SLEEP MEDITATION with Lauren Ostrowski Fenton

Hi lovely. If life feels like a lot right now, this meditation is here to help you put things down for a little while.

Get comfortable, take a gentle breath with me, and let's soften into a calming body scan. You've done enough today. You're allowed to rest.

I hope this brings you a little comfort.

Lauren is a meditation teacher, yoga instructor, counsellor, and Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner based in South Australia.

She holds an Honours degree in Anthropology and a Master's degree in Counselling. She has also begun a second Master's degree in Disability Leadership (Developmental Educator), with the aim of working as a developmental educator.

Lauren brings together her academic background, lived experience, and years of meditation teaching. Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, grief, resilience, and self-compassion, offering practical, trauma-aware support for everyday life.

Hello lovelies. I hope you're okay. I know life can be tough, and sometimes we need a little space to rest and begin again.

This gentle, trauma-informed sleep meditation is here for you through the hard times. We'll take things slowly, with grounding, gentle breathing and a soothing body scan. There's no right way to listen—take what helps and leave the rest. And if you drift off, that's okay too.

A sunset, the cats, and a little thank you 🌅

I recorded this one sitting outside as the sun went down, with the cats keeping me company. It's a short, personal note about how this podcast keeps going, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who already supports it.

Hi lovelies,

A quick update: I've woken up with a cold, I'm nearly through my essays and tests for the year, and the solar installation is finally finished—though those builders on the roof did interrupt my recording! Spring is arriving here, and I've loved having my sons visit. I'm also still working out how best to help with the cats being dumped in our street.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who has donated. Your generosity is what keeps this channel going. I want to be honest: without donations, I can't continue creating and sharing these meditations here. If this work has helped you and you're able to contribute, please consider supporting the channel. Every donation makes a real difference.

Episode Notes – "Here I Am, Still Here: A Soft Place to Land"

In this episode, I share a gentle, looping meditation for the days when you've simply had enough. We begin with a soft, honest ramble from my morning here in the Barossa and then ease into a repetitive practice using phrases like "Here I am" and "I'm still here" to help you rest, regulate, and remember that your presence matters, exactly as you are.

If this podcast supports you and you're in a position to do so, your donations truly change everything. They help me keep creating trauma‑informed, accessible practices and allow others—who may not be able to pay right now—to still receive this support. It's a way of paying it forward so our little community of care can continue.

Hello lovely ones,

As always, you hear things first here. I've been reflecting on how grateful I am to be doing this work – teaching, creating meditations, and studying – and how much I'm absolutely loving my job more and more. It's a juggle, but it's an enjoyable juggle.

I'm recording these notes at four in the morning. The night sky is stunning, my son has just got up, and I've made him his very specific crumpet recipe: soak them in maple syrup, then add Nutella, then more maple syrup on top. The kittens have finally emerged from under the couch and are now racing around the house with complete, reckless joy. It's a messy, beautiful, real-life moment – and I'm so glad I get to share it with you.

Thank you so much for supporting me and Patrick. I have two assessments due in the next few days, so I've been a little quieter than usual, but I am still here, still creating, and still holding you in mind as I design each practice.

Honestly, I would not be creating this content without your support. Your generosity genuinely makes this work possible. Thank you, from my heart.
