Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring tonight's episode. You know, traditional in-person therapy can cost anywhere from $100 to $250 per session, or the equivalent in other currencies. But with BetterHelp Online Therapy, you can save on average up to 50% per session. Therapy should feel accessible for any of us who need it, and not like a luxury that so many of us are excluded from.
Therapy has always made such a positive impact on my life each time I've attended sessions, and I hope you're able to do the same if you feel it could be helpful for you. BetterHelp makes therapy more affordable and convenient. Hey everyone, I've been hearing from many of you lately about how stressed and anxious you're feeling.
Perhaps it's all the political energy out there, or maybe the heaviness of managing all the daily tasks that are on your plate. Whatever it is, I want you to know that you're not alone. and I have the perfect podcast to recommend to you that will help you manage stress and anxiety.
It's called Meditation for Anxiety, and it provides daily meditations that can help you dissolve all those worries and find deep peace. A recent favorite of mine is called Relieve Nighttime Anxiety. and I've found it really helpful. So follow Meditation for Anxiety on your favorite podcast player, so you can have these incredible meditations on hand anytime you need them.
Welcome to Get Sleepy, where we listen, we relax, and we get sleepy. My name's Thomas, and I'm your host. Continuing our series on the twelve Olympian gods of the ancient Greeks, tonight we turn to the goddess of the harvest, agriculture, and earthly fertility. Demeter can sometimes be seen to be apart from her divine family members in personality and temperament.
but she is as wise and powerful as any of them. Thank you to Frankie for writing this story, which I'll be reading for you.
