About this listen

When your mind races at night, it’s not malfunctioning — it’s standing guard. This episode explains why your brain refuses to stand down, how worry and rumination evolved to protect you, and why nighttime thinking feels so intense. You’ll also learn why the fear of tomorrow keeps insomnia alive, and how a simple shift in mindset can begin calming your nervous system without forcing relaxation.
