Waking Up at 3am — Anxiety Relief to Get You Back to Sleep | Extended Exhale Breathing Waking up at 3am with anxiety is one of the loneliest experiences there is — your eyes open on their own, your heart is faster than it should be for someone lying perfectly still, and your mind has already found the one unfinished thought it saved up especially for now. This 10-minute guided meditation is built for exactly that hour. Martin explains why it happens: there is a small, ordinary rise in cortisol in the early hours meant to get your body ready for morning, and when you're anxious that rise arrives a little louder and wakes you. It isn't a warning. It isn't a sign. It's chemistry arriving early. From there the session uses extended exhale breathing — a gentle breath in, a brief pause, and an out-breath always longer than the in — because breathing out directly, mechanically slows your heart rate. It's the simplest somatic tool there is, and the one that works best lying down in the dark, when you don't want to count hard or hold anything. A warm light at the centre of the chest, gentle affirmations for sleep anxiety and insomnia relief, and three practical caring tips follow. If you drift off partway through, that's the point — let the voice fade. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett.  ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – Cold open: awake at three in the morning* 00:39 – Why you wake: the early-hours cortisol rise* 01:23 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin* 01:39 – Anchored: the nightlight and offline sleep sessions* 02:24 – Settling: letting the pillow take the weight* 03:36 – Extended exhale breathing: the science* 04:17 – Guided rounds: longer out than in* 05:37 – A warm light at the centre of your chest* 06:08 – Tonight's gentle affirmations* 08:19 – Drifting off, or coming gently back* 09:01 – Your three daily caring tips* 09:43 – Closing thoughts and sign-off  

What If You're Not Starting Over, But Waking Up?Midlife Reinvention, Courage & Trust with Elizabeth ElfenbeinWhat if the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels like the life you're meant to live?For Elizabeth Elfenbein, founder of Under the Sisterhood, reinvention didn't begin with a perfectly mapped-out next chapter. It began with an unraveling.After decades of success in advertising, Elizabeth made the courageous decision to leave behind both a career and a marriage that had defined so much of her life. She describes it as jumping off the mountain without knowing where she would land.What followed wasn't simply starting over.It was an awakening.In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Elizabeth and I explore what happens when we stop looking outside ourselves for answers and begin listening to the voice within. We talk about uncertainty, courage, identity, trusting your gut, and why sometimes the things that unravel us create the space we need to discover who we are.Elizabeth also shares how her own desire to reclaim her voice became the spark for Under the Sisterhood, a global storytelling platform dedicated to ensuring that women's lived experiences are seen, heard, valued, and documented.And now that mission is expanding in an exciting new way through the Under the Sisterhood documentary, which premiered this week in New York City. I had the incredible privilege of being part of the film and celebrating its premiere alongside Elizabeth and an inspiring community of women.✨ In this episode, we explore:

What happens when the life you built starts crushing you and you finally decide you can't live that way anymore?I was stuck in a situation I desperately wanted out of, and the process of getting out was making me lose my mind. We had been looking for a house for so long, and every month we stayed in the city felt heavier. I knew I needed a change, but I couldn't just snap my fingers and make it happen.This is about that weird, frustrating period of feeling completely trapped in a life that wasn't working for me anymore, and how getting to the other side of it changed me more than I expected. The city was crushing me, the house search was driving me insane, and I was ready for something to finally give.Follow Madison: @madisoncicconeWork with Madison 1 x1: heymaddz@gmail.comMadison's Website: https://madisonciccone.com/Buy the Gratitude Journal on Amazon PrimeRide with her at SoulCycle in Boston

Wendy Valentine — author of Women Waking Up: The Midlife Manifesto for Passion, Purpose, and Play and host of the Midlife Makeover Show — joins Heather for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about rebuilding a life from the ground up. At 45, Wendy hit a full-on midlife meltdown: divorce, job loss, over $150K in debt, an empty nest, chronic illness, and the deaths of her dog, cat, and brother — all within weeks of each other. Instead of staying stuck, she chased a long-held dream of RVing across the country and completely reconstructed her life within two years. In this episode, Wendy and Heather dig into what it really means to "lean into your destiny," why midlife often feels less like a crisis and more like a coma we need to wake up from, how to grieve fully instead of stuffing it down, the "lotus effect" and being in the mud without being of it, and how to become your own best friend by rewiring the stories running through your head. It's a conversation about permission — to feel, to grieve, to change, and to finally show up for yourself.

