Let’s talk about your sleep, my friends!
Check in with yourself real quick:
Do you sleep through the night consistently?
If you wake in the middle of the night do you fall back asleep easily?
Do you sleep well but still feel tired during the day?
Do you rely on coffee or sugar to get through your day?
Imagine for a sec how life could improve for you if you had better sleep; maybe you’d have more energy for the things you love, you’d think more clearly, or your health would improve.
Today’s episode is super personal for me: I share the heartbreak and turmoil I went through that ruptured my sleep cycle. I also share exactly how I rehabbed my relationship to sleep and found the power of deep and restorative rest again. I’ve been there during trauma, insomnia, sleepless nights, anxiety, and fear. I’ve been there and in this episode I share the science behind what happens while you sleep and some surprising facts about the impact of sleep on our kids and auto accidents.
And you’ll learn actions you can take tonight to start changing your relationship to sleep.
You deserve deep and restorative rest. Start now, I’m right there with you!
