Ep. 77 What if your self-doubt isn’t a mindset issue—but a sleep issue?

You’re not overthinking because you’re weak—you’re under-rested.

In this powerful episode of the Doze Podcast, certified sleep coach Soda Kuczkowski reveals how sleep deprivation quietly sabotages your intuition, decision-making, and self-trust, especially for women carrying the weight of emotional labor. If you’re exhausted from second-guessing every choice, it’s time to stop blaming your mindset... and start healing your brain.

Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s mental recalibration.

A sleep-deprived brain defaults to people-pleasing.

REM sleep = Intuition Booster. Skipping it means you’re literally cutting yourself off from your inner wisdom.

Notable Quotes:

“A rested woman knows what she wants.”

“Sleep is a power move.”
