Kristen has a way of striking up a great rapport with each of her interviewees and then asking them all the right questions. The scope extends well beyond sleep but keeps to the general theme of living a well-balanced life that reflects your values and passions.

About so much more than better sleep….this podcast has great interviews with a broad array of people about unplugging, revitalizing, slowing down, filling up more, and leading the life you want to be living! Love it!
