You've heard me talk about sleep before — in Episode 17, I covered sleep cycles and circadian rhythms in detail. But today, we're going deeper into women's sleep health and exploring why sleep isn't just self-care — it's the ultimate leadership and wellness strategy.

In this episode, I'm shifting the conversation away from just sleep stages and focusing on how restorative sleep acts as your CEO reset button, recalibrating your hormones, brainpower, and emotional resilience every single night.

If you're a high-performing woman powering through exhaustion, relying on caffeine, or brushing off burnout as "normal," this episode will show you why sleep for high-achieving women is non-negotiable — and how optimizing it changes everything.

We'll cover:

• Sleep and hormone balance: why poor sleep disrupts your metabolism, drives cravings, and leads to fatigue and stubborn weight.

• How lack of sleep impacts decision-making, focus, and creativity.

• The hidden cost of sleep debt — and why "catching up" on weekends doesn't work.

• How stress sabotages deep sleep (and why willpower won't fix it).

• Practical, science-backed sleep tips for women that support your nervous system and help you sleep deeply, consistently.

• Why prioritizing sleep isn't a luxury — it's a business and wellness strategy for high-achieving women.

If your current health habits aren't giving you the energy or clarity you need, this episode is your wake-up call. Women's wellness and energy begin with one core habit: great sleep.
