This week Joy chats with Dr. Eric Korem, who has always been driven by a relentless pursuit of high performance as he's coached athletes from football players to Olympic athletes. As time progressed, that drive became a purpose — to improve the lives of others in ways they didn't know were possible. He did his PhD on sleep so he knows a thing or two about how to get better quality shut-eye and he's super passionate about helping others truly thrive.

If you want to learn more about how to get the best sleep of your life and boost your resilience to stress then you won't want to miss this episode. So settle in with a skin-nourishing cuppa tea and get your notebook ready–you'll want to make notes of his amazing advice!
