Sleep has been called our superpower. And for busy moms who are working and building businesses and doing ALL the things while raising kids, it can easily become something we minimize in the name of productivity and putting the needs of the humans we’re taking care of first.

Do you sleep well? Do you feel refreshed and recharged when you wake up in the morning, or sluggish and grumpy?

Do you have a hard time getting to sleep? Staying asleep?

Do you stay up late getting things done when the rest of your house is sleeping and end up sacrificing your rest because of it?

In this episode, we’re talking about sleep because the research showing the toll that not getting quality sleep takes on our minds and bodies is staggering. It needs our attention.

Today, we’re talking about why we need it, how it works and how we can get more of it. And, in planning this episode for you, I consulted my friend and expert sleep coach Brittney Stefanic, and I’m going to share some insight from her regarding how our thoughts influence our sleep and what we can do about it.
