Just not a thing for me anymore.

But what happens with alcohol is we may get that initial sedative effect and then we may drop into a deep sleep, kind of like just drop it.

And then we wake up a few hours later, like having missed out on that great quality REM sleep.

Yeah, thank you for having me.

Honestly, I needed it.

I could not find a book out there that really spoke to me in terms of like something easy to digest that I could pick it up, get something out of it.

And I really wanted to create that.

So, yeah, the book is broken down into mind, body and spirit.

I've taken a lot of heat for some of the spirit ones from people who just wanted like just the body or just the mindset.

But I think all are really important when we're talking about how we manage our stress and anxiety.

Yeah.

So a lot of it has to do with just, you know, looking at, you know, what is stressing you out and acknowledging what you can and can't control.

I think that's a huge piece of the picture and one I've had to definitely deal with.

I have OCD.

I didn't find that out till my 30s.

But if I had known that about myself when I was much younger, I think it would have been easier to just look at like, OK, these are the things happening.

What can I actually do something about?

But also just, too, I think you have to really take stock and look at what's going on and, you know, how is that affecting you?

How's it showing up?

And let go what you can't control.
