Do this before bed to calm your nervous system, support your vagus nerve, and drift into deep, healing sleep. This gentle vagus nerve reset meditation is designed to help you shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest using slow breathing, soft sighs, self-compassion, and a tender full-body scan. You're invited to arrive exactly as you are—busy-minded, tired, or tender-hearted—and be reminded again and again: you are safe, you are held, you are okay as you are. In this sleep meditation you will: - Use slow, rhythmic breathing and soft sighs to send a message of safety through your whole system - Explore a somatic hug and soothing (or imagined) self-touch to gently tone the vagus nerve - Experience a warm, tender body scan with visualization, from the crown of the head all the way to sleepy toes - Ground into three points of support beneath you and feel fully held and supported - Practice kindness, acceptance, and letting go of attachment and expectations - Rest into healing affirmations such as: - I am safe to rest - My body is heard - My body's natural healing is active now - rest deeply now This practice is ideal as a bedtime meditation, sleep hypnosis style relaxation, or a nervous system reset at the end of a long day. Listen lying down or seated, let the ground meet you where you are, and allow your body to remember how to rest, repair, and heal. If your mind wanders, that's perfectly okay. Thoughts can simply float by—like leaves on a slow stream—as you are gently guided back to your breath, your body, and the steady support beneath you.

The Letters I Never Expected to Receive Some creative works quietly continue long after we've finished making them. In this episode of Poetic Resurrection, I reflect on the unexpected journey of one of my most meaningful Insight Timer meditations—a meditation on grief that continues to reach listeners during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Through the messages I've received over the years, I've come to realize that we rarely know which poem, prayer, or quiet offering will become someone else's source of comfort. Creativity has a way of traveling farther than we ever imagine. If today's conversation speaks to you, I've included links to the original Insight Timer meditation, which features my poem "Bound" and a closing prayer of affirmations, as well as the Poetic Resurrection episode where I read the poem and discuss its meaning. Thank you for listening. Many blessings.

