In today's episode of the Virtual Sixfigure Mom Podcast, Karese Laguerre dives into the importance of sleep and how it impacts the household overall.

"I like to say that as a mom, I feel like we all kind of give the highlight reel when somebody asks, how is everything? How is a little Timmy? Or whatever. And I did that too. For a long time. I was saying everything's good. This one's in soccer or that one's doing a dance recital or whatever. But really I had a whole lot of things going on in my home that I wasn't talking about because there's some internal shame with that I think we all bear as parents. "

Here's what Karese Laguerre and I cover:
1. The importance of sleep for overall health and well-being
2. The impact of sleep on brain function and development
3. The importance of good sleep hygiene practices

Karese Laguerre is a registered dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist at The Myo Spot. She transitioned to myofunctional therapy after realizing that many of her children's health issues were stemming from the same thing: how they were breathing and using their oral facial muscles. Karese is passionate about helping others transform their sleep and improve their overall health.

Quotes:
"When we talk about over the counter, we're talking about melatonin a lot, whole lot of things that we could say about melatonin. First of all, these over the counter supplements, we never know 100% what's in them."

"The first step is really to start with your sleep, optimize your sleep, really get that going well, you'll find yourself more productive and you'll really find yourself able to achieve significantly more."
