs like irritability and anger), the biological and cultural drivers (from hormones to social media and admissions pressure), and what actually helps at home. They unpack why quick fixes backfire, how to communicate about hard topics, and ways to modify expectations, build self-esteem, and set boundaries over blanket restrictions (e.g., muting or curating feeds instead of banning apps). Sophia shares practical scripts, “what to say/what to avoid,” and mom-first strategies like leading by example and using preventive care long before a crisis. Sophia Vale Galano is a licensed clinical social worker serving teens and adults in California. With experience across residential, inpatient, outpatient, and school settings, she specializes in adolescent anxiety and parent coaching. Her new book, Calming Teenage Anxiety, gives parents concrete tools and phrases to support anxious teens with clarity and compassion. Three takeaways: Listen before you fix. Validation opens the door; advice can slam it shut. Boundaries beat restrictions. Curate tech (mute/restrict/positive follows) rather than blanket bans to protect self-esteem and trust. Model what you want to see. Your therapy, rest, limits, and self-care quietly teach your teen how to manage anxiety.

Some days it feels like your child's big emotions are just too much—and your own stress boils over too. You're not failing as a parent. What's happening is called co-dysregulation—two nervous systems stuck in survival mode together.This episode matters because when kids struggle to regulate emotions, they rely on your calming presence to learn how to do it. When you practice co-regulation parenting, you're not just stopping meltdowns—you're teaching your child lifelong emotional skills for resilience and self regulation.In this episode, you'll learn:What co regulation really means (and what it isn't)Why kids mirror your nervous system—even without wordsPractical ways to pause, reset, and co regulate in difficult momentsWhy does my child's meltdown make me lose it too?When your child is in distress, your nervous system naturally reacts. This can feel overwhelming, especially if you weren't modeled healthy emotional regulation growing up.It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Your child's cues trigger your own stress responses.Mirror neurons mean your child learns to regulate emotions by watching you.Chronic stress, fatigue, and past trauma can intensify your reaction.Staying calm doesn't come naturally—it's a skill you practice over time, not perfection.When your child is dysregulated, it's easy to feel helpless.The Regulation Rescue Kit gives you the scripts and strategies you need to stay grounded and in control.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and get your free kit today.How can I stay calm when my child has big emotions?Your child learns best when you co-regulate in the moment. Instead of reacting, you anchor their storm with your calm.Pause before reacting. Take a deep breath, unclench your jaw, soften your facial expressions.Name what's happening. Try phrases like, “I see you're having a hard time. I'm here for you.”Offer gentle structure. Calm tone, clear expectations, and consistent limits help children feel safe.Practice self care. You can't be a calming presence if you're running on empty.Parent Tip: Kids don't just “catch” calm—they learn it through your regulated presence.Want proven tools to stop meltdowns before they spiral? Quick Calm gives you step-by-step strategies to help your child reset their brain and bring calm back into your home.What are examples of co-regulation strategies I can use today?Co-regulation parenting isn't about rescuing or fixing—it's about providing structure and emotional support during tough moments.Slow breathing together. Invite your child to take deep breaths with you.Grounding through touch. A gentle touch or steady eye contact signals safety.Model naming emotions. Say, “I feel frustrated, so I'm taking a deep breath.”Practice in calm times. Just like athletes train before the big game, kids benefit from practicing coping strategies when things are calm.Remember: A supportive environment helps children develop new skills for handling intense emotions.What if my child never seems to calm down?When children stay stuck in dysregulation, it can feel hopeless. But research suggests that consistent co-regulation...

Meditation imitates life in so many ways. When we face set backs, road blocks, or failures in our path, so often the only thing left to do is begin again. Just as in meditation when we find our mind wandering, we have to be mindful of it, acknowledge it and return to our breath. Begin again. This meditation aims to remind us that no matter what, there is no such thing as failure, so long as we keep going.

