Sponsor for this episode: Troscriptions: Looking for more focus, calm, better sleep, or just that extra spark of energy to keep up with your people? I recently discovered Troscriptions—a science-backed, physician-formulated company using something called a buccal troche. It’s a tiny dissolvable lozenge you tuck between your cheek and gum, and it works fast—like 15 to 30 minutes fast. My favorite is Tro Blue Cannatine, their clean, clinical-grade focus blend that helps me go from mom-mode to podcast-mode with clarity and confidence.
