In this wonderful conversation, Dr. Tanya Berfield sits down with artist and author Maureen Burdock to explore Sleepless Planet, a graphic novel that captures what so many women, leaders, and humans have been quietly carrying: anxiety, relentless thinking, and the emotional weight that robs us of rest.
Together, they dive into:
The real stories behind Sleepless Planet
How art becomes a pathway to truth, compassion, and regulation
The connection between storytelling and nervous system healing
Why this book is the perfect mindful gift for the holidays
The intersection of creativity, grief, and resilience
This episode feels like a deep breath for anyone who’s been performing calm on the outside while swirling on the inside.
And, because timing is everything, consider this your sign: Sleepless Planet makes a meaningful Christmas gift for the women in your life who need to feel seen.
