In this week in Chatting Over Chowder, we talk to Abby DesJardien. Abby DesJardien is a sleep evangelist who believes sleep is an act of empowerment. Through her podcast, challenges, 1:1 coaching, and courses, she teaches women entrepreneurs how to transform their businesses and lives through the power of sleep.  As a recovering workaholic and insomniac, she knows the struggle is real. She helps her clients go from exhausted and burnt out to rested and on top of their game. Abby lives in Seattle with her husband, three girls, her rescue dog, Harry Pawter, and her cat, Lola (she’s not a showgirl) .  When she’s not preaching about sleep, you can find her kayaking, reading a good book, and driving kids around in the minivan she swore she would never own.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How Abby manages to run her own business and stay rested
• Abby’s transition from speech therapist to sleep evangelist
• Why her kids have the potential to get away with literal murder