Anika sat down with Katie Krimitsos to explore one of the most counterintuitive business pivots in podcasting history. The conversation revealed the realities of walking away from a successful coaching business to launch the Women's Meditation Network, the process of recognizing the difference between intuition and fear, and how she scaled one podcast into a massive 24-show network. Katie's journey offers a masterclass in alignment, strategic audience building, and honoring your creative evolution while prioritizing family.In This EpisodeThe origins of Biz Women Rock and the power of being a first-mover in the podcast spaceThe terrifying moment intuition told Katie to walk away from her first six-figure yearWhy the most powerful business strategy is distinguishing between your true "voice" and the "noise"The messy, 18-month transition of running two businesses while raising a toddler and a newbornHow to utilize paid ads, app features, and cross-promotions to guarantee podcast growthThe strategy behind building a 24-show network and why not every podcast has to be a massive moneymakerLicensing content, internal product building, and creating a robust, high-converting funnelWhy creative expression—not just profit—must remain the driving force of your workTimestamps00:00 Introduction: The counterintuitive pivot to a 170-million listen empire 01:14 Discovering the power of podcasting in 2013 and launching Biz Women Rock 05:36 The defining moment of intuition: Walking away from a six-figure business 10:30 Launching the Women's Meditation Network and recognizing the open market gap 14:41 How to separate the true voice of intuition from the noise of ego 22:05 Tactical podcast growth: Using paid ads on smaller podcast apps 26:28 The power of cross-promotions and episode swaps for audience sharing28:39 Expanding from one show to a 24-podcast network 38:08 Internal product building and licensing content to third-party apps 46:28 The mind-body-soul connection and finding new creative fulfillment 51:43 Favorite mantra: Why "It's all a game" is the best mindset for successKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: True Intuition Requires Stillness and Practice The voice of intuition is often drowned out by the "noise" of ego, fear, and external expectations. Katie emphasizes that distinguishing between the two requires daily practice in small things—like listening to what your body actually wants to eat—so you can trust the voice when it asks you to make massive business pivots.Insight 2: Strategic Investment is Necessary for Scale While organic growth is important, Katie actively invested in paid advertisements on smaller podcast apps to acquire listeners at a defined cost-per-subscriber. She also leveraged cross-promotions and episode swaps with complementary shows (like sleep podcasts) to consistently bring in highly targeted new listeners.Insight 3: The Network Model Allows for Niche Experimentation Building a 24-show network means that not every podcast has to carry the financial weight of the business. Massive shows (like Sleep Meditation for Women) generate the primary revenue, which affords Katie the freedom to launch highly-niched shows (like Meditation for Panic Attacks or Meditation for Kids) that serve smaller, specific audiences without financial stress.Insight 4: Your Product Can Be Monetized in Multiple Ways Katie recognized early on that her meditations (the MP3/MP4 files) were the actual products. Instead of relying solely on podcast advertising (CPM), she distributes and licenses her content to third-party apps (like Insight Timer and Aura), creating multiple, passive revenue streams from the exact same content.Insight 5: Creative Expression is the Ultimate Driver of Business A business can be highly profitable, but if the founder feels "gray" or "blah," it's often a sign of suppressed creativity. Katie highlights the importance of continually evolving the business—such as incorporating physical well-being into her mind-soul offerings—to ensure the work remains fulfilling and energetically aligned.Resources & Links MentionedWomen's Meditation NetworkMeditate to Magic CourseAbout Katie KrimitsosKatie Krimitsos is the founder and CEO of the Women's Meditation Network, a massive media empire that has garnered over 170 million listens. A pioneer in the podcasting space, she previously hosted the successful Biz Women Rock podcast before making a radical pivot in 2018 to follow her intuition into the meditation space. Today, she manages a network of 24 distinct meditation podcasts while prioritizing time freedom and raising her two daughters.Connect with Katie KrimitsosWebsite: https://womensmeditationnetwork.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiekrimitsos/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womensmeditationnetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/womensmeditationnetworkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dear People. Due to Spotify changing its algorithm and Insight Timer changing the way they support meditation teachers, I will only be posting clips of longer, free meditations that you can find in full on Insight Timer. This helps support the time, effort, and devotion put into creating these pieces, without the use of social media or advertising. I truly love the deeper conversations that come from these pieces, and if you want to step closer, you are always welcome to become a member of my Substack. Over the years, I have desperately wanted to simplify my life and my offerings so only what is true and full of heart remains. Thank you for your support, and the way your presence shapes my own life. In deepest regard, Sez_____About this episode...We are about to discover, through direct experience, what emptiness feels like. Not as a concept that can further dissociate us from our bodies. Not as a spiritual claim that self or no-self is the final truth. But by going beyond both, we can touch the heart of emptiness as an undeniable, lived experience.My own exploration of emptiness has profoundly changed the place from which I live my life. It has transformed what once felt like complete isolation from the world and from others. But I also wandered into extreme views that became just more concepts to uphold.I feel these teachings can easily become disembodied from our humanity, so I'd love to offer an alternative: a gentle, nature-based journey that reveals emptiness not as something fearful, dull, or void, but as something deeply alive and intimately woven into our experience.The field sounds were recorded at Kårup Skov. I'd love to hear how this lands with you.Listen to the episode for free, and in full here.Support the showFor guided courses, full episodes, meditations and access to extended versions of my sleep journeys, please go to Insight Timer. Every Thursday, I send out unpublished poems & audio essays to help us embody our felt sense of wholeness through nonduality, nature, and self-inquiry on my Substack. You can also find supportive courses on my website or grab a book for your journey onwards on Amazon.  ✨

From overthinking to a deep, grounded calm, this soothing bedtime meditation is designed to support you even on your "bad" days. You'll be gently guided to soften your body, calm your nervous system, and shift from rumination into anchored presence so you can drift toward rest. We begin by arriving in the present moment, acknowledging how you truly feel, and inviting in kindness instead of self‑criticism. From there, you're guided through grounding breath, gentle visualizations, body awareness, and empowering affirmations to help you remember that you can begin again from right here, right now. This practice is ideal for: - Nights when your mind is racing and you can't switch off - Evenings after a hard or emotionally full day - Times when you feel stuck in old stories or self‑doubt - An ongoing bedtime ritual for nervous system regulation and emotional reset Inside this meditation you'll experience: - Calming breath and grounding imagery - Gentle nervous system soothing and emotional validation - A relaxing body scan to ease tension from head to toe - Supportive, empowering affirmations for self‑trust and resilience - Space to release the day and rest in "good enough" rather than perfection You are welcome exactly as you are here. There is nothing you need to fix to deserve rest. May this meditation be a soft place to land, especially on the nights that feel messy, loud, or "too much."