If bedtime in your house feels like a nightly negotiation, or you're the one lying in the dark at 2 a.m. wondering why nothing seems to work, this conversation is for you. Pediatric sleep consultant Allison Ezell spent years stuck between a sleep doctor telling her to sleep train and a TBRI therapist affirming the trauma-informed parenting she knew her son needed, unable to find anyone who could bridge the two. She eventually became the person she needed, and she's bringing that hard-won wisdom to us today. What We Cover in This Episode The two building blocks of sleep science, sleep associations and sleep pressure, and why understanding sleep associations alone resolves most of the sleep struggles Allison sees. The difference between "putting a child to sleep" and "putting a child to bed," and why that distinction matters most for kids who wake in the middle of the night. A practical bedtime routine built around what a body actually needs to fall asleep: sensory input earlier in the evening, a warm bath or shower, real connection, and a small snack. How to build felt safety around bedtime fears through repeated, low-pressure exposure, and a gradual pullback method for weaning off sleep associations without a jarring overnight switch. A consistent, scripted response for middle-of-the-night wake-ups, plus the red flags (frequent waking, restless legs, long sleep onset, excessive daytime sleepiness) that mean it's time to talk to a doctor.

Carrie is back from her birthday weekend and Meg has the receipts: a TikTok margarita built on Chick-fil-A lemonade and a whole bottle of coconut tequila (Meg paid for that one), a five pound catfish hauled out of the backyard pond, and the glorious return of Chili's skillet queso, because the petition worked, y'all. Then Sunday morning happened. The girls woke up to the news that Hayden Panettiere had died at 36, five days shy of her birthday. Meg and Carrie get into the interview from a few months back that felt off, what Hollywood does to kids who grow up on set, the on again off again ex who did 45 days, and the 2018 decision to give up her parental rights that Carrie calls trauma stacked on trauma. It turns personal when Carrie talks about her own family and the hard truth: that you cannot force anybody into help they aren't asking for. They land it somewhere softer with Nashville binge plans and kids who beg for shark movies and then refuse to sleep alone.   Come for the queso, stay for the conversation.   Chapters: 00:00 Happy Got HER Back Monday 00:30 The TikTok Margarita That Took Meg Down 01:30 Skillet Queso Is Back and We Take Credit 01:55 Five Pound Catfish, One Broken Nail 04:15 Waking Up to the Hayden Panettiere News 04:55 Child Stars and Hollywood's Playground 06:15 The 911 Call and What We Still Don't Know 07:00 The Ex, the Jail Time and the Trauma Bond 08:50 Agoraphobia, the Boat Story and Her Book 11:00 All That Money and Nobody to Manage It 13:30 Giving Up Her Parental Rights in 2018 15:15 Back to School and Carrie Turns 45 16:15 The Pattern Nobody Wants to Talk About 19:30 Who Thought That Interview Was a Good Idea? 20:30 Postpartum, Shame and the Snowball 21:00 You Can't Force Anybody to Get Help 22:00 The First Step and the Scarlet Letter 23:15 Nashville, Sharks and Scaredy Cat Kids 24:45 Thanks for Hanging With Us

There are countless ways in which we can feel inwardly divided or somehow alienated from our true self. Case 35 of the Mumonkan, or Gateless Gate koan collection addresses this matter with a pointed question about Seijo, the character in a traditional Chinese story who ends up living parallel lives. The koan asks, "Which one is the true Seijo?" Naturally, the answer is "Both… and neither."

