If you’re feeling tired in a way sleep hasn’t fixed…

If your nervous system feels loud, brittle, or overworked…

If you sense your body asking for rest—not collapse, not distraction, but true restoration—

This guided Yoga Nidra meditation is for you.

Yoga Nidra is a powerful, evidence-based practice for deep rest and nervous system regulation, often described as “yogic sleep.” In this state, the body rests as if asleep while awareness remains gently awake—allowing stress patterns to unwind, the mind to quiet, and the system to restore itself from the inside out.

This episode begins immediately with the guided practice, so please take a moment to orient yourself before pressing play.

Before you begin:

• Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you can lie down and be still
• Download the episode and switch to airplane mode
• Use headphones if possible for a more immersive experience
• Cover your eyes with an eye pillow or soft cloth to support inward focus

In under 30 minutes, you’ll be guided into a profoundly restorative state that supports:

• Nervous system healing
• Better sleep and deeper rest
• Stress and anxiety relief
• Emotional integration
• Burnout recovery
• Midlife and perimenopausal regulation

You don’t need to effort.

You don’t need to “do it right.”

You don’t need to earn this rest.

Just lie down—and let your body remember how to restore itself.

For the science, history, and soul of this practice, listen to Unlocking the Healing Power of Deep Rest — What Yoga Nidra Really Is, where I break down how Yoga Nidra affects the brain, nervous system, and long-term resilience.

As we move toward 2026, many women are realizing that midlife isn’t something to “push through”—it’s an initiation to be met.

If you’re feeling the call for deeper support, structure, and meaning as you walk through this threshold, I invite you to join the Second Firing 2026 waitlist—a transformational container for women navigating the physical, emotional, and energetic fire of midlife with clarity, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom.

Do you feel anxious even when nothing is wrong?

Does your body feel tense, wired, or exhausted — but “relaxation” doesn’t help?

Have you tried breathwork, meditation, movement, or nervous system tools… only to feel worse?

You’re not broken.

You’re just using stress tools for anxiety — and anxiety tools for stress.

In this powerful, hour-long deep dive, Kate Garland, nervous system–informed coach and intuitive guide, explains the critical difference between stress, strain, and anxiety — a distinction almost no one is taught, and one that changes everything once you understand it.

This episode is for women who are:

• chronically stressed but can’t pinpoint why

• high-functioning yet secretly overwhelmed

• anxious without a clear trigger

• burned out, but unable to truly rest

• frustrated that “nervous system regulation” hasn’t worked the way it was promised

Blending neuroscience, endocrinology, somatic psychology, and lived experience, Kate offers a framework that replaces self-blame with clarity — and confusion with relief.

This episode reflects the core philosophy behind The Second Firing — Kate’s signature midlife initiation container for women navigating burnout, anxiety, identity shifts, and profound transformation.

✨ The next cohort begins in early 2026.

In this episode, we blow up the most common myths about burnout and get honest about what’s really happening beneath the surface — especially for women in midlife who feel exhausted, foggy, emotionally flat, or quietly overwhelmed for “no logical reason.”

Kate reframes burnout not as a failure of willpower or self-care… but as a nervous system overload problem.

You’ll hear:

• Why burnout isn’t fixed by sleep, vacations, or “trying harder”
• What emotional load actually does to your nervous system
• How your body experiences unfinished emotions as background threat
• Why midlife burnout feels different than exhaustion in your 20s and 30s
• What capacity really is — and why “regulation” isn’t about being calm
• The neuroscience of unresolved emotional loops
• How clarity returns not through escape, but through completion

This conversation is for you if:

• You’re “technically fine” but deeply tired
• You’ve rested, retreated, and recalibrated… and still feel off
• You wonder why your body seems louder than it used to be
• You’re craving relief but don’t want another wellness performance playbook
• You suspect burnout is deeper than overwork — but haven’t had words for it

This is not a “burnout recovery checklist” episode.

It’s a perspective shift.

A nervous-system truth bomb.

And a compassionate invitation to stop carrying what your body can no longer hold.

You’ll leave understanding:

Burnout isn’t about doing too much.

It’s about holding too much open.

⭐️ And you’ll be guided through a simple nervous-system reset you can use anywhere — even in your car — to begin creating safety and capacity in real time.

If you think your breath is “just breathing,” this episode is going to blow the doors off everything you thought you understood about your body, your nervous system, and your emotional life.

Because your breath?

It’s not neutral.

It’s not random.

It’s not quiet.

It’s revealing you.

Every inhale, every pause, every exhale you cut short — it’s all data.

It’s your subconscious speaking in Morse code.

And once you know how to read the signals, you’ll never see yourself the same way again.

Today, you’ll take what might be the most accurate personality assessment of your entire midlife, using nothing but the way you’re breathing right now.

This isn’t a quiz.

It’s not a gimmick.

This is the map your body has been trying to hand you for years.

Get ready — this one’s light, fun, wildly illuminating, and just irreverent enough to feel like a cosmic mirror held up to your Monday morning.

And once you hear this?

You’ll never un-hear it.

You’ll discover exactly who you’ve been breathing as… and who you’re becoming.

This is the assessment of the decade — and it’s happening in your body, right now.

Safety isn’t something the world gives you—it’s something you build inside your own body.

In this episode, Kate explores what safety means—and why we’ve been taught to search for it everywhere except inside ourselves.

Through her own story of chaos, control, and hurricanes, she reveals the deeper truth: safety isn’t the absence of danger, it’s the presence of trust—trust in your body, your breath, and your ability to meet the moment.

If you’ve ever felt like your peace depends on keeping everyone else calm, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

• Why “staying safe” became a cultural obsession—and what it’s really costing us
• The hidden difference between protection and safety
• How your nervous system actually determines whether you feel safe (hint: it’s not mental)
• Why midlife is the perfect moment to reclaim internal safety and sovereignty
• What happens in the body when we stop outsourcing safety—and start embodying it
• The truth about “comfort vs. control,” and how to build real stability from within

In this episode, Kate unearths the real origins of Samhain — the ancient Celtic festival that gave birth to Halloween — and explores how this season of darkness was never meant to be spooky. It was sacred. A time to honor endings, commune with mystery, and meet the parts of ourselves we’ve buried.

From the bonfires of ancient Ireland to the marigolds of Día de los Muertos, we trace how cultures around the world have danced with death, shadow, and renewal. And we ask the deeper question:

What if this season isn’t about fearing the dark… but becoming friends with it?

You’ll hear stories of ancient rituals (and one very modern Tampa pirate festival), how repression fuels the shadow we’re trying to avoid, and why integration — not denial — is the real alchemy of transformation.

Inside this conversation:

• 🌑 The true Celtic meaning of Samhain
• 🎃 How Halloween became the sacred-silly hybrid we know today
• 💀 The parallel heartbeat between Samhain and Día de los Muertos
• ⚡ Why our “dark costumes” might be medicine, not mischief
• 💋 How repression feeds the shadow — and how embodiment heals it
• 🔥 A candlelight practice for meeting your shadow self this season
• 
  

Because the veil that’s truly thinning isn’t just between the living and the dead — it’s between you and the parts of yourself you’ve been afraid to meet.

• Existential Kink by Carolyn Lovewell — a masterclass in shadow integration and liberation through self-awareness.
