You’ve probably tried a night routine before candles, chamomile, journalling and still found yourself wide awake, scrolling at midnight. In this episode, I share a realistic 10-minute ritual that actually helps your nervous system unwind.

We move through four simple stages: dim the lights and ditch the phone, do a brain “dump and release” on paper, anchor into the body with a warm wash or face rinse, and end with slow breath and three tiny gratitudes.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being consistent. I explain why predictability calms the nervous system far more than any ritual ever could. This episode is a gentle nudge to stop overcomplicating rest and start creating a nightly cue of safety your body can trust.

If you’ve been stuck in the scroll-shame cycle, this is your exit ramp.
