“Sleep is passive; we can't force it. If the body is safe to relax, it will eventually sleep.” - Annika Carroll

Many people experience sleep issues, and there are a number of different factors that contribute to low sleep quality. Then, whether it’s blood sugar dysregulation, gut imbalances, stress, or something else, once we start having a difficult time with our sleep, a lot of us start panicking and fear going to bed. That leads to a vicious cycle where the anxiety around sleep actually makes the issue worse.

Today, I’m excited to talk to Annika Carroll, a functional Sleep and Health Coach for high-achieving women and the owner of Sleep Like A Boss. Annika is committed to helping women in midlife take back control of their sleep, restore their energy, and avoid burnout so they can thrive both at work and in their personal lives. Her approach gets to the core of sleep struggles—tackling issues like hormone imbalances, gut health, and daily habits—because sleep problems are rarely just "in your head."

In this conversation, Annika and I discuss her journey with sleep disturbances, psychological and physiological factors affecting sleep, the role of diet and lifestyle, practical strategies for improving your sleep quality, why high-quality sleep is foundational to our overall health and well-being, and more. Enjoy the episode!
