From Fear to Freedom: Rik's Journey Out of Insomnia | Ep 60
In this inspiring story, Rik shares how insomnia brought him to his knees — and how he slowly rewired fear into freedom. From panic attacks to the loneliness of sleepless nights, he describes what it was like to feel trapped in the cycle of anxiety and exhaustion.
But through patience, community, and a new understanding of the mind, Rik discovered something profound: freedom isn’t perfect sleep. It’s letting go of the fight.
“The wild thing is dealing with insomnia… it's just kind of letting it be—that's what fixes it.”

- The role of community in easing loneliness and breaking the cycle
- How Rik learned that sleep doesn’t require calmness or perfection to happen
- What it looks like to shift from fighting insomnia to accepting it
- Why recovery is messy, non-linear, and still full of hope
