Manage episode 482760979 series 3579491
In this episode, Gina and sleep expert Alanna McGinn get real about why managing stress is non-negotiable if you want to improve your sleep. They start by calling out the myth that a perfect bedtime routine is all you need—because if you're running on high stress, your body won’t let you rest, no matter how peaceful your bedroom is. Alanna explains how hidden stressors can show up as poor sleep, low motivation, or feeling “off” even when things seem fine. From daily noise and social media overload to intense workouts and strained relationships, she paints a clear picture of how stress adds up. Alanna also shares her “stress bucket” analogy, highlights her top three stress-busting tools, and walks through a practical bedtime routine that actually helps. The message? You don’t have to overhaul your life—just start with one thing. If sleep’s been a struggle, this episode is your wake-up call.
