The Insomnia Project – Episode: Loonies, Blooms & Ancestry
Welcome to a double episode of The Insomnia Project! Since we missed last week, today’s show is extra-long—perfect for those who need a little more time to drift off.
Join your hosts Marco and Amanda as they ease you into relaxation with a calming conversation about some charming Canadian shortcut sayings, including the iconic “Loonie” and “Toonie.” From there, they delve into the subtle (and soothing) difference between a canteen and a cafeteria—yes, they are different, and yes, we’re going there.
As the flowers start to bloom, so too does one of our favourite themes—nature. We revisit poetry, a recurring and gentle thread on the show, and explore Amanda’s ancestry in a way that’s thoughtful, quiet, and curiosity-driven.
All this and much more, softly delivered to help guide you into rest.
Sweet dreams.
