Show Notes
Ever find yourself staring at the ceiling at 3 AM, brain racing, knowing you should be sleeping but somehow can’t? Same. Sleep struggles hit differently when hormones, stress, and life’s mental to-do list start getting in the way. I’ve done all the things—dark room, no screens, evening wind-down routines—but sometimes, it’s not enough.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually helped me sleep better, from the impact of perimenopause to the unexpected mindset shifts that finally made a difference. Whether you’re waking up in the middle of the night, struggling with stress-induced insomnia, or just trying to figure out why sleep feels harder than it used to, this episode is packed with real talk and practical strategies.
Because sleep isn’t just about sleep—it’s about hormones, stress, and the way we train our brains. And if you’re feeling exhausted, it’s time for a new approach.