After taking a pause since October 2, 2025, I am coming back with a renewed vision, deeper alignment, intentionality, and special guests. This isn't just a comeback; it's the evolution of the podcast, and the launch of a whole new chapter.In this episode, I'm joined by my bestie, Arion Castillo, published author of “The Big Energy Planner” and founder of Another Me LLC (virtual assistance, business systems & process specialist). We sit down on the couch for a real, unfiltered conversation on what it actually takes to stop burning out, reclaim your energy, and THRIVE.

What if the anxiety you feel about dating again isn't a sign you weren't meant to date, but an invitation to understand yourself more deeply?Like many women over 50, you've built a successful career or raised and launched your children, done the therapy, read the self-help books, and created a meaningful life after divorce — and you still question your intuition when someone new shows up. You don't want to be alone, but you keep attracting the wrong guys and repeating the same relationship patterns.Dating after divorce isn't just about finding someone you're attracted to. It's about learning to recognize relationship compatibility, understanding the difference between chemistry and emotional safety, and knowing whether your body is responding to a real red flag or an old attachment wound asking for attention. That's why nervous system regulation and self-awareness matter just as much as finding the right partner.As a certified somatic experiencing practitioner and coach, and someone who's spent the last eight years navigating dating relationships myself, I'm sharing the lessons that changed what I look for in a partner — the qualities that helped me move beyond chemistry toward a relationship built on honesty, growth, and genuine connection.In this episode, I'll share:The 9 green flags not everyone is talking aboutWhat a healthy relationship is actually built on outside of attraction and chemistryHow to tell the difference between a warning sign and an attachment wound that needs healingWhy financial alignment, shared values, and emotional maturity matter more in midlife than most people realizeWhat relationship green flags look like once early-dating excitement settlesWhy secure attachment isn't about finding the perfect partner — it's learning to create safety within yourself and with someone elseWhy conflict repair is the #1 predictor of long-term compatibilityHow laughter, generosity, and accountability build deeper intimacyHow honest conversations about your past, fears, and intimacy strengthen connection instead of creating distanceFinding love in midlife isn't about getting lucky. It's about getting clear on what truly matters, trusting yourself enough to wait for it, and choosing someone who makes you feel loved.Much love and freedom,LaurieClick here to purchase my “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” it's $29.99Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE “Girlfriends Guide to Online Dating”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseResources Mentioned in this episode:Click here to join me on Insight Timer for somatic healing practices and guided meditations. Somatic Touch Sessions - Click here to book an inquiry call if you're in Los Angeles.OKCupid Article Connect with me:WebsiteInstagramEpisodes MentionedDating in Midlife Series - 8 Signs You're Ready to Date and Fall in Love Again in MidlifeOvercome Your Midlife Dating Fears: 8 Tips You Can't Miss5 Tips to Make Dating Over 50 Fun Again with Carolyn Lee ArnoldWhy Self-Love And Setting Boundaries Are Important for Succesfully Dating in MidlifeOther Dating PodcastsOvercome Common Dating Challenges and Achieve Emotional Connection with Bernardo MendezHow to Feel Confident and Find a Healthy Relationship Dating in MidlifeFinancial Alignment - How to Build Financial Security and Confidence with Jennifer LeeIntimacy in Midlife - How Safe Hormone Therapy and Vaginal Health Can Close The Bedroom Gap with Dr. Maria SophoclesPlease leave me feedback.

Today's voice note is a quick riff. If you've ever missed an older version of yourself, the bubblier one, the funnier one, the one who was always on, this episode is for you. I'm getting into why that version of you existed in the first place, what actually happens to our personas as we heal, and the moments when that playful side still shows up (hint: it has everything to do with who makes you feel safe). Plus the inner child piece that ties it all together.If this hits, my shadow work meditation for self-worth is free on Insight Timer.Tell me in the comments or DM me on IG: which version of you do you miss the most?Topics we discuss: grieving your old self, identity shifts, masking, personas, people pleasing, inner child healing, shadow work, self-worth, nervous system regulation, feeling safe to be yourself, authenticity, self-expressionTikTok: ⁠@iam.alexischristine⁠Instagram: ⁠@iam.alexischristine⁠Explore more:

