I’m hitting pause on our Coming Home to Yourself series for a special conversation with a true kindred spirit and friend of the podcast, Shannon Kaiser. Shannon is back to talk about her newest book, 365 Happy Bedtime Mantras, and let’s be real, who doesn’t need better sleep these days?
If you’ve ever struggled with winding down at night whether it be due to stress, anxiety or something in between, having a tangible tool on your nightstand can be a game-changer. Shannon’s book is exactly that, a beautiful, accessible tool to help release stress and anxiety so you can finally get the rest you deserve. As Shannon reminds us, “Sleep is a necessary focus of our overall health.”
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- The difference between releasing stress vs. just managing it (and why that distinction matters) (6:52)
- How stress and anxiety are the biggest culprits keeping you up at night (8:04)
- Why a bedtime ritual is key to signaling safety to your nervous system (12:05)
- The hidden anxiety high-achievers often don’t recognize, and how to start healing it (14:23)
- The underestimated role of sleep in emotional and physical healing (18:38)
- Shannon’s journey with ketamine therapy and how it’s supported her mental health (32:50)
