In our newsletter, we're sharing tips and new ways of thinking to help you get closer to your priorities and interests and let go of whatever isn't working.
Our newsletter is like an extension of the podcast.
It's this intimate space where we get to communicate directly with you, our listeners.

How you sleeping these days?
You getting enough shuteye?
Yeah.
I mean, I guess we could all be sleeping a little better, right?
I feel like I do it to myself.
I know you're not supposed to read the phone in bed.
It's just so hard.
But hey, new year seems like a good time to get this whole slumbering thing under control.
I mean, sleep has a huge impact on our health.
It helps our brains function.
It supports our immune system, protects against heart disease and diabetes.
And without it, we would die, though, for something so important, we're never formally taught how to do it right.
