Guest: Jihane Farrell (Host of Lose Belly Fat After 40)
Between juggling work deadlines, homeschooling, and keeping up with family schedules, stress and poor sleep can quickly become a working homeschool mom’s default state. But chronic daily stress and poor sleep aren't just exhausting, they are triggering stubborn belly fat, draining your daily energy, and throwing your hormones out of balance.
In this episode, I am sitting down with health coach Jihane Farrell to answer a critical question: Can you actually beat stress and get great sleep while managing it all? Yes, you can. And it doesn't require a total lifestyle overhaul.
