Calm Down Without Shutting Down is your go-to guided meditation for burnout and overwhelm—because emotionally checked out isn’t a vibe, and inner peace shouldn’t feel like another full-time job.
You know that moment when your brain goes full buffering and your soul hits airplane mode and you just can’t calm down? ✨ Yeah. Same.
This isn’t your typical “just breathe and be grateful” meditation.
It’s a realistic reset for the beautifully overwhelmed.
Because shutting down isn’t self-care—
But staying present shouldn’t require a PhD in nervous system regulation either.
This 5-minute nervous system pause is your gentle “you’re safe now”—served with a side of dry wit, emotional honesty, and permission to take up space even when you're not fine.
In this episode, you’ll:
🧠 Stop spiraling and start breathing again (without the pressure to feel “better”)
🔋 Shift from mental overload to manageable calm (we’re talking bare minimum peace)
🪞 Let go of the guilt for needing a pause—because survival mode is not a vibe
🌬️ Take up space, even in stillness (and especially if you’ve been pretending you’re fine)
Need more calm in your chaos?

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders
Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
