Quiet My Mind Tonight includes three calming evening audios for €9." --- A BEDTIME RESET FOR WOMEN 40+ # Your body is tired. Your mind is still working. **Quiet My Mind Tonight** gives you three gentle guided audios to help you leave problem-solving mode, put down the day and settle into the night. **€9** Mini Reset one payment · no subscription Listen to Alina first Created and voiced by Alina 3 guided evening audios Use from your phone or laptop **Quiet My Mind Tonight · €9** Three guided audios · evening ritual · one payment See exactly what you receive This was made for the woman who... ## Looks capable on the outside—and feels completely full on the inside. **Her mind keeps working** Even when the house becomes quiet, you are still remembering, planning and solving. **She has lost touch with herself** You are present for everyone else, but lately you feel far away from your own life. **She is tired of “just relax”** You do not need another demand. You need someone to gently guide you out of the day. Calm Again begins exactly where you are. Your free daily reset ## When you need to see yourself again. There are days when you feel far away from the woman you know you are—not because she has disappeared, but because you have spent so much of yourself holding everything together. Press play when you want to reconnect, lift the energy you are carrying and remember the wonderful woman who is still there. When you feel far away from yourself. When your energy feels heavy. When you need to remember your worth. **Free to watch.** No email, no account and no payment. Find somewhere comfortable, turn on the sound and give yourself the next minute. Please do not watch while driving. A quiet moment with Alina ## Let me sit with you for a moment. If today has felt like too much, press play. You do not have to explain how you feel or make yourself calm. Just listen. I made this for the moment when you need someone to say: you can stop now. When today has felt like too much **You Can Stop Now** No email. No payment. Listen whenever you need it. **If my voice feels right for you, continue with the complete evening reset.** Three guided recordings and the printable Evening Ritual. One payment, private access from your phone, no subscription. A softer approach ## You do not need another person telling you to “just relax.” You may have waited all day to be alone—then discovered that being alone did not make your mind quiet. You are still remembering, worrying, preparing and feeling what everybody else brought into the room. You are not bad at resting. You may simply have been responsible for too long without a real ending to the day. **01** **Made for the actual evening**Listen in bed, on the sofa or after closing the kitchen. **02** **Words that sound like a real woman**No perfect-life language and no pressure to perform calm. **03** **A voice you can return to**Use the same guidance whenever the day follows you into the night. The short answer ## Why am I exhausted but my mind will not stop at night? Because your body may have reached the end of its energy while your mind is still on duty. The lights are off, but you are replaying a conversation, remembering what you forgot and preparing for problems that have not happened. You do not need to force every thought away. You need a gentle way to tell yourself: nothing else has to be solved tonight. [**Read the real-life guide and five-minute practice →**](https://thesoftspoken.com/guides/tired-but-mind-wont-stop-at-night) Written by Alina from lived experience Reviewed 26 September 2026 General wellbeing information—not medical advice Choose what you need tonight ## Begin with the sentence that makes you think, “Yes. That is me.” You do not need the correct label for what you feel. Choose the most honest sentence and let that be enough for tonight. My body stopped. My mind did not.

Created from lived experience ## I did not create this because I had mastered calm. Alina · Founder and voice of SoftSpoken I have spent much of my life trying to do everything well—sometimes perfectly—only to reach the end of the day feeling that nothing I did was quite enough. I long for peace and balance, but the truth is that my life can feel chaotic too. I know what it is like to carry too much, to question myself and to wake up, look in the mirror and not completely recognise the woman looking back at me. But I also know how it feels to find something inside myself that helps me rise again. Even when I feel lost or exhausted, I search for the small thread that can lead me back—a quiet moment, an honest thought or a gentle reminder that I have not disappeared. I may simply have been taking care of everything and everyone for too long. I created SoftSpoken from this real and imperfect place. Not because I have all the answers, but because I understand what it means to fall, rise and keep finding my way back to myself. My dream is to create a community where women feel safe enough to say what they are truly feeling—without pretending, explaining or worrying that they will be judged. A place where we can listen to one another, share what life really feels like and realise that we are not the only ones experiencing it. Sometimes, knowing that another woman has felt the same fear, exhaustion, confusion or hope is enough to make us feel less alone. That is what I want SoftSpoken to become: a quiet place where we feel understood, supported and gently reminded that we still belong to ourselves. Alina Founder and voice of SoftSpoken **01 · FEEL SEEN** Begin with words that sound like your real evening. **02 · LISTEN** Use the guidance in your own rhythm, without doing it perfectly. **03 · CONNECT** Share only as much as feels right—or simply know you are not alone. The founding community ## Three months inside SoftSpoken Circle Begin with seven guided evenings, then stay for eleven more weeks of gentle prompts, honest conversation and the comfort of being understood by women in the same season of life. This is a space where you are free to say how you really feel, connect with other women and share the impressions, thoughts and emotions that come up for you. You can speak, react or quietly read until you feel ready—there is no pressure to participate. Included with the €19 Founding Edition for the first 10 women. Group details are shared privately after joining. Join the first circle → **Seven guided days together** One gentle prompt each day—answer in one line or simply keep it to yourself. **Seven voice notes from Alina** A real voice beside you through the first week saying: I understand this feeling too. **Eleven weeks of connection** A weekly prompt and voice note, plus an optional group check-in—without pressure to keep up. **Only 10 founding women** Small enough to feel personal, calm and protected.

Before you begin ## A few gentle answers. Why does my mind keep racing when my body is tired? Physical tiredness and mental settling are not the same process. After a day of decisions, caregiving and problem-solving, the mind may continue reviewing unfinished thoughts even when the body is exhausted. If sleep problems are frequent or worrying, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Is Quiet My Mind Tonight a subscription? No. It is a one-time purchase for three guided evening audios that can be used from a phone, tablet or computer. Do I need meditation experience? No. The recordings are written for beginners and for women who find traditional meditation difficult. You only need somewhere comfortable to listen. Is this therapy or medical treatment? No. SoftSpoken provides general relaxation and wellbeing content. It does not diagnose, treat or replace professional medical or psychological support. How will I receive it? Your private access link is sent automatically to the email used at checkout, usually within a few minutes. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder and contact Alina. The files can be used on a phone, tablet or computer. How does SoftSpoken Circle work? The founding circle is a private three-month experience for the first 10 women choosing Calm Again.
