The Case For Better Sleep For High Achieving, Soul-Led Women

By Shea Ki

I had to learn the very hard way how critical sleep is to my well-being.

After surviving a horrible car-accident and healing from physical injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, PTSD grabbed a hold of me and didn't let go easily.

Nightmares kept me from sleeping much, which then had a cascading negative effect and caused more health issues.

Thankfully, amazing counselors and discovering the power of guided imagery meditations helped me re-train myself on how to deeply sleep.

But over the years, sleep issues still creep up for me, especially when my career and life journey are going through a super stressful time.

I've noticed this issue is common as well with the woman I coach, my friends, and members in my family.

We know we need to sleep well to be at our best. But when we notice we aren't getting those precious zzzzz's, it creates a frustrating loop of worry and more pressure on ourselves.

Restless nights become the "norm".

For this episode of Career & Life Momentum Chats, I get to sit down and discuss how to achieve better sleep with one of my new favorite experts on this subject.

But before I share Dr. Sarah Silverman's incredible work credentials and authority on this subject, I want you to know about her courage. She shares something very personal and brave in the first few minutes of this episode about why she continues to do this work and focus on women.

You will hear about a scary health and medical journey that she endured. This traumatizing chapter of her life is one significant reason she chose to improve her own relationship with sleep and well-being.

It is a moving story with powerful lessons learned that I won't soon forget. 

​Dr. Sarah Silverman is a Stanford-trained behavioral sleep medicine specialist, insomnia expert, and wellness consultant who is passionate about sleep health and holistic wellness.

She's the founder and CEO of ZzzHaus (“Sleep House”), a results-driven, online health consulting agency, which provides concierge holistic wellness coaching and consulting services. As a company focused on women’s sleep and circadian health optimization, ZzzHaus uses cutting-edge epigenetics testing, circadian science, and evidence-based protocols to maximize performance.

Dr. Sarah Silverman also created Sleep & Shine, a boutique sleep telehealth practice offering personalized and holistic sleep services. Notably, she’s an expert in Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line, drug-free treatment for adults with chronic insomnia.

Sarah believes that every human deserves quality sleep and is on a mission to make science-backed sleep information more accessible and easy to understand. 

So, settle in for an insightful discussion about that sometimes elusive, mysterious subject that we all want to master...but it often gets hijacked by our way-too-busy minds and the demands of life: 

GOOD SLEEP!

​This episode also pairs wonderfully with your favorite cozy blanket and a soothing cup of chamomile or lavender tea.

I hope you are as inspired by the "why" behind Sarah's work as I am. 

I am so grateful that Sarah took time out of her incredibly busy schedule to be a guest expert on this topic. Several women I have coached have been asking me to bring the subject of sleep to the show.

I also know it's an area many friends and family struggle with each day.

Let me know what you think of this episode by messaging me.
