How many Monday’s do you have left to live your life?  

It might sound morbid, but it’s not a threat—it's motivation. A realization of reality, even. Your unlived dreams are waiting for you to take a step towards them, and they’re losing their patience.  

This week, Tori sits down with Jodi Wellman, author of You Only Die Once and founder of the 4,000 Mondays movement, to explore what it truly means to live with depth in midlife—especially when the world insists on telling you there are things more important than your aspirations, or your hobbies, or even just your personal joy.  

Together, they unravel the thought loops that dull our inner light—fueling our refusal to take control of our changing bodies, our identity shifts, and our quiet ache for something more.  

Jodi teaches us to give ourselves something to look forward to. 

Tune in to extend yourself that gift.

How can you dream any bigger when your brain won’t even let you rest? 

In this episode of The Complete Woman, Tori Poulter sits down with wellness expert Jesse Allen to unpack the most overlooked pillar of health: quality sleep—not as a luxury, but as a necessary biological rhythm.  

Together, they dive into the deep science of sleep cycles, the emotional weight of the sleepless woman, and the practical, often-forgotten rituals that can transform your nights from restless to restorative. From morning sunlight to magnesium, bedtime routines to late-night cravings, this conversation bridges modern neuroscience with simple steps towards self-care—and calls us to remember: you are not lazy, you are likely just tired. 

You’ll learn why hot flashes, sugar cravings, and even your “snooze” button are part of a bigger story—the story of how you’re showing up for yourself every day.  

Caffeine delays melatonin. Alcohol disrupts REM. But you—you—can disrupt the whole system by letting your dreams do the heavy lifting.
