Summary

While on hiatus we'll be sharing bonus episodes from the letting it settle plus vault. Enjoy this gentle Sleep Story originally aired on 06/24/25 Trade the day’s hurry for hush as Michael guides you up a snowy mountain road and into a fire-lit log cabin where friendship, laughter, and the scent of cinnamon-pine mingle in the air. Make snow angels beneath silver icicles, share stew and mulled wine around a candle-glow table, then melt into overstuffed chairs while the fire pops and star-dusted silence settles outside. By the time the lullaby of wind through evergreens brushes the windows, every thought drifts like falling snow and sleep arrives as softly as a blanket laid across your shoulders. -- Follow Michael Galyon Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@michael.galyon⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@lettingitsettle⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.michaelgalyon.com/⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠connect@michaelgalyon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Making This Show Possible: We are proud to be an ad-free podcast!
