I just got back from New York — the US Open, 20,000 steps a day, a birthday I never took for granted, and a husband who started coming down with something on day one of the trip. Two nights of terrible sleep later, I was staring at a sleep score I don't ever want to see again.
This one's a short, honest episode about the thing I protect harder than almost anything else in my life: my sleep. Not because I'm rigid (okay, Jeff might say I'm rigid), but because I've watched what happens to my body, my weight, my energy, and my immune system when I don't get it.
In this episode:
Why turning 61 hit differently for me and the family story behind why I started Well and Worthy Life in the first place
What I did the second Jeff started getting sick, including the one thing I now swear by whenever I've been exposed to something
The number I saw on my Oura Ring two nights in a row that made me completely rearrange who was sleeping where
Why I believe your night's sleep actually starts that morning and the very first thing I do when I get out of bed
My non-negotiables: the cutoff time, the temperature, the darkness, the supplements I added that finally deepened my deep sleep
Where my phone sleeps (spoiler: not in my room), and the rule I give my girlfriends before we share a hotel room
What I do when I'm lying there wide awake and can't shut my brain off
The pattern I kept running into with health coaching clients who couldn't lose weight — and how often it traced back to one thing
If you've been telling yourself you're just "not a good sleeper," I'd love for you to listen to this one with a notepad. There's almost always something in here you can start tonight.

If this resonated, share it with a friend who's been struggling to sleep — it helps more than you know. And make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss what's coming, including an episode with a girlfriend of mine I can't wait for you to meet.
Keep choosing what makes you feel well and worthy. 💛
