What’s your to-do list like? If you’re similar to me, it’s overflowing non-stop. I thought life was supposed to ease up as everyone got older, but I find that this is a myth. I used to be the person who had to accomplish EVERYTHING in ONE DAY on that list. And that meant no matter… Continue reading The Stress of Daily Tasks

Sleep Struggles in Perimenopause
I'm continuing with my theme on sleep. I'm trying to establish some new healthy habits in my life, and sleep is one of the top priorities for me.

Feeling the need to nap during the day? Deal with racing thoughts at night? I have both my hands raised and waving in the air! This is my dog.....if… Continue reading Sleep Struggles
Sweat Dreams, Sleep Tight
We spend up to one-third of our lives sleeping. Sometimes that sleep isn't always as restful as it should be, so many people have forgotten what it feels like to be TRULY well-rested. According to an article from The National Sleep Foundation, adults between the ages of 26 and 64 need between seven to nine… Continue reading Sweat Dreams, Sleep Tight
