Ever feel like those trendy wellness hacks aren't giving you the results you want? That's probably because you're overlooking some far more basic – and powerful – fundamentals in your daily life that when done right, can unlock the key to sorting out nearly every other area of your life. That's right: sleeping, drinking water, and breathing. Sounds too simple, right?
Today I'm diving deep into these fundamentals with Dr. Michael Breus, known worldwide as The Sleep Doctor. He's here to reveal how these three basic behaviors can revolutionize your health – and why so many of us are doing them wrong without even knowing it. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the latest wellness trends, exhausted from chasing the next big thing, or just plain tired of being tired, this conversation is your wake-up call. Whether you're dealing with fatigue, stress, brain fog, or just feeling stuck in your wellness journey, Dr. Breus shares practical, easy-to-implement strategies that will change how you think about health. From understanding your sleep chronotype to learning the proper way to hydrate and breathe, we're getting back to basics in the most powerful way.
WE DISCUSS
(00:01:35): Why wellness has gotten too complicated and how to simplify it
(00:13:45): Understanding your sleep chronotype (Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin)
(00:24:08): How to enjoy alcohol without destroying your sleep
(00:29:34): The "Power Down Hour" technique for better sleep

It's Thanksgiving week, which means there's a good chance you're thinking about everything else besides giving OR thanks. Stressing about the army of guests swarming your house, or aggravated by horrendous holiday shopping and travel. Let's be real, it can be a glass-half empty kind of week (or make that a glass completely empty, thanks to your crazy cousin's political rants across the table). Well, in this episode I want to get us back to a glass runneth over mentality, so I'm sharing a short gratitude meditation that will help you press reset and get grounded in all that's good in the world. And here's the beautiful thing about gratitude — it's like a muscle we can strengthen, even (or especially) when life feels turbulent. Think of it as your internal holiday survival kit. And guess what? Not only is gratitude contagious, the more you practice it, the more you have to be grateful for. That's right, your abundance multiplies. This practice will help you move beyond surface-level thankfulness into deeper appreciation — the kind that can transform our entire experience of these holidays or any season.

I couldn't think of a better guest to unpack this with me than my old friend Terri Cole. I've sought her advice for years and after today you will too.

It's a powerful wake-up call to how and why we undermine the people we care about by overdoing, over-fixing, and playing the hero––a behavior that she refers to as "high functioning codependency." And most importantly, she lays out a clear roadmap for breaking out of this cycle and towards more balanced and rewarding relationships––with others and with ourselves. So tune in fellow control-freaks and people-pleasers, this episode is for you!
WE DISCUSS:
-(02:05): Defining high-functioning codependency
-(05:05): The fine line between caring and meddling

- Has life knocked you down? Pick yourself back up with my FREE Hot Mess Recovery Kit
No matter how hard you try, you just can't predict how you'll respond to the loss of a loved one. If you're like my husband Brian, you might experience a "tech rage" when the devices we rely on inevitably fail us in the midst of the grieving process. There's no right or wrong way to react, and giving yourself that grace is key. Today, I sit down with Brian to chat about our responses to the recent loss of his mother.
We talk about the 3 specific ways we reacted, how to approach these energy shifts with curiosity, and why we need to allow all emotions – rage, sadness, humor – to be present in the healing process. We also take a moment to reflect on midwestern jello salad and our favorite space facts because we need moments for those things too.
WE DISCUSS:
- (8:06) An action response to grief and staying busy to cope
- (14:55) Finding humor throughout the healing process
- (19:31) Our favorite mantra for grounding and connecting to self
