    Did you know you’ll spend about a third of your life sleeping? At least, that’s the goal, but for most of us, adequate sleep is elusive. Sleep is one of the most vital pillars of health, yet it’s often overlooked. The truth is, many of us—especially kids and teens—aren’t getting nearly enough rest. In this episode, I’m joined by a sleep expert to uncover the fascinating science behind sleep and why it’s essential for your well-being. Here’s what we’ll explore: The science of sleep: What’s really happening in your brain and body?Why sleep matters: How it shapes your physical and emotional health. The barriers to good sleep: What’s stealing your Zzz’s—and how to fight back. Protecting young sleepers: Why kids and teens need sleep more than ever, and how parents can help. This episode is your wake-up call to prioritize better sleep—for you and your family. Coming up in the next episode of the series: I’ll dive into the frustrating condition of insomnia and explore how to address it using a powerful approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

    Don't Wreck It! 5 Keys to Keeping Your Relationship on the Rails

    We've all heard some of the basic advice for keeping a long-term relationship alive. “Don't go to bed angry.” “You have to resolve every conflict.” “Love is all you need.” (according to the Beatles) While none of these are accurate, the latter point, sadly, is especially off the mark. Love is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for a satisfying relationship. We have to have a whole lot more than that to keep a relationship on the rails. So, what DO we need? Listen in as Kyrie shares her top five pieces of advice in this episode, based around John Gottman’s research, attachment theory, and her own observations as a therapist and as a human. Sneak Peak at the 5 Keys: * Remember, you used to like this person! * You need a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions. * You have to care about what your partner wants. * Get your own house in order. * Know that relationships are attachment opportunities. In the episode, Kyrie mentions a research study known as the Still Face Experiment (Dr. Ed Tronick, 1975).

    Detoxifying Shame, with guest Michael Heady

We talk about the differences between healthy shame and toxic shame, common behavioral responses, and how to change our relationship with this emotion so that it is instructive rather than destructive.
