What if the key to better focus, stronger relationships, and sustainable success isn’t working harder — but sleeping better?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, a board-certified sleep physician and author of Beyond Tired. We explore the hidden costs of burnout, the myths we believe about rest, and how to reclaim sleep as a foundation for a thriving life.

Topics we cover:

• Why high-achievers burn out — and how to stop it
• Common sleep myths (like “I’m fine on 6 hours”)
• Snoring, sleep apnea, and when to get checked
• How poor rest affects mood, focus, and health
• Sleep strategies for families, teens, and business owners
• The surprising power of journaling and bedtime boundaries

If you’re feeling tired all the time or want to set a healthier rhythm, this episode is for you.