Feel like you’re falling apart in midlife? You’ve probably told yourself the fog, fatigue, and sudden tears you’re experiencing are signs that something’s wrong with you. Karen Herrera disagrees, saying they’re signs that something’s finally right. For women navigating perimenopause, empty-nesting, or simply the sense that they’ve outgrown a life that used to fit, this conversation offers a different lens on midlife. I sit down with Karen Herrera, author of Perimenopause Clarity, to discuss why the hormonal and emotional shifts of this season aren’t a malfunction; they’re an invitation to recalibrate around what actually matters. Karen shares her own perimenopause journey, the unexpected job loss that pushed her to finally write her book, and practical guidance on advocating for yourself medically, trusting your intuition, and rebuilding community after the kids leave home. You’ll walk away with permission to stop fearing this transition and start using it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why midlife hormonal shifts can act as a catalyst for creative reconstruction instead of a crisis to survive How to tell the difference between a hormonal wave and a deeper question your higher self is asking you to sit with Why perimenopause can start far earlier than most women expect, and how to advocate for the right testing and support Simple ways to reconnect with what lit you up before career, kids, and other people’s expectations took over Why taking any small action beats waiting around for clarity to arrive on its own About My Guest Karen Herrera is the author of “Perimenopause Clarity,” a warm, witty guide born from her own search for answers during midlife upheaval. After being unexpectedly laid off from a corporate job, Karen turned a personal essay into the resource she wished she’d had — blending her own story with research-backed guidance on diet, herbs, adaptogens, and emotional and sexual wellness during perimenopause and menopause.

If you're waking up at 3 a.m., drenched in sweat, staring at the ceiling with a racing mind, or feeling exhausted even after eight hours in bed, you're not imagining it—and you're definitely not alone. In this episode, we take a deep dive into why perimenopause and menopause can turn once-reliable sleep into a nightly battle. We'll explore how declining estrogen and progesterone affect your brain, body temperature, melatonin, stress response, and even your ability to stay asleep.But insomnia isn't the only sleep problem women need to watch for. We'll uncover some of the often-overlooked reasons you may be sleeping poorly during midlife—including hot flashes, sleep apnea, restless legs, and thyroid dysfunction. You'll learn why menopause can leave your brain feeling like it simply “won't shut off,” why sleep apnea risk rises after menopause, and which warning signs suggest it's time to look beyond typical menopausal fatigue.Most importantly, this episode is about solutions. From hormone therapy and non-hormonal medications to CBT-I, soy isoflavones, exercise, and practical sleep strategies, we'll explore the evidence-based options that can help you reclaim restorative sleep. Because sleepless nights don't have to become your new normal—menopausal sleep disruption has identifiable causes and is treatable. 

Shincheonji recruits through what looks like an ordinary Bible study, and most people who walk through the door have no idea that it is a destructive cult. Chris Vishoot found out only after three and a half years as a devoted member. In 2018, a woman he met on a dating app invited him to what she called an innocent class on scripture. Within a year he was driving an hour each way to an unmarked building in Seattle, sleeping three to four hours a night, and reporting on Bible study students he had once sat beside as a recruit himself. Chris grew up in a Christian household that expected the world to end at any moment. He graduated from the University of Washington with two engineering degrees, and by his mid-twenties he found himself asking a familiar question: is this all there is to life? Two friends had died young, and Chris, an agnostic at the time, was searching for something bigger. That search is exactly what recruiters for the group are trained to find and use. Chris is now one of the more credible Christian ex-Shincheonji voices in the country. He runs Bible Vaccine Center, helps moderate the r/shincheonji subreddit for former members, and works with pastors whose congregations have been infiltrated by recruiters posing as ordinary Christians. In this internationally criticized group, we talked about how he got in, how he got out, and why he now helps other people leave the same group. Learn more about your ad choices.

