#19 - The Sleep You’re Craving Isn’t Just Physical: MG Conversation on Life, Sleep & the Body

from Deep Conversations with Valerie Birch · host Valerie Birch

Have you ever wondered why you still feel tired… even when you’re doing everything “right”?In this first guest conversation, I sit down with Austeen Heeney with Free To Be Yoga Massage — a bodyworker, yoga teacher, and manifesting generator — for a grounded, honest talk about the deeper connection between sleep, energy, and self-trust.We explore what happens when we stop trying to earn our rest and instead begin to understand what we actually need — in our minds, our bodies, and our sleep.This episode is for you if you’ve been wondering:* Why you still feel tired after a full night’s sleep* What it means to “speak the body’s language” — and how to begin* How Human Design can offer surprising insight into sleep, energy use, and daily rhythm* What it looks like to honor your real needs (without guilt)* And how your environment — inside and out — shapes your restThis isn’t a list of tips. It’s a reflection, an invitation, and a lived example of what happens when we start trusting the quieter knowing within us.Follow Austeen Heeney, Free To Be Yoga MassageIG: https://www.instagram.com/austeen_freetobeWebsite- https://freetobeyogamassage.com/The Nurture Studio: https://freetobeyogamassage.com/the-nurture-studio/Looking for Sleep Support?Human Design Guidance for Sleep: https://www.valeriebirch.com/courses-downloads/p/intuitive-human-design-guidance1-1 Session for Sleep: https://www.valeriebirch.com/conscious-sleep-servicesFind the Right Bedtime for your child: https://www.valeriebirch.com/courses-downloads/p/finding-the-right-bedtime-a-conscious-sleep-guideShare your biggest aha moment with today’s conversation!https://www.instagram.com/human.design.parenting This is a public episode.
