Ep. 69 The Importance of Rest with Kaley Medina

Send us a MessageWe've all heard about the importance of rest. And yet, many (or maybe even most) of us feel like we struggle to get enough of it.   Most people think rest synonymous with sleep. In fact, they serve somewhat different functions - both incredibly important to our overall functioning.While both rest and sleep support your mental, emotional and physical health, rest also soothes, calms and regulates your nervous system. Whereas sleep gives your body (and brain) time to repair itself.Learning how to incorporate more rest into your already busy schedule is key to better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, and reduced stress.In this episode, Kim & Louise are joined by Kaley Medina. Kaley is a Certified Sleep Consultant in Dallas, TX helping babies and families get the rest they need by using gentle sleep training methods. They dive into what creates rest and how to encourage sleep, even when those zzz's feel elusive.You can learn more about Kaley at:https://www.livelovesleep.comhttps://facebook.com/livelovesleephttps://instagram.com/baby.sleep.helphttps://www.linkedin.com/company/live-love-sleepShow Highlights0:00 Hellos and Welcome3:12 Celebrations4:15 Celebrating Women’s Pay Equity7:26 The Journey of a Sleep Coach14:47 How to Get More Out of Your Work?16:01 The Fight for Mommy-Work Balance21:46 What Happens to You When You're Sleep Deprived?23:17 The Importance of Rest and Sleep30:36 How to Get Your Child to Sleep?44:41 The Power of Routines47:46 How to Get Enough Sleep#yourkickasscareer #worklife #career #careerdevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #mindset #inspiration #rest #restoration #restore #resting #restorative #sleep #sleeptime #sleepwell #sleeptightConnect with us directly:You can find Kim at https://www.kimromain.com, as well as on LinkedIn @kimromain and on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok @thekimromainYou can find all things Louise here.Wanna get started on crafting your own kickass career?
