Letting It Settle with Michael Galyon

In this episode of Letting It Settle, Michael offers a gentle reminder: you're not meant to have it all figured out. You're human — and that means feeling tender, messy, and uncertain sometimes. But too often, we meet those moments with harsh self-talk instead of care. Through the story of a client navigating illness and motherhood, Michael shares how simple shifts in self-talk can change everything. You’ll learn three powerful tools — the Name Swap Practice, “Thank You, But Not Today,” and the Loving-Kindness Mirror — to help you speak to yourself with the kindness you deserve. The episode ends with a short, guided meditation to help you come home to yourself. --Email the show at lettingitsettle@michaelgalyon.com Subscribe to Letting It SettleFollow Michael Galyon on Instagram: @michael.galyon Tik Tok: @coachmichael1Visit his website at https://www.michaelgalyon.com/ Proudly produced and managed by Good Mess MediaSponsorship and brands, please contact Tracey Thomas at hello@goodmessmedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

What if your emotions weren’t problems to solve—but messages to receive? In this episode, Michael invites you to step away from the pressure to push through and instead practice the radical art of staying with what you feel.

You’ll learn three practical, science-backed tools to support emotional presence in your everyday life, and experience a soothing guided meditation to help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and yourself. This is an episode about pausing, witnessing, and gently responding to the parts of you that are asking to be seen—not solved. Take a breath, press play, and let it all settle. -- Email the show at lettingitsettle@michaelgalyon.com  Subscribe to Letting It Settle Follow Michael Galyon on Instagram: @michael.galyon Tik Tok: @coachmichael1 Visit his website at https://www.michaelgalyon.com/ Proudly produced and managed by Good Mess Media Sponsorship and brands, please contact Tracey Thomas at hello@goodmessmedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
