But this isn’t just about struggle—it’s also about strategy.
Jamie shares the coping tools that help her calm her mind, soothe her body, and survive the long nights. Plus, she offers a nighttime affirmation meditation to help you end your day with grace and gentleness.
This episode is a soft landing place for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed after dark.
You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you can find peace, even in the chaos.
