Hey everybody. It's Jessica, and welcome to this month's mailback episode, where I'm going to do my best to answer the questions you've sent in, and there are a lot of

them this week, so thank you. And before we dive into some of these issues, a few things to keep in

mind. First, I'm not a professional or an expert on any of these topics, with the exception of

hypnosis. So I may be stumped by some of your

questions. I will simply give my experience, my thoughts, my angle, but I won't pretend to know

stuff that I don't. If you need professional help with these issues, I encourage you to seek it out.

Second, this episode may not be appropriate for children.

And finally, if you fall asleep, because that's what happens when you hear my voice,

that's great.

Fall asleep, but if you're interested in getting the details, you can listen again

while you're taking a walk or cleaning the house.

Just don't listen to any Sleep Magic episode, driving the car or doing something high stakes.

All right? Thank you.

Before we get started, let's hear a quick word from our sponsors who make this free content possible.

Hey, Sleep Magic listeners. If you've been following Jessica from her days as the co-host of Sleep Wave, you may remember me.

I'm Carissa, and I'm here to invite you to join me for the brand new series of Sleepwave, a podcast designed for anyone who

struggles with sleep, whether it's taking forever to drift off or waking up in the middle of the

night. Every Monday, I share sleep meditations and relaxing bedtime stories that not only help you

fall asleep quickly, but also guide you through those thoughts that keep you up at

night. Whether it's stress, anxiety, or just a restless mind, we tackle it together so you can

get the rest you deserve. I know what it's like to struggle with sleep. I have a mind that loves to

keep me awake, and that's exactly why I'm so passionate about the meditations and stories we explore on Sleepwave.
