Beyond Performance - Sleep as the Ultimate Recovery Tool
Ep. 85 What if the key to real healing isn’t another supplement or strategy—but simply reclaiming your right to rest?
In this episode, I step back from the performance hype and share some of my personal sleep journey from the sleepless chaos of a Vegas bachelorette trip to the unexpected burnout I faced while working in sleep medicine, to the eye-opening reality of motherhood without support. Even though sleep has always been my anchor, I have learned firsthand that it is not about perfection, gadgets, or control. It is about recovery. Healing. And maintaining your rhythm through life’s changes.
I also open up about common misconceptions, like how I even used melatonin before I really understood what it did to my sleep. And I dive into why obsessing over trackers and perfection might actually sabotage your ability to sleep. You will learn how the choices you make each day—from the moment you wake up to how you manage your mental load—can either support or sabotage your sleep.
Whether you’re a busy parent, shift worker, or just trying to sleep better—this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways:
• Sleep is your natural recovery system—not just a performance tool
• Melatonin regulates your rhythm; it doesn’t knock you out
• Daily habits, not perfection, set the stage for true rest
• Mindset matters more than gadgets when it comes to healing sleep
💬 "Sleep is not about perfection. It's about creating space for restoration."
