"Can we talk" anxiety is VERY real (and how to overcome it)
You have a missed call and a follow up text .... "call me back". Suddenly your body goes into fight or flight mode. We put off calling them back and talk ourselves down from a panic attack... Only to finally return the call and find out our panic was for nothing! Let’s explore how to ease off the anxiety accelerator with advice from psychologist Vi-An Le Nguyen.

Let's talk about "sleep debt"
Sleep debt is the difference between the sleep we GET and what we actually NEED. For example, if your body needs eight hours of sleep per night, but you only get six — you have two hours of sleep debt. The good news is, knowledge is power. When you know about sleep debt, you can make smarter choices. So let’s teach you how to make those smart sleep choices Links ‘Sleep Debt: Can You Catch up on Sleep?’ | Sleep Foundation - https://bit.ly/sleepdebt-sleepfoundation.
