In this episode of Sleep Like a Boss, I am joined by life and empowerment coach Shannon Kaiser to explore how bedtime rituals, mantras, and personalized practices can radically improve your sleep—and your life. Shannon opens up about her personal battle with sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, and high cortisol, and how these health challenges led her to create soul-centered strategies for rest and healing.

We dive into why so many women struggle to fall or stay asleep, the surprising science behind nighttime overthinking, and the deeper emotional and lifestyle factors that may be affecting your sleep.

Shannon also shares powerful tips from her book, 365 Happy Bedtime Mantras, to help you wind down, feel safe, and finally get the rest you deserve.

Whether you're tired of racing thoughts at night or searching for a more compassionate way to approach your wellness journey, this conversation is full of heart, healing, and practical tools.

We talk about:

Why your mind races at night (and how to calm it)
The emotional roots of sleep issues no one talks about
Rituals and mantras to try tonight for better rest
Why self-compassion is key to healing sleep struggles
