Why Sleep Matters More Than You Think

Feeling exhausted, foggy, or stuck in a cycle of cravings and indecision? You’re not alone—and sleep might be the missing piece. In this episode, I share personal stories and science-backed insights on how sleep deprivation affects your relationships, memory, impulse control, and decision-making. But here’s the good news: these struggles aren’t permanent. When you start prioritizing rest, everything shifts.

If you find yourself lying in bed at night, unable to turn off your racing thoughts, you're not alone. So many of us get stuck replaying the day or worrying about tomorrow when all we want is to rest. That’s why I created a free sleep meditation designed specifically for women. It gently guides your mind away from stress and into a place of peace, ready for sleep.  You can download it now and start tonight—because you deserve deep, restful sleep.
