COURSE
Your Insomnia Breakthrough: From Survival Mode To Natural Sleep
With Meredith Louden
Most sleep advice focuses on what you do at bedtime. This course goes much deeper. Over 5 video lessons, insomnia coach Meredith Louden guides you through the 5 hidden traps that keep most people stuck in the insomnia cycle, and walks you through the deeper work that finally breaks you free. This course is about remembering what was always true – that you were born knowing how to sleep, that your body never forgot how, and that natural effortless sleep is not something you have to earn or force. It's something that returns to you when you reconnect with your true self.

I've struggled with poor sleep for years, and this course helped me to realize some underlying beliefs which have kept me trapped. My sleep hygiene is perfect, but fears and a Nervous System on alert is obviously the problem. I also have CFS and the journal prompts are very helpful for this issue. I believe my number 1 issue is the continued Identity of an insomniac and a person with CFS. I would definitely recommend this course!

Wonderful guidance Meredith, I’m so grateful for your thoughts and reassurance. I’ve struggled to sleep for 30 years and have had to adapt my life around those difficulties. I’ve have never given up believing that there was a solution but I just haven’t been able to find an answer that works for me. As soon as you talked about a nervous system stuck on autopilot that resonated with me and how it’s felt for so many nights when I just knew my body wasn’t going to stop pumping cortisol and allow me to sleep. Thank you for all you give to everyone who struggles in the night.

A simple suggestion has made a big difference. It is about a mental shift one makes that requires letting go of control.

Amazing course. I learned so much and identified with all the things that I have done to believe I’m always going to struggle with sleep. It’s been something a part of my life for over 60 years. It’s time to be done with that and this course gave me many tools to work with and practice to get there. So very grateful Meredith.

I love the paradigm shift that Meredith is describing, it is truly profound and feels meaningful, empowering and true for me. I already feel a new sense of ease, inspiration and possibility within me and that is already making a difference. Thank you so much.

After all that I have tried to break my very long streak of insomnia, this has been the most helpful. The last three nights I have slept well, simply by allowing it to happen and not being restricted to all the stuff in my head about there are being something wrong with me. Thank you.

The best sleep course I've ever listened to. Distilled what I've been learning about my sleep for over 30 years in 5 lessons. Thank you so much!

After all the trying and failing, this course has shown me a path forward to sleep well again. Meredith is so clear and concise in describing the true problem and how to fix it. For me, I believe the biggest challenge will be limiting my cortisol spikes during the day. The rest of the program is totally doable.

This course is an absolute must for anyone with sleep issues; it has helped me understand so much what has been going on and, as importantly, has taught me what I need to do moving forward. Thank you so much Meredith for this amazing gift. 🤗❤️