What happens when something is so vast, beautiful or mysterious that the mind has to widen in order to take it in?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the science and neurodivergent nuance of awe - the emotion that can arrive through nature, music, art, human kindness, big ideas, collective experience and the smallest details of ordinary life.Inspired by Dr Dacher Keltner's conversation with Dr Andrew Huberman, Ashley looks at how awe can shift our sense of scale, loosen the grip of habitual thinking and place our current problems inside a much wider landscape.She also explores how sensory sensitivity can make awe feel especially vivid for neurodivergent people - while also meaning that the doorway into awe needs to feel safe.Ashley shares a remarkable experience from her recovery after surgery, when waves of frisson - tingling, goosebumps and a heightened sense of being moved - began arriving several times a day during a noticeable period of healing.The episode closes with An Imaginal Awe Walk, beginning with a single leaf and gradually widening to the tree, the landscape, the Earth and the universe beyond it.Because awe does not always require a mountaintop.Sometimes it begins with something we might otherwise have walked straight past.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also developing her From Mask to Map group coaching cohort beginning in September.

The Devil's Castle: Nazi Eugenics, Euthanasia, and How Psychiatry's Troubled History Reverberates Today (Catapult, 2025) delves into the forgotten history of eugenics and links it to present-day psychiatry to explain how we as a culture continue to get mind care so wrong. In The Devil's Castle, Susanne Paola Antonetta weaves a haunting narrative that confronts the darkest chapters of psychiatric history while offering a bold vision for the future of mental health care. In 1939, the eugenics movement growing throughout the West did its worst in Nazi Germany. Through the Aktion T4 euthanasia program, five asylums and an abandoned jail were transformed into gas chambers. Tens of thousands of lives—predominantly adults with neuropsychiatric conditions—were extinguished in those structures, ultimately paving the way for the horrors of the Holocaust.  Interlacing her experiences of psychosis with the complex history of psychiatry, Antonetta sheds light on the intersections of madness and societal perceptions of mental difference. She brings to life the stories of Paul Schreber and Dorothea Buck, two historical figures who act as models for mind care and acceptance. This gripping exploration traverses the spectrum of neurodiversity, from the devastating consequences of dehumanization to the transformative potential of understanding and acceptance.  With The Devil's Castle, Antonetta not only unearths the failures of our past, but also envisions a more compassionate, enlightened approach to consciousness and mental health care. This is a story of tragedy, resilience, and hope—a rallying cry for change that dares to challenge the limits of how we define and support the human mind. Susanne Paola Antonetta is the author of The Devil's Castle: Eugenics, Nazi Euthanasia, and How Psychiatry's Troubled History Hurts Us Now. She is also the author of The Terrible Unlikelihood of Our Being Here, Make Me a Mother, Entangled Objects, Body Toxic, A Mind Apart, and four books of poetry. Her awards include a New York Times Notable Book, an American Book Award, an Amazon Best Memoir of the Year award, and others.

This is a small clip from a community letter I write every week for members on Substack. I talk about being a very sensitive person, who feels the world's pain incredibly deeply, but how self-realization can change our relationship with helplessness, making it a communal grief rather than a personal identity. We can feel helpless without becoming a hopeless person - action from feeling rather than a separate self is more loving, compassionate and supportive for a world that is no different than our own skin. You can listen to intimate reflections on coming home to ourselves and the rest of this post here: https://sezkristiansen.substack.com/Or listen to poetry and meditation on Insight Timer:https://insighttimer.com/sezSupport the showFor guided courses, full episodes, meditations and access to extended versions of my sleep journeys, please go to Insight Timer. Every Thursday, I send out unpublished poems & audio essays to help us embody our felt sense of wholeness through nonduality, nature, and self-inquiry on my Substack. You can also find supportive courses on my website or grab a book for your journey onwards on Amazon.  ✨

