Over the Mountain and Within - Quinn's H...

ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

For Pride Month, an original tale about Quinn, a non-binary, trans youth who embarks on a transformative quest up Sleep Mountain to discover their true identity. Through challenges, mystical encounters, and a final revelation from the Dream Oracle, Quinn learns to embrace the fluidity of their unique, ever-evolving self, providing a tender exploration of self-discovery and acceptance.

And beginning June 14th, I’ll be leading a six-week interactive coaching journey where you can join me and other kindred spirits in live Zoom sessions and a private online community space, creating a supportive environment for moving toward both inner peace and worldly success by combining the ancient wisdom of the hero’s journey with the modern science of mindfulness. To join us, enroll by June 14th at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://awakenyourmyth.com⁠⁠⁠

Your support means the world to me, and it's what enables me to continue being your guide to better sleep and meditation. For just $4.99 a month, you'll have immediate access to all 350+ episodes of Listen To Sleep, ad-free with no introductions, and you'll get to listen to new stories and meditations a day before everyone else. And, in response to many requests, I've now organized the stories, meditations and audiobook chapters into their own separate, easy-to-navigate feeds, even on Spotify. To join, or to learn more, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://listentosleep.supportingcast.fm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

You can also support the podcast by leaving a tip, or by purchasing a shareable audiobook from Listen To Sleep Plus. These longer books I've read are a great way to get some extra bedtime stories without a monthly subscription. Each one is available for just $5.50 as chapterized MP3s that will play on any device. You can find them at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.listentosleep.com/store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Sleep well, friends.💜
