Boring Books for Bedtime is a weekly sleep podcast in which we calmly, quietly read something rather boring to silence the brain chatter keeping you awake.

If you're on Team Sleepless, lie back, take a deep breath, and let us read you to rest.

Henry David Thoreau said, “We are constantly being invited to be who we are.” Yet how many of us accept the invitation to show up 100% authentically in our interactions with one another? How often do we feel safe enough to bring our whole selves to a conversation or a relationship? Most of us are held back by limiting beliefs and fear of being misunderstood and not belonging. In a world where people are hiding to stay “safe”, speaking our vulnerable truth is probably the most courageous thin ...