What if the difficult person, the repeated pattern, or the weight you keep carrying is not only a burden - but also a teacher?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the phrase “He Ain't Heavy, He's My Buddha” - a playful twist on a familiar phrase that emerged from an ordinary pub conversation and opened up a deeper reflection on love, responsibility, meaning, boundaries and the hidden teachings inside life's challenges..Drawing on the teachings of Ram Dass, the Buddhist story of the Two Monks at the river, nervous-system regulation, neurodivergent masking and the From Mask to Map framework, this episode asks:*Is this mine to carry, mine to support, or mine to witness?*Ashley explores why relationships and responsibilities can feel especially heavy for neurodivergent people - not only because of the person or situation itself, but because of the interpretive work involved: decoding unspoken expectations, monitoring tone and body language, absorbing emotional atmospheres, replaying conversations, masking while caring, and trying to work out what was meant rather than what was said.This episode also looks at how challenges can become information rather than evidence of failure. A meltdown, a trigger, a conflict, a repeated pattern or a moment of overwhelm may reveal a boundary, a sensory need, an old role, a place of exhaustion, or a part of ourselves asking for care.Without spiritualising harm or glorifying suffering, Ashley invites a more nuanced question:Where is the Buddha in this?The episode closes with The Path, the Pack and the Teacher, a guided practice for exploring what you are carrying, what may not be yours, and what wisdom might be ready to travel forward with you.Mindful Mondays is part of The Neurodivergent Experience on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.Find Ashley's longer meditations, Yoga Nidras and Bedtime Alchemy stories on Insight Timer by searching Ashley Dupuy.Ashley is also putting together the particulars of her From Mask to Map coaching cohort beginning in September.

Highly sensitive people often find it difficult to let go of conversations, criticism, conflict, disappointment, mistakes, or emotionally intense experiences. Even when the situation is technically over, your mind may keep replaying what happened, and your nervous system may still feel activated.If you've ever wondered why you can't “just get over it,” this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface.For highly sensitive people, letting go is not simply a mental decision. Because sensitive nervous systems process deeply, emotionally significant experiences may stay active in the body and mind long after they've ended. What looks like overthinking, rumination, or holding on may actually be your nervous system trying to find resolution, safety, or completion.In this episode, we explore why highly sensitive people stay engaged with experiences longer than they want to, why unfinished emotional loops can keep the nervous system activated, and what your body may need in order to truly move forward.You'll learn:• why “just let it go” is rarely helpful advice for highly sensitive people• how deep processing affects emotional recovery• why the nervous system can stay engaged after a stressful experience is over• how unfinished loops contribute to overthinking and rumination• why stress cycles need completion• what helps sensitive nervous systems feel supported, settled, and safe enough to releaseThis episode is especially supportive if you struggle with overthinking, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, rumination, people-pleasing, nervous system dysregulation, or feeling like you stay affected by things longer than other people seem to.If you'd like a supportive space to practice nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and self-trust in community, I'd love to invite you to explore my Rooted Resilience Membership Circle.Rooted Resilience is a gentle membership community for highly sensitive people who want to calm anxiety, regulate their nervous systems, build resilience, and come home to themselves through live gatherings, guided practices, and ongoing support.Learn more here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1Yoga Nidra for Highly Sensitive People: Burnout Recovery:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-highly-sensitive-people-burnout-recoveryNew to the podcast?

After 150 conversations with meditation teachers, neuroscientists, spiritual leaders, therapists, healers, and everyday people whose lives have been transformed through meditation, I wanted to pause and reflect.This is my first solo episode in a long time—and perhaps my most personal one yet.This episode is less about meditation and more about what meditation has taught me about being human.If you've ever questioned your path, wondered whether you're on the right track, or felt like life was only giving you one breadcrumb at a time, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not behind.Perhaps you're exactly where you need to be.Thank you for being part of these first 150 episodes.Here's to the next chapter!—If this episode resonated with you, I would be so grateful if you shared it with someone who might need it, left a review, or subscribed to the podcast. Your support helps more people discover these conversations and keeps this mission growing.Ways to connect with Masako:Let's meditate together on InsightTimer!Why not meditate?

Tonight, we come to the last two chapters of The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder. After so many long, cold nights together, we finally arrive at the thaw... the return of light, warmth, and relief after the hardest season the Ingalls family has faced.It has been such a comfort to share this story with you, night after night, as the snow piled high outside our little window of imagination. Thank you for letting me be part of your bedtime, and for drifting off alongside Laura and her family through every storm.Settle in, get cozy, and let's close out this story together, one last time.Sweet dreams, Joanne
