Midlife Matters

Today we're talking about a topic that literally keeps many women in the middle years up at night...sleep or really the lack of sleep! It's common for sleep changes to begin in your 30's and today Krista Cumming is going to share her sleep program designed for women in midlife. Join us as we discuss ways we all can learn to get a better night's rest!
