Listen Later

If you’re exhausted but wired, falling asleep late and waking up tired, this episode is for you. Sleep isn’t just about rest — it’s the foundation for focus, emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term health. In this episode, we explore why high-achieving women often sacrifice sleep first, why that backfires, and how three small, realistic shifts can dramatically improve sleep quality without overhauling your life.
