Hello, I'm Janie. And it's truly an honor to be here with you on Sleep Magic. You may have spent many nights being guided into rest by the deeply comforting presence of Jessica, whose voice and care and hypnotic artistry have supported so many through countless evenings of healing sleep. And I want to begin by honoring that. Jessica has created something truly special here, A beautiful collection of sessions woven with intention and compassion and deep understanding. And I want you to know that those sessions will always remain here for you. You can think of them like a familiar pathway to sleep that you can return to anytime you wish. And as we continue moving forward together, please know that the heart of Sleep Magic remains unchanged from the care to the safety to the deep, nurturing support you've come to trust. Know that we will continue to be here for you each and every night in that same way. You know, I feel so honored to carry this gentle baton forward, to be here with you in this quiet, sacred space and to support your rest, your healing, and your peace. And while my voice may be new to you now, I'm certain that in no time I'll feel like an old friend saying hello. I'm so glad you're here tonight. I think we all can agree that change is a constant in life. And here at Sleepiest, we are here to gently walk through this change with you. But one thing that is very important remains the same. This space is still yours, just as it has always been. Like Jessica, I'm a professional hypnotherapist with years of experience. And it has been a great honor to help thousands of people create positive changes in their life. And through this work over the years, I have found that the most healing and restorative improvement that we can apply to our lives is simply to reduce anxiety, calm our minds, and sleep more restfully. I'm here to help you achieve all of these upgrades in your complete and total well being. And I am so very much looking forward to that. And it really is so special that we have the opportunity to connect with each other from all around the world. In fact, I'm having fun imagining right now where you may be at this very moment, somewhere in this great beautiful world where you are lying ever so comfortably, taking this time to just relax and unwind. I myself am from Southern California, born and raised. Those who are native to Southern California tend to be quite proud to say so. And how could we not? It is a beautiful state, filled with sunshine, spectacular sunsets, palm tree lined roads. It is a place where oceans and deserts and mountains are Just a short drive away. It is a place of dreamers and creators. But at this point in my life, I have found a real joy in travel. So I'd call myself quite a nomad at this stage in my life. Though I love to be on the road, enchanted by new places, there really is no place like home. It's how I hope you will always feel about this space we share here at Sleep Magic. That as you travel the many different paths throughout your life, exploring this world and all of the experiences that it has to offer, that you can always look to Sleep Magic as a home base. A cozy and familiar place that you can return to night after night, no matter where in the world you are or where the path you're on is leading. And I also understand that the idea of home may be a bit unfamiliar to you as it can be for so many. I deeply understand that. I spent the first few years of my life in the foster care system before eventually being adopted by a new family. So I have a deep understanding of how abstract the concept of home can truly be. But I'd like to share a secret with you that I have discovered over the years, and that is that home is ultimately not a place at all, but a feeling. In fact, I can conjure that feeling up right now, right in this very moment when I think back on where I have found home in my heart. I found it on a dear friend's couch when I needed good company during a hard time. Or during a soul searching hike through the Santa Monica Mountains. Or my favorite sitting on the patio of my favorite Mexican restaurant while enjoying hot tortilla chips and fresh guacamole and just watching the evening sun fade into a pink and purple sky. These are some of the ways that I have felt totally at home. Home is where your nervous system is calm, where you feel safe to be yourself, and ultimately where you can just be and deeply exhale. In fact, I'll share with you that one of the reasons I became a hypnotherapist is because I wanted to help people like you connect to a deeper sense of safety, regardless of a difficult past or the challenges that are being faced today. So tonight and every night moving forward, I'll be here. I'll be here to help you reach that deep inner calm and connect to that feeling of home, just as Jessica has been over the years. I am truly so grateful to be a part of your nightly routine, to be a safe and comforting space that you can return to night after night. Allow me to help you to drift drop and let go. It is such an honor to be here with you.

One thing I always forget about summer is how much harder it can be to get comfortable at night. As soon as the nights get warmer, I start wanting everything to feel lighter and more breathable, especially my bedding. And that's what led me to Quince. I ordered their bamboo sheet set and they've honestly been such a good switch for this time of year. They feel cool when you first get in and stay airy through the night while still feeling soft and cozy. Quince has beautiful bedding in bamboo, organic cotton and European linen, all designed to feel light and comfortable for summer nights. And everything feels genuinely elevated without the luxury markup of other brands because Quince works directly with ethical manufacturers, so their products are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands, which honestly makes a real difference right now. Elevate your summer bedding. Go to quince.com sleepmagic for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. Now available in Canada too. That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com sleepmagic for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com sleepmagic we all go through periods of worry, but sometimes it can be hard to recognize when anxiety has stopped being just stress and started having a real impact on your day to day life. Maybe it's showing up at night when you're trying to sleep or making it hard to focus. Feel like yourself during the day. And while meditation and even therapy can be really, really valuable, sometimes you also need specialist support. Tachyatry is a 100% online psychiatry practice that provides evaluations, diagnoses and ongoing medication management for conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD and more. And unlike therapy only platforms, Tochiatry is psychiatry, meaning you're meeting with a licensed medical provider who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication when it's appropriate. They'll work with you to build a personalized treatment plan and because their clinicians are in network with major insurers, you can use your existing coverage instead of paying huge out of pocket costs.
