    10 Signs You’re Recovering From Insomnia | Ep 70

    Wondering what true recovery actually looks? Feel like sleep is the ONLY sign that things are getting better? Wish you had a clearer sense of whether you’re on the right track? This episode is for you. Most of us who struggle with insomnia are driven, type-A, perfectionistic overachievers. We love a clear plan. A step-by-step path. Boxes to check. Milestones feel reassuring because they show our brain that progress is happening. But insomnia recovery doesn’t unfold in that neat, linear way. A when the milestones aren’t obvious, it can feel confusing… or even discouraging. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 10 common signs that healing is happening, even if sleep itself hasn’t come back online yet. A few highlights: Why recovery feels more like a cha-cha dance than a straight lineThe real metric of success in insomnia recoveryWhy sleep itself isn’t actually the solution to insomniaWhat usually begins to change BEFORE sleep becomes consistent againIf you’ve been wondering whether you’re moving forward or spinning your wheels, this episode will help you see the ways progress is already unfolding. Recovery isn’t just about getting your sleep back. It’s about getting your LIFE back. 🧡 Related Episodes: Ep 3: Dancing with Insomnia: Part 1 Ep 4: Dancing with Insomnia: Part 2 Connect with Beth: 👉  Instagram  Work with Beth: 👉   Learn About the Mind.

    Insomnia and the Science of Focus | Ep 68

    When I had insomnia, I couldn’t figure out why anything having to do with sleep felt so GIGANTIC in my mind. Every nuance, every sensation, every night felt more critical than the last. It was very life-or-death to me. What I didn’t realize at the time was: There was a perfectly logical reason for this. My brain wasn’t malfunctioning. It was doing exactly what brains are designed to do. It was filtering IN what mattered most. And filtering OUT what didn't. Who knew? And because not sleeping had become such an emotionally charged experience in my life, my brain learned to amplify every thought, sensation, and scenario around that exact thing. In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind focus and explain why insomnia can feel so all-consuming. Tune in to learn: Why focus isn’t always something you chooseHow the brain’s filtering system determines what dominates your awarenessWhy sleep starts to feel urgent and impossible during insomniaHow meaning shapes attentionWhy lasting change comes from new perspectivesIf sleep has taken over your thoughts, your days, or your sense of safety in the world, this episode will help you understand WHY, and gently point you in a new direction forward.

    Why You Get Wired at Bedtime (Encore) | Ep 67

    In this encore episode,  I dive into the surprising reason your brain won’t let you sleep at night, even when nothing is actually wrong.

    How Carlos Got His Life Back from Insomnia | Ep 66

    In this deeply relatable episode, Carlos shares his honest journey through insomnia. After years of overthinking and long sleep onset, a period of intense work stress pushed his nervous system into full-blown survival mode, and not sleeping became something his brain perceived as a threat.  Like so many others, Carlos did what we're told to do: CBT-I, sleep restriction, breathing exercises, supplements, medications, and constant sleep monitoring — only to find that the harder he tried, the worse it got. In this conversation, Beth and Carlos explore the deeper truth behind insomnia: Sleep isn’t something you need to produce. It’s something the body does naturally all on its own.

    "My Body Will Remember How to Sleep" — Emily's Story | Ep 65

    Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken. What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication, but nothing brought lasting relief. Sleep became the center of her life. Her turning point came when she realized she couldn’t keep rearranging her world around insomnia. Inside the mentorship, she learned about hyperarousal, let go of rigid rules, and began loosening her grip on sleep. Slowly, her nervous system settled. What once had her spiraling felt less threatening over time. Eventually, trust came to the forefront again. Her insight captures it perfectly: “Of course my body will remember how to sleep.” Today, sleep is no longer something she chases. It happens naturally while she lives her life. Enjoy!

    In this foundational episode, Beth is joined by Mind. Body. Sleep.® co-coach Richard Wills to explore one of the most important — and least understood — aspects of insomnia recovery: hyperarousal.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels wired when you feel tired, this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.
