Quick update episode before I head out to walk the Camino! A few episodes ago, I told you about coming off my medication and sleep aids, the brain zaps, and the nights I barely slept.Here's where things landed: I'm fully off everything, sleeping better than I have in months, and I'm sharing exactly what worked.I'm also telling you about the day I broke my own rule, paid for it until In this episode, you'll learn:The full update on coming off sleep aids and medication, including the last little crutch I didn't even realize I was usingThe two simple changes that made the biggest difference in my sleepWhat happened the day I broke my own caffeine boundary (and why it felt exactly like drinking)How to get back to a boundary after you break it, without the shame spiral or the "I'll start Monday" trapWhy your body knows how to get back to baseline when you stop interferingQuick reminder: this is my personal experience with medication. Always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping anything.Also, I recommend you listen to 'How to Stop Talking Yourself Out of It When It Gets Uncomfortable' before you listen to this one, to get the full context!