Who could believe a blue-tongued lizard can teach you how to be a good human being? Professor Anne Poelina can, and by the end of this episode you might too.For International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we're re-playing Anne's Carlton Herman Memorial Lecture from the 2024 WDA conference in Canberra. A Nyikina Warrwa woman, scientist, filmmaker and poet, Anne is the inaugural chair of the Martuwarra Fitzroy River Council in Western Australia's Kimberley, and she has spent decades arguing that you cannot separate land, water, people and non-human kin.Her talk, "Waking Up the Snake", is about waking up consciousness: why the Whanganui's legal personhood puzzled her elders, why the destruction of habitat to create a "nature repair market" makes no sense, and why the wildlife health community, already practised at caring for things that can't speak for themselves, might be exactly the audience she needs. Ancient wisdom, hard politics, and a stubborn coalition of hope.LinksCheck out Anne Poelina's website.We'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

Learn how to JournalSpeak⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Jonah Primo, host of the in-app podcast Work in Progress on the WAKING UP app contacted us, Lisa and I were elated. We are long time fans of WAKING UP and its founder, neuroscientist Sam Harris, and we were enthusiastic about sharing space with such a like-minded person. But that was just the beginning. Jonah's own pain story was stunning, and we quickly jumped on the chance to have him on our podcast to tell his tale of complete despair to recovery using the mindset and tools of MindBody medicine. After being a totally healthy and athletic 27-year-old, Jonah found himself so swallowed by a laundry list of symptoms that he quite literally struggled to walk. As he became skeptical of the medical model to cure his pain, he turned in our direction, and the rest is history.

We are continuing our investigation into the implications of the Economic Singularity, the time when we need a new economic system because full automation by AI means people can no longer obtain the resources they need by doing jobs.Our guest today is Oliver Ritchie, the UK Policy Lead at the Future of Life Institute. Previously, he was a Senior Fellow at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy, and a Research Scholar at GovAI. He also spent over six years in policy formation at the Treasury, which is where many of the brightest minds in UK public sector work, and where the really big decisions are made, because the Treasury hold the purse strings.We wanted to have Oliver on the show because he has written two thought-provoking articles on the Economic Singularity, a paper called “The Fiscal Challenge of Advanced AI”, and a Substack post which summarises it, called “Can we afford to support workers whose jobs are displaced by AI?” Selected follow-ups:"Oliver Ritchie" - Future of Life Institute"Return on Intelligence" - Oliver's Substack"Can we afford to support workers whose jobs are displaced by AI?"  - Substack article by Oliver"The Fiscal Challenge Of Advanced AI" (PDF) - article by Oliver"The case for G20 coordination on wealth taxes" - article by Liam Byrne"US super-rich 'pay almost no income tax'" - BBC"Trump to meet AI leaders to discuss US investment in their companies" - BBC"Getting Ahead of AI's Economic Disruption" - Windfall Trust"AI's Role in Reshaping Power Distribution" - Future of Life Institute project"Can you safely build something that may kill you?"

The boys are known for their sketches, so this week we're bringing back some of their most beloved characters. From the real estate agent to the football coach and a baby, we throw them into increasingly ridiculous scenarios to see just how long they can stay in character. The boys then get on a listener, Chucky, to share a rattled story about waking up after a big night with a toddler screaming at her unsure where she is. Plus, in the DMs: a hookup that somehow resulted in a three-minute voicemail, first date jitters, and being caught in a lie in real time.