What happens when ambition meets burnout—and what becomes possible on the other side? In this episode, Casey sits down with Emmelin Boixareu, a Barcelona native, interior designer, and entrepreneur who turned her breaking point into a blueprint for building businesses that actually support life instead of consuming it. Emmelin's story is one many high-achieving women will recognize: saying yes to every opportunity, tying her worth to her work, and pushing through until her body literally couldn't anymore. But what makes this conversation so valuable is what happened next—how she learned to set boundaries, honor her nervous system, and identify the real problems in her industry that she was uniquely positioned to solve. Now running two successful businesses—La Troupe and Gigson Solutions—Emmelin has become what Casey calls "a bridge builder," connecting people, systems, and solutions in ways that create efficiency, humanity, and sustainable success. In this honest conversation, we explore: The ego's role in burnout: How validation, ambition, and the fear of being "less worthy" kept Emmelin in an unsustainable cycle The volcano moment: Why sometimes we need a dramatic shift in perspective to realize what's actually worth our energy Returning to work with boundaries: How setting limits after burnout can actually lead to more expansive opportunities Building businesses from pain points: How Emmelin identified gaps in the construction and tech industries and created solutions that serve both clients and employees The body remembers: Why nervous system regulation has to come before purpose-driven work can truly thrive Being a bridge: How combining people skills with technical knowledge creates unique value in any industry This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped in the loop of overworking, anyone recovering from burnout, or anyone wondering how to build a business that doesn't require you to sacrifice your well-being. If you're ready to stop proving your worth through exhaustion and start building something sustainable, this conversation will light the way.

“Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone.   Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?”   About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change.   She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others.   The Humility of Healing..... By Wendi Cohen   Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish. It's the willingness to meet yourself again and again—with humility, curiosity, and love.” — Wendi

Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, and I sat down to talk about the power of meditation and why Transcendental Meditation has such a profound effect on the nervous system. I've been practicing TM since reading Catching the Big Fish in 2017, and it completely changed how I approach stillness, creativity, and calm. Listen in as we celebrate World Mental Health Day 2025 and explore how a few minutes of silence can truly change your life.

The work is done. Now the mind takes over. The day before your big moment isn't about doing more—it's about thinking better. Show Notes: In this pre-race reflection, Baylor Barbee unpacks the hidden power of the day before. Whether it's a competition, a pitch, or a personal milestone, success isn't built on last-minute hustle—it's built on calm, clarity, and controlled energy. Drawing from his preparation for a 50K ultra trail run, Baylor explains why mental rehearsal is just as important as physical reps. He reveals how visualization, recovery, and contingency planning give you an edge when the real moment arrives—and why being “unproductive” the day before is actually one of the most productive things you can do. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the day before is often harder than the event itself How to use calm and stillness as peak preparation tools The neuroscience behind visualization and mental reps Why your mind can't tell the difference between imagined and real practice How to create a contingency mindset that keeps you ready for anything Featured Quote: "When you visualize it vividly enough, your mind counts it as a rep. So when the big moment comes, it's not the first time you've done it—it's just the first time others see it."

Nighttime can stir up unease. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, when the world quiets down, our minds can fill with fears and worries that daylight had kept at bay. In Psalm 91, the writer paints a vivid picture of God’s protective care—His wings stretched wide, sheltering His children in a place of warmth and safety. It’s a comforting image for anyone who lies awake, anxious about what might come. Amanda Idleman reminds us that we can rest securely beneath those wings. God’s faithfulness is not fragile or fleeting; it’s our shield and rampart, our steady defense when darkness falls. His promise is clear—He sends His angels to guard us, He hears our cries for help, and He delivers us from fear and danger. Amanda shares from her own story of witnessing God’s protection and redemption in her family’s life. Through foster care and adoption, she has seen how God covers His children—restoring what was broken, protecting the vulnerable, and bringing light into the darkest places. That same care and covering are available to all who call on His name. When the night feels heavy, and fears start to whisper, remember that God’s light is greater than any darkness. He never leaves, never sleeps, and never abandons His people. You are safe beneath His wings. Today's Bible Reading: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." – Psalm 91:4 Key Takeaways God’s protection is constant—He covers us with His wings and surrounds us with His angels (Psalm 91). His faithfulness is our shield and peace in the darkest hours. When we feel fear rise at night, we can declare His promises and rest in His presence. The same God who redeems broken stories guards your heart and home. Let’s Pray Together God, thank You for being my protector and refuge. When night falls and my thoughts turn anxious, remind me that I am safe under Your wings. Calm my heart and fill my home with Your peace. Let Your faithfulness be my shield, and Your angels stand guard around me and my loved ones. Thank You that darkness never has the final word—You are my light and salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
