We’ve all been told to “listen to your body” — but what does that actually mean when you’re leading a company, juggling responsibilities, and navigating the invisible pressure to keep proving yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Monica Le Baron, MBA — bestselling author, sleep expert, and creator of the Sleep Simplified method. After burning out in corporate and healing herself from insomnia, chronic pain, and anxiety, Monica has helped hundreds of ambitious women reclaim their energy and get better sleep in 30 days or less. Her work has been featured in Spirituality & Health, Telemundo, Healthy Woman, and Insight Timer, and her voice is a grounded reminder that rest is not a reward — it’s a requirement.

We talk about unhooking from the “I’m only valuable when I’m productive” loop, how to repattern your nervous system (without a 2-hour morning routine), and why your body will always tell you the truth — especially if you’re willing to listen outside of your inbox. If you’ve been feeling the pull to do business differently, this conversation is your signal to start where you are… and let your body lead the way.
