Sleep is sacred. Anyone who has struggled with sleep issues knows this to be true and how devastating and impactful on our lives it can be when sleep eludes us. Paul Bright, Certified Sleep Science Coach, offers some fantastic tips, tools and insight into the dark night of sleeplessness and how to move out of it.
Show Notes
Sleep is integral to our health as well as our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. So when we experience difficulty with our sleep we feel the impact throughout our days. There are many causes for sleep issues including anxiety, physiological issues, PTSD, hormonal imbalance, and so many more. With the complexity and importance of this topic, we could use an expert to help us out. A good friend of mine and previous co-worker, Paul Bright, is a Certified Sleep Science Coach who has made it the focus of his work to help guide those who are lost in the sleep disorder maze. On this episode, Paul and I enjoy catching up and exploring some root causes of sleep struggles, what good sleep hygiene is, and why sleep has the ultimate ROI. As a leadership coach, Paul also offers ideas about the most important qualities of a leader and how even the busiest of business leaders can still prioritize sleep.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
