What if the very thing you thought was helping you sleep was actually sabotaging your health and happiness?

Welcome to another episode of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast. I’m your host, Veronica Cisneros, LMFT. Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that affects every part of our lives but is often overlooked—sleep. Joining us is Morgan Adams, a holistic sleep coach who helps women transform their sleepless nights into restful, rejuvenating sleep experiences.

Morgan’s journey is inspiring. After struggling with insomnia and relying on prescription sleeping pills for nearly a decade, she found her way back to natural, healthy sleep. Today, she’s here to share her personal story, along with practical advice to help you reclaim your nights and improve your overall well-being.

For many of us, achieving restful sleep feels like a distant dream. But by focusing less on numbers and more on how we feel, we can start to make real progress. Whether it’s taking “mindfulness snacks” throughout the day, practicing constructive worrying, or being mindful of how poor sleep impacts our hunger, small changes can lead to big results.

Remember, restful sleep isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding what works for you and allowing yourself the space to truly unwind. Let’s prioritize our sleep so we can show up as our best selves each day.

Morgan Adams: Her Story—How She Overcame a Decade-Long Sleeping Pill Dependence and Reclaimed Her Sleep (and Health)

Morgan Adams found herself in the throes of sleepless nights in her mid-thirties after an unexpected crisis turned her world upside down. As a pharmaceutical sales rep, she couldn’t afford to be sleep-deprived, and the demands of her job left her desperate for rest. A physician-prescribed sleeping pill seemed like the perfect solution. In the pharmaceutical world, it wasn’t hard for her to get access to medication.

However, what Morgan didn’t know was that these sleeping pills weren’t helping her achieve restorative sleep. While they sedated her, they didn’t provide the rest her body and mind needed to recover. She often woke up groggy, disoriented, and found evidence of late-night snacking sessions she didn’t even remember. She was barely making it through her days, and it became clear that relying on these pills was doing more harm than good.

Despite the challenges, Morgan embarked on a journey to reclaim her sleep—and her health.
