Sunshine Circle Podcast

This week, host Marcia Michelle is joined by Dr. Sonja “Sam” Miller, a psychology professor at Hudson Valley Community College with over 30 years of teaching and clinical experience. Together they get into childhood trauma, the learned behaviors we carry into adulthood, and the resiliency that makes healing possible. Drawing on her work in health psychology and trauma-informed care, Dr. Miller offers insight and encouragement for anyone working through their past or supporting someone who is. 

In this episode of the Sunshine Circle Podcast, Marcia Michelle sits down with Dr. Chris Allen, known as Sleep Dr. Chris, for an honest conversation about trauma and how it shows up in our lives, including how it can affect our rest.

Dr. Chris shares practical, easy-to-use sleep tips to help you wind down, rest more deeply, and wake up feeling renewed. Whether you’re working through something heavy or just want better nights, this one is for you.

Pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and join the circle.
