Hello lovelies. I hope you're okay. I know life can be tough, and sometimes we need a little space to rest and begin again. This gentle, trauma-informed sleep meditation is here for you through the hard times. We'll take things slowly, with grounding, gentle breathing and a soothing body scan. There's no right way to listen—take what helps and leave the rest. And if you drift off, that's okay too.

Episode Notes – "Here I Am, Still Here: A Soft Place to Land" In this episode, I share a gentle, looping meditation for the days when you've simply had enough. We begin with a soft, honest ramble from my morning here in the Barossa and then ease into a repetitive practice using phrases like "Here I am" and "I'm still here" to help you rest, regulate, and remember that your presence matters, exactly as you are. If this podcast supports you and you're in a position to do so, your donations truly change everything. They help me keep creating trauma‑informed, accessible practices and allow others—who may not be able to pay right now—to still receive this support. It's a way of paying it forward so our little community of care can continue. One‑off donations via PayPal You can make a one‑off contribution here: http://paypal.me/Laurenostrowski Patreon – ongoing support & extra content Support my work and access additional practices and updates: https://www.patreon.com/cw/laurenostrowskifenton Thank you, truly, for listening, for sharing, and for supporting this work in whatever way you can. Your presence here matters.

Hello lovely ones, As always, you hear things first here. I've been reflecting on how grateful I am to be doing this work – teaching, creating meditations, and studying – and how much I'm absolutely loving my job more and more. It's a juggle, but it's an enjoyable juggle. I'm recording these notes at four in the morning. The night sky is stunning, my son has just got up, and I've made him his very specific crumpet recipe: soak them in maple syrup, then add Nutella, then more maple syrup on top. The kittens have finally emerged from under the couch and are now racing around the house with complete, reckless joy. It's a messy, beautiful, real-life moment – and I'm so glad I get to share it with you. Thank you so much for supporting me and Patrick. I have two assessments due in the next few days, so I've been a little quieter than usual, but I am still here, still creating, and still holding you in mind as I design each practice. Honestly, I would not be creating this content without your support. Your generosity genuinely makes this work possible. Thank you, from my heart.
