Ep 7.11 - Breaking Down Why You Can’t Sleep
In this episode, Kiné Corder, a nationally certified counselor specializing in financial therapy for stress, breaks down the real reason you can’t sleep. She explains how your conscious, subconscious, and unconscious brain each play a role in sleepless nights—and how financial and life stress silently keep your brain from feeling safe enough to rest.
Key Takeaways:
- (00:30) - Why money stress is the #1 driver of overall stress and how it impacts your health and sleep
• (03:15) - The conscious brain loop that keeps you from falling asleep (and how childhood programming fuels it)
• (07:40) - How the subconscious brain wakes you up at night with “what if” scenarios and catastrophic thinking
• (12:20) - The unconscious brain, 3–4 AM wakeups, and what your body might be trying to tell you
• (17:45) - Kiné’s “deactivation, preparation, hydration” night routine as a foundation for better sleep
“There are 1,000 things keeping you up at night, but there’s only one reason why you can’t sleep, and it’s because your brain doesn’t feel safe.” – Kiné Corder
