Why does sleep suddenly feel so hard?

If you’re waking at 2:22 a.m. with a racing mind, lying there exhausted but wired, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar and deeply reassuring.

I unpack why so many high-performing women are struggling with sleep and why it’s not a personal failure. It’s biology colliding with modern life.

We explore the real drivers behind disrupted sleep, from hormonal shifts to cortisol overload, and why your brain won’t simply switch off on demand.

Most importantly, I share practical, science-backed strategies you can use in real time when sleep goes sideways and how to function the next day when the show must go on.

This is your permission slip to stop pushing through and start working with your biology, not against it.

Listen now.
