Going to the bathroom multiple times a night?

Lying in bed thinking, “I better go again… just in case"?

If you struggle with insomnia and nighttime bladder urgency, this episode is for you.

Tune in to hear:

• Why frequent nighttime bathroom trips are so common with insomnia
• Why it’s usually not a bladder problem at all
• How hyperarousal and sleep anxiety can create a sense of urgency
• How “just in case” habits become safety behaviors
• Why your brain may be amplifying normal sensations in an effort to protect you.

I share my personal experience of getting up six to eight times a night, and what helped me stop worrying that something was seriously wrong with me.

Your body is still on your side.

When I had insomnia, I couldn’t figure out why anything having to do with sleep felt so GIGANTIC in my mind.

Every nuance, every sensation, every night felt more critical than the last.

It was very life-or-death to me.

What I didn’t realize at the time was:

There was a perfectly logical reason for this.

My brain wasn’t malfunctioning.

It was doing exactly what brains are designed to do.

It was filtering IN what mattered most. And filtering OUT what didn't.

Who knew?

And because not sleeping had become such an emotionally charged experience in my life, my brain learned to amplify every thought, sensation, and scenario around that exact thing.

In this episode, I break down the neuroscience behind focus and explain why insomnia can feel so all-consuming.

Tune in to learn:

• Why focus isn’t always something you choose
• How the brain’s filtering system determines what dominates your awareness
• Why sleep starts to feel urgent and impossible during insomnia
• How meaning shapes attention
• Why lasting change comes from new perspectives

If sleep has taken over your thoughts, your days, or your sense of safety in the world, this episode will help you understand WHY, and gently point you in a new direction forward.

Enjoy!

In this encore episode, I dive into the surprising reason your brain won’t let you sleep at night, even when nothing is actually wrong.

You’ll learn:

• Why insomnia is rooted in survival, not broken sleep
• How wakefulness becomes linked with fear
• The role hyperarousal plays in keeping the cycle alive
• The difference between real danger and perceived threat
• Why trying to fix sleep often backfires
• How understanding the brain supports real, lasting recovery

This conversation reveals how perceived danger, not wakefulness itself, keeps insomnia going, and how neuroplasticity allows the brain to unlearn fear and return to sleep naturally.

In this deeply relatable episode, Carlos shares his honest journey through insomnia.

After years of overthinking and long sleep onset, a period of intense work stress pushed his nervous system into full-blown survival mode, and not sleeping became something his brain perceived as a threat.

Like so many others, Carlos did what we're told to do: CBT-I, sleep restriction, breathing exercises, supplements, medications, and constant sleep monitoring — only to find that the harder he tried, the worse it got.

In this conversation, Beth and Carlos explore the deeper truth behind insomnia:

Sleep isn’t something you need to produce. It’s something the body does naturally all on its own.

Tune in for hope, validation, and a new way of understanding insomnia recovery.

Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken.

What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication, but nothing brought lasting relief.

Sleep became the center of her life.

Her turning point came when she realized she couldn’t keep rearranging her world around insomnia. Inside the mentorship, she learned about hyperarousal, let go of rigid rules, and began loosening her grip on sleep.

Slowly, her nervous system settled. What once had her spiraling felt less threatening over time.

Eventually, trust came to the forefront again. Her insight captures it perfectly:

“Of course my body will remember how to sleep.”

Today, sleep is no longer something she chases. It happens naturally while she lives her life.

Enjoy!

Mind. Body. Sleep.® with Beth Kendall is your trusted source for holistic insomnia recovery, blending neuroplasticity, nervous system health, and mind-body coaching to help you finally sleep again.

In this foundational episode, Beth is joined by Mind. Body. Sleep.® co-coach Richard Wills to explore one of the most important — and least understood — aspects of insomnia recovery: hyperarousal.

Together, they unpack what hyperarousal really is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it’s the true obstacle standing between you and effortless sleep.

You’ll learn the four types of hyperarousal and how each one can subtly (or not so subtly) keep the brain on high alert.

Beth and Richard share personal insights, relatable stories, and practical ways to help your brain stand down from perceived threats so sleep can re-emerge on its own.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels wired when you feel tired, this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.

Key topics:

• What hyperarousal is and how it develops
• The difference between appropriate arousal and overactivation
• Emotional, physical, mental, and silent hyperarousal explained
• How fear of wakefulness reinforces insomnia
• Practical ways to calm the system and teach the brain safety again

Beth spent 42 years chasing sleep.

Until one day, she realized the very effort to “fix” insomnia was the exact thing keeping her stuck.

What followed wasn’t another hack, routine, or bedtime ritual. It was a complete shift in how she related to sleep itself.

In this episode, Beth shares three transformational mindsets that quietly ended her lifelong battle with insomnia.

You’ll hear how ownership (without blame) restores power, why the fixing loop is a trap in disguise, and how living as if you’re already free creates the conditions for natural sleep to return.

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel trapped in the same old cycle, this one will turn everything you thought you knew about insomnia upside down.

Enjoy! 🧡
