Ep 82. Wellbeing to Sleep Well with Elaine

Joining Alison in this episode is Elaine Mitchell, Project Officer for the Lincolnshire Sleep Hub. Alison first met Elaine back in 2024 while organising that year’s It’s All About People Conference, so this podcast is very much a reunion and a chance to catch up on everything Elaine has been working on since. Many people who met Elaine at the conference still talk about The Sleep Charity, and it’s wonderful to hear how many connections she made on that day which have since grown into events, activities, and support for people struggling with sleep. Elaine speaks with real passion about the power of sleep and how deeply it influences our physical and emotional wellbeing. She also highlights how our workforce can boost their confidence and understanding by taking part in the Sleep Talker training (with new dates coming soon!). Throughout the conversation, Elaine shares inspiring stories of individuals she’s supported - simple conversations that led to meaningful improvements in sleep patterns and overall wellbeing. Have a listen and discover what you can learn about sleep. We promise this is one sleep-related session that definitely won’t send you to sleep! Useful links: The Sleep Charity Lincolnshire Sleep Hub
