    How Stories Help Us Sleep, Heal, and Breathe

    A warm, thoughtful conversation with number one sleep podcaster, Kathryn Nicolai, about why storytelling can feel like medicine for the nervous system. We explore how gentle narratives help quiet overthinking by shifting the brain into a calmer, more rest friendly state, and why adults still deserve the comfort of bedtime stories in a chaotic world. We also talk about healing, trauma, and why healing isn’t always about fixing everything, but about witnessing, surviving, and finding safety within ourselves and our communities. The discussion touches on burnout from self optimization culture, and the importance of joy, laughter, and simple everyday moments as essential parts of wellness and emotional balance. Kathryn is the host of the hit podcast ⁠Nothing much happens.⁠ Topics Discussed: → Why do stories help you sleep? → How does storytelling reduce anxiety? → Can voices improve sleep quality? → Why is rest important for health?→ How does trauma affect sleep?

    My Family Stole My Identity

    -We're All Insane Plus for Bonus Episodes, Ad-Free Listening, Access to New Show, Guided Mediations: https://wereallinsane.com Growing up in Brazil, things looked pretty normal on the outside—but there were always weird things happening. Letters showing up in her name, people coming to the house asking for her… and none of it made sense at the time. When she was 12, she found out why. Someone in her own family had stolen her identity and created companies in her name, leaving her with a massive amount of debt before she was even a teenager. We talk about what that actually looked like growing up—dealing with legal issues as a kid, having her assets frozen at 18, and spending years trying to fix something she didn’t do.

    Stalked by a Woman for 25 Years

    In this episode, I sit down with Anna Parsons to talk about a story that started when she was just 16 and turned into decades of stalking. What makes her case even more unusual is that the person targeting her was another young woman, something that often gets dismissed or misunderstood. Anna shares what it was like trying to get adults and law enforcement to take the situation seriously, how the stalking escalated over the years, and why the typical advice people give victims can actually make things worse. We also talk about how she eventually educated herself in psychology, criminology, and mental health to better understand what was happening and how to protect herself. Today, Anna uses her experience to advocate for victims and raise awareness about female stalkers, a topic that is rarely talked about but very real. Her story is intense, eye opening, and an important reminder that stalking can take many forms.

    Intimacy After Trauma

    In this episode, I sat down with a trauma informed somatic healer who completely reframed the way I think about intimacy, sex, and what it actually means to feel safe in your body. We talk about why so many of us struggle with intimacy — and it’s not because we are broken. It is about nervous system regulation, cultural conditioning, purity culture, performative sex, and how disconnected we have become from our own desire. This conversation challenged me in the best way. If you have ever felt stuck in your head during sex, unsure how to express what you want, or wondered why intimacy feels harder than it should, this episode is going to open something up in you. This one is honest, embodied, and deeply human. Topics Discussed: → Why is intimacy so hard? → How does trauma affect sex? → What is nervous system regulation? → Why do I feel disconnected? → How can I feel safe sexually?
