The $0 Nighttime Routine That Rewired My Nervous System

I used to think a “night routine” meant candles, skincare, and journaling under a weighted blanket. But the truth? I was spiraling in bed at midnight, bloated, overstimulated, and wondering why I woke up anxious every day. If your evenings feel like chaos but you keep trying to “win the morning,” this one’s for you.In this episode, I walk you through the real, unsexy rituals I started doing before 10PM that actually helped calm my nervous system — no aesthetics, no perfection. We talk about digestion, sleep anxiety, late-night overthinking, and why your body doesn’t care about magnesium if you’re still doomscrolling.You’ll leave with a handful of $0 rituals and a softer, more sustainable way to wind down — especially if you’re healing from burnout, gut issues, or just being “on” all the time.If this hit, send it to a friend who’s rebuilding their nervous system from scratch.CHAPTERS00:00 – The truth about morning anxiety01:10 – 1.
