    In this episode, Gregory brings his signature warmth and wit to a deep dive into hypervigilance—why it develops, how it shapes trauma recovery, and, most importantly, what you can do to gently dial down the constant sense of threat. You’ll hear moving stories from real listeners, accessible science, and step-by-step practices to help you move from living on high alert to creating daily moments of ease.

    2025/06/09
    In this episode, we take a deep, compassionate dive into the art of building a night routine that works for complex trauma. Discover why predictability soothes an over-alert nervous system, how small rituals transform evenings, and what to do when real life is messy, noisy, or just plain hard.

If you’ve ever felt alone or broken in your battle for rest, this conversation will remind you that sleep is your birthright, and building safety is both science and self-love.

    Key Takeaways

    • Consistent bedtime rituals help the brain associate evenings with rest
    • Simple sensory anchors—light, scent, sound—make sleep routines portable anywhere
    • Compassion and flexibility are more effective than perfection in recovery
    • Sleep is a birthright, not something you have to earn