Matt and Jason sat down with free speech activist, satirist, and legal warrior Michael Picard, widely known as the creator behind the popular YouTube channel Professional Douche. Emerging from a conservative background before embracing libertarian philosophy through Ron Paul, Picard transformed his worldview into a relentless crusade against state overreach and constitutional violations. Over the last decade, he has become a staple in the liberty movement—flexing his First Amendment rights, recording police misconduct, winning landmark civil rights lawsuits against corrupt law enforcement, and using world-class satire to challenge political dogmatism across the entire political spectrum. The conversation dives deep into the philosophy of satire as a weapon against state authority and the rigid absurdity of the two-party paradigm. From hiding under tables to confront politicians like Matt Gaetz to infiltrating partisan rallies with extreme caricatures of partisan ideologies, the dialogue highlights how satirical mirroring disarms crowds and exposes deep-seated authoritarianism. The discussion reflects on Picard's most legendary encounters, including the infamous 2015 Connecticut State Police incident where officers illegally seized his camera—unaware it was still running—and caught themselves on tape actively plotting to fabricate criminal charges against him. The conversation also explores the impact of citizen journalism, the shield of qualified immunity in the judicial system, the rise of the First Amendment auditing movement, and how police routinely react when citizens stand up for their constitutional rights. In the final portion of the episode, the focus shifts to actionable inspiration for everyday citizens who feel demoralized or intimidated by the expanding police state. Picard shares the origins of his own resilience, crediting his mother's encouragement to speak out, and offers a grounded "white pill" for listeners looking to cultivate their own resolve. Reclaiming freedom does not require grand gestures right away; confidence is built iteratively through taking that very first step. Whether it is holding up a sign, attending a local rally, or simply hitting record on a smartphone, taking simple, practical action is how individuals unlock their inner strength and spark real accountability in their communities.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 30, 2026. We open with the Texas Senate race — where Democratic nominee James Tallarico released a polished campaign ad called Waking Up, featuring him driving a full-sized Dodge Ram 1500 through Texas oil fields and farm country. There's one problem: it's not his truck. Tallarico drives a Chevrolet Colorado, but its tinted windows made the interior too dark for filming, so his campaign rented the Dodge from a local company. We make the distinction between normal campaign staging and renting a persona — because the entire ad was designed to sell Tallarico as a natural extension of working Texans, and the truck was the centerpiece of that message. We also note that Republicans handed Democrats an opening by nominating Ken Paxton — damaged goods with a messy personal and political record — instead of Wesley Hunt, who would have won this race by a landslide. Texas Republicans got this one wrong. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump's Attorney General nominee Todd Blanch is in limbo after John Cornyn and Thom Tillis signaled they would not support him in the Senate Judiciary Committee — concerned about a proposed fund to compensate victims of political prosecution under Biden, including January 6th defendants, even after Blanch testified under oath the deal was dead. Trump is reportedly considering withdrawing the nomination until both senators leave office in January. Then the federal government demanded Colorado repay $8 million in Medicaid funds after an audit found the state had billed for services totaling more than 24 hours in a single day for the same patients — a mathematical impossibility. Colorado disagrees with the findings. And thousands of military-age North African men breached the border between Morocco and Spain at Ceuta — overwhelming local law enforcement, with at least nine people killed in the chaos. Spain's Supreme Court recently ruled that sea arrivals cannot be deported without due process hearings. Most of Spain's borders are water. We also cover the WNBA's latest self-inflicted embarrassment — the league itself posted and then deleted a video from All-Star Weekend showing Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese apparently agreeing to a $400 bet on the outcome of a game between their own teams. The WNBA's own rulebook explicitly prohibits players from wagering on league games, with penalties ranging from fines to lifetime bans. We ask the obvious question: what are the odds that Angel Reese faces the same consequences Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham would face in the same situation? Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a listener question about the growing number of rules new parents are imposing on grandparents before they can see a newborn — mandatory vaccinations, isolation periods, mask requirements, no kissing — and trace it directly to the damage Anthony Fauci did to medical credibility during COVID. A generation raised on social media sees the exception, not the rule, and draws sweeping conclusions from rare worst-case scenarios. Teri's advice: get the vaccines with 50-year safety records, do your research on the newer ones, and for the love of everything good — let grandparents kiss the babies. We dig into a J7 report — tracking antisemitic violence in the seven countries with the largest Jewish populations outside Israel — which found that 2025 was the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks in the Western world since 1994. There were 23,000 antisemitic attacks in those seven countries last year alone, including 20 murders of Jewish people motivated by hatred of Jews — three in the United States. We trace the rise to mainstream media coverage of Israel's response to October 7th that portrayed military action against a terrorist organization as genocide — providing ideological cover for people who were already antisemitic to act. We also connect it to the intersectionality framework that positions whoever appears most oppressed as the default sympathetic party — a framework that simultaneously claims to support women, gay people, and Palestinians, without reckoning with the fact that none of those three positions are compatible with each other under Hamas governance. For our first Bright Spot, President Trump announced that Middle East mediators — including Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — have reached an agreement on the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, with a phased plan to rebuild Gaza, establish a new Palestinian government, and guarantee Israel's security. We call it what it is: not a ceasefire, not a pause, but a structured plan — and potentially the most significant Middle East development in a generation. For our second Bright Spot, the island nation of Micronesia — 75,000 people spread across 607 islands in the South Pacific — used to charge $65 per megabit per second per month for internet access because the government ran the only internet provider. When the government ended its monopoly and allowed private companies in — including Starlink — the price dropped 99% to 78 cents per megabit and internet access jumped from nearly nothing to 88% of the population. All they did was end the government monopoly. We connect it directly to New York City's government grocery store plan — and suggest Mamdani study Micronesia before he opens his first store. We also cover New York City bodegas allegedly allowing customers to use EBT food stamp cards to purchase kratom — an herbal extract not approved as food, a drug, or a dietary supplement — and potentially THC products. We call it what it is: SNAP trafficking, a federal crime that diverts money intended for nutrition into products that have nothing to do with nutrition. We also note that families of 9/11 victims are asking organizers of the 25th anniversary Ground Zero memorial to bar Mayor Mamdani from attending — citing his political positions, his anti-Semitic endorsements, and his statement during his campaign that the worst thing about 9/11 was that his aunt feared people were looking at her suspiciously. We say that day belongs to the families and to the fallen — and that Mamdani would be a distraction from both. And we close with 73-year-old Dave Whitlow of Richmond, Virginia — who has spent eight years volunteering twice a week at the Children's Hospital of Richmond as a professional cuddler of premature babies. On busy days he holds eight different babies, some weighing less than two pounds, giving them the human contact their developing systems need. As he places each one back into their NICU bed, he tells them the same thing: grow strong, grow smart, grow kind. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Jocko Willink, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, author and host of the Jocko Podcast. We discuss why discipline, rather than motivation, is the reliable driver of daily action, and how taking action is the most effective way to move through adversity, loss and setbacks. We also discuss how exercise generates energy, the leader's role as a counterweight to team morale, and detachment as a trainable skill for widening perspective and making better decisions under stress.

