Welcome to a calming episode of “I Thought I Was Over This,” where Dr. Kimber, a licensed clinical psychologist and somatic experiencing practitioner, guides us through a gentle journey of grounding and regulation.
In this episode, Dr. Kimber invites listeners to settle in, become aware of their environment, and practice mindful breathing and self-soothing techniques designed to reset the nervous system.
She shares insights from psychological research—including the principles of dual awareness and polyvagal theory—helping us recognize how our bodies respond to stress and how we can gently return to a state of ease.
We’re treated to a reflective reading of the poem “The Work of Happiness” by May Sarton, weaving together themes of presence, growth, and inner peace.
Whether you’re looking to slow down, re-center, or simply cultivate more happiness in your day, this episode offers a thoughtful space for self-care and renewal.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
