The Sleep Episode: Small Shifts That Can Transform Your Nights (and Your Life)


Listen Later

Can’t sleep… even though you’re bone tired?

I get it — and so does today’s guest, Khaliah O’Guillory, certified sleep coach and founder of Nap Bar. Whether your insomnia or sleep issues are tied to stress, fertility struggles, burnout, or just a brain that won’t switch off… this episode is here to give you both comfort and actual tools to help.

We talk about:

  • What to do in those dreaded 2am wide-awake moments

  • The “don’t look at the clock” rule (seriously, stop doing that)

  • How to stop putting pressure on sleep so you can actually… sleep

  • What segmented sleep is and why it might be a game-changer for you

  • The 10-3-2-1-0 method for better sleep hygiene (even if you’re a night owl)

  • The surprising impact of joy and true rest on your health + resilience

    We also explore the deeper stuff — like how rest isn’t just about sleep, but about reclaiming who you are when life feels overwhelming. If you’ve been feeling like a shell of yourself, or you’re trying to “push through” exhaustion (hello, type-A energy), this is your gentle invitation to pause and rethink what your body really needs right now.

    Khalia’s blend of infectious positive energy, science, soul and seriously practical advice makes this one of the most grounding and encouraging conversations I’ve had in a long time. Come for the sleep tips, stay for the reminder that you’re a dope human who deserves rest.
