    Can’t I Just Sleep When I’m Dead? Debunking Bad Sleep Advice

    Can’t I Just Sleep When I’m Dead? Debunking Bad Sleep Advice

    As moms, we're hyper-focused on our kids getting enough sleep, because we know how vital it is to their health and mood. But as women? We're often up well past our bedtimes, rage-cleaning, trying to sneak in some time with our spouses, or binge-watching Bridgerton, as if we're super-women who can run our chaotic lives on willpower and coffee alone.
    If you know you're exhausted but just can't seem to get enough sleep, this episode is for you!
    Join us as we get honest about:
    How women need more sleep than men, and the amount of sleep needed can vary depending on the menstrual cycle.Why sufficient sleep is more important than that early-morning workout.How using coffee as an upper and wine as a downer does NOT constitute a healthy sleep planPractical tips for women to get better sleepWhy you need a sleep routineWhat time you need to go to bed to get good sleepWhy you need to go device-free before bed (it's not what you think!)The important mindset shift you need to make as a woman and a mother to get more sleep
    Plus, Andrea is in a MOOD; Jessica has mixed feelings about Bridgerton Season 2; and we're both shocked (but not shocked) at how little sleep the members of our Facebook Community are getting!
    Like this episode? Check out this one: BOUNDARIES! How to Identify, Set, and Defend Them (June 7, 2023) - because you might just need a boundary with yo-self in order to get enough sleep!

WE NEED THE DANS

Yo let’s hear straight from the Dans’ mouths! Will they speak with one Dan voice? Will they agree? Will they disagree? Will I confuse which Dan is married to which honest woman? So many questions and the only answer I’ll accept is Dan.

Grandma’s Review

I truly enjoy listening to Honest Women. Brings back so many memories raising my own family. It surfaces all the emotions of motherhood…good and bad. Fills my heart with the privilege of family. I also LOVE that it taps into my daughter’s world as a young mother. Let’s me peak into and try to understand her generational struggles and challenges. Thank you, Ladies!!!

Fresh, honest, practical

“Honest Women" is a breath of fresh air for those weary of the endless advice on self-improvement. This podcast offers a no b.s. space where women can connect and relate to the real, unfiltered experiences of modern womanhood. Hosted by two therapists, it features candid conversations filled with moments of recognition, genuine empathy. The hosts' professional backgrounds add depth to their discussions, but it's their authenticity and relatability that truly shine. "Honest Women" reminds us that, no matter what we’re going through, we are not alone. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking solidarity and real talk in the messiness of life.
