Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Yep, past interactions soar into my mind too. I listen to podcasts to distract myself

ah, I have a hard time falling asleep when reading or listening to podcasts (or audiobooks). I know some people who fall asleep watching TV, and it boggles my mind 😄

But I do find reading a book for an hour before bed (or even just sitting there doing nothing) gives my more intrusive thoughts a chance to come to the surface and run in circles for a bit and wear themselves out before I actually put my head on a pillow. If I focus and stay on tasks and don't let my mind wander much before bed I find my mind-wandering as I try to fall asleep is sometimes more active or disruptive as a result.

Yep I can't listen to most podcasts I only listen to sleep with me. Reading is a good idea it occupies you without being too taxing

I don't know why I'm shocked there is a podcast for falling asleep to, but that's just amazing - thank you for sharing it 💜

I'll bet it's fun to listen to when taking a relaxing bath, too 👀

Ooooh that's a great idea! Nice one thanks. It's a good podcast it generally takes people a few goes to get into it but it rarely doesn't work when you're used to it
