This episode is the perfect complement to episode 25 ("Creating An Impactful Morning Routine"), because it's hard to have one without the other. Your sleep greatly impacts how you feel in the morning and throughout your day, and the quality of sleep is often determined by your evening routine. In this episode I go into some of my top tips for promoting good sleep hygiene, why it's important, and how you can optimize this crucial 1/3 of your day.

On episode 26 of Well, Then, I have the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Amina Taha. I first met Amina when I took her yoga class in NYC, and immediately fell in love with her sweet and welcoming disposition (not to mention her stunning yoga practice). What struck me most about her story is that she didn't have a dance or yoga background, and actually didn't start yoga until her late 20's. And yet when you watch her, you can't help but be mesmerized by the graceful beauty with which she glides into advances asanas.
Amina shares about her yoga journey and some of the common misconceptions from non-yogis or newer practitioners, as well as how yoga truly is for everybody. We also chat about how her practice has changed as a mom, taking yoga in other languages, and how social media has changed yoga.

This solo episode of Well, Then is a deeper diver into the power of holistic nutrition and how it helped my hair re-grow.
Stress, inflammation, poor nutrition, hormone imbalance, and malabsorption are all really common reasons why someone might have issues with the health of their hair. It wasn’t that I started taking miracle hair gummy vitamins or just started wearing extensions to cover up the thinning (my hair is all mine, and the only time I’ve ever worn extensions was on stage for a couple of my fitness competitions). The solution was much less glamorous and less simple than that.
It took years of combining proper nutrition, supplementation, meditation, stress-management, holistic products, sleep hygiene, hormone balancing and patience before my hair got to a place where it felt really good again. In this episode I dive into some of the foods, supplements and self-care practices that helped my hair & health journey, and recommendations for you too.

In episode 21 we dive into the importance of habits and behavior change, and how to create sustainable and impactful change in your life. I break down some of the science and psychology of behavior change, how to make it stick, and how to really start to make your brain work for you rather than against you.
