If you’ve ever been through the disheartening experience of sleeping better for a while, only to fall “back” into insomnia, this one’s for you.

Today I’m talking all about speed bumps.

And I’m doing it through the lens of David Goggins.

Because here's the thing about speed bumps … they’re normal.

Not only normal, but necessary.

We can’t really recover without them.

Tune in to hear:

• Why speed bumps are an important part of the process
• Some of the sneaky thoughts that like to creep in during these times
• The number one thing to remember when you’re in a speed bump
• Where the REAL battle lies
• Why NOT trying to break the cycle is what breaks the cycle

Speed bumps aren’t a sign that something has gone wrong. They’re a sign that things are going right.

Enjoy!

When you have insomnia, sleep can feel like a nightly battleground.

The harder we try to fix it, the more elusive it becomes. Insomnia is driven by the very efforts we make to escape it.

So many people (myself included) get caught in a cycle of trying everything — different teas, blackout curtains, sleep apps — only to find that these efforts just contribute to the problem.

It’s incredibly frustrating.

You might feel completely alone in this, but I assure you, you’re not. Many people share this struggle. The good news is there’s a way out.

Tune in and learn:

• What effortlessness truly means
• Why I’m fascinated with the flow state
• Everything you need to know about sleep efforts
• The role of the Law of Reversed Effort
• How sleep efforts reinforce the problem they’re meant to solve
• Why intention is the only thing that matters

By understanding the concept of effortlessness, we can break free from the cycle of never-ending sleep efforts and let our bodies do what they’re naturally designed to do.

Which is… sleep.

Enjoy!

Most people view insomnia as a SLEEP problem — an unrelenting beast that wreaks havoc on life.

But I see it differently...

Yes, insomnia is a problem. But it's mostly just a PATTERN.

A looping survival response running on replay.

In this episode, I dive deep into conditioned responses — how they work and what they have to do with insomnia.

Tune in to learn:

• The simple theory behind conditioned responses

• Our amazing ability to change these responses

• How to avoid turning neuroplasticity into another sleep effort

• How a natural, belief-based approach to insomnia can set you free

Our brains are highly adaptable. So, whatever sleep patterns you have today can be changed.

Understanding insomnia from this angle transforms it from a mysterious ailment to a learned fear response that can be unlearned.

And it's not as hard as you might think.

Join me as in this fun-hearted episode where I share tales of tequila and how you can use the mind-body connection to rewire your brain for better sleep.

Enjoy!
