Trazodone Is Not a Sleeping Pill—Here’s What You Need to Know

Ep. 93 Have you been prescribed Trazodone to help you sleep? You may be surprised to learn it was never designed as a sleeping pill—it’s actually an antidepressant being used off-label for insomnia. In this episode of The Doze Podcast, sleep health educator Soda Kuczkowski explains why Trazodone often falls short, what the American Academy of Sleep Medicine really recommends, and which evidence-based solutions can restore your natural sleep. What's Inside? Trazodone is not FDA-approved for insomnia and isn’t recommended as a first-line treatment. CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is the gold standard for lasting results. Natural supports like GABA and glycine can help regulate sleep without prescription side effects. Seeing a sleep specialist is critical for uncovering root causes and creating a personalized plan. “If your sleep plan begins and ends with Trazodone, you’re not receiving evidence-based care.” 🎧 Recommended Episode: Ep. 2 :Your Doctor doesn't sleep well either Ep. 9: Diagnosing Sleep Disorders at Home: Your Easy Guide 🔗 www.startwithsleep.com 🔗⁠ www.thedoze.co Chapters: 0:00 – Long-Term Trazodone Use: What You Need to Know 1:29 – Trazodone for Sleep?

Why I Said Yes to Being a Single Foster Parent

Ep. 2 For Monique Burney, the desire to become a foster mom came from personal experience—she grew up in foster care herself and understood the power of keeping siblings together. What she didn’t know was whether she qualified to do it on her own as a single parent.

When the RFP is Wrote for You! The Reality of Government Contracting

Ep. 12 In government contracting, the biggest deals aren’t won by who submits the longest proposal—they’re won by who built the right relationships long before the RFP ever dropped. In this episode of Elevating Enterprise, Jazzy T and RJ Williams sit down with Nick Lopez, CEO of Prosal, to unpack how AI is changing the game for small and mid-sized enterprises, not by replacing human connection, but by strengthening it. This conversation explores how intelligent research, market mapping, and relationship-driven strategy help SMEs stop chasing opportunities they were never positioned to win, and start showing up early, informed, and credible with the people who matter. Key Takeaways: Why relationships win contracts—not last-minute proposals How AI helps SMEs identify who to talk to and when How most RFPs are written for someone long before they’re released TTC (Time Talking to Customer) as a business development metric How to shift from vendor to trusted partner before competition even begins Because success isn’t overnight. It’s strategic. About the Guest: Nick Lopez is the Co-Founder & CEO of Prosal, an AI-powered capture intelligence platform helping government contractors identify, shape, and win opportunities earlier in the procurement process. A former Lockheed Martin engineer, Nick brings firsthand experience in defense contracting and is focused on modernizing business development by prioritizing relationships, strategy, and actionable intelligence over reactive RFP chasing. 🔗 Connect with Nick Website: https://prosal.com LinkedIn: Nicholas Lopez Email: nick@prosal.com Chapters: 00:00 – The Old Way Is Broken 01:22 – Meet Prosal: “ChatGPT, but Trained for Government Contracting” 03:27 – The Truth About RFPs Written for Someone Else 05:08 – RFIs, Market Research & How Relationships Shape Outcomes 06:23 – Why Relationships Win Contracts 09:03 – People Buy From People: Mapping the Human Side of Procurement 11:17 – How Prosal Guides You Instead of Making You Guess 13:13 – FAR Changes, Faster Timelines & New Federal Opportunities 15:07 – CSOs, BAAs & Breaking Into Federal Work 21:01 – Teaming Partners, Implied Incumbents & Competitive Intelligence 25:29 – From Weeks to Hours: Compressing Decision-Making Timelines 26:02 – TTC Explained: The Only Metric That Actually Matters 30:31 – What a 33% Win Rate Really Means 37:26 – Final Word: Stop Selling.