If you've ever flipped off a buddy driving past on the highway, stopped cold when you heard reveille, or felt physically uncomfortable when someone thanked you for your service, you already know what this episode is. Twenty habits from military life that never fully leave you, and that can seriously confuse the civilians around you.

On the Waking Up with Ryan podcast, coach Ryan Weiss explores how the first five minutes of your day can shape everything that follows. Through short daily audio and video episodes (10–12 minutes), he delivers powerful "moments of awakening" designed to interrupt the inertia of fear, ego, and judgment, helping listeners reconnect with themselves before the noise and demands of the day take over. Blending wisdom, meditation, and practical insight, Waking Up with Ryan offers a daily ritual that grounds, inspires, and empowers listeners to move through life with greater intention. More than just a podcast, it is an ongoing exploration of self-discovery, presence, and what it truly means to remember who we are.

Last week, we talked with psychologist Lisa Miller about the science of spirituality. Today, we explore what those ideas can look like in everyday life. Miller explains why moments of connection, spiritual practices, and even periods of suffering can sometimes open the door to deeper meaning and growth. And on Your Questions Answered, behavioral scientist Dave Evans returns to respond to your comments on designing a meaningful life.   Hidden Brain is now on YouTube!

Food, safety, and strong relationships are essential to our survival. Psychologist Lisa Miller says our brains also crave something else: transcendence. She suggests that spirituality is a universal human capacity, and that feeling connected to something larger than ourselves may be essential to a fulfilling life.  If you enjoy listening to Hidden Brain, we think you'll enjoy watching it, too!
