This is how less sleep affects your chances of success

Jalene Szuba spent 20 years producing high-stakes corporate events, including the Olympics, before burnout and a personal health crisis forced her to stop and ask a harder question: what did she actually want her life to look like?At 50, she went back to school, became a board-certified health and wellness coach, and built Happiness Anchor, a practice focused on sleep, energy, and sustainable behaviour change. She now works with Tulane University on clinical research into how people actually change their habits, not just their intentions.In this conversation, Jalene and Martin cover the difference between a doctor and a coach and why you need both, the hidden commitment framework that explains why willpower is almost never the real problem, what your brain is physically doing while you sleep and why consistently skipping it is more dangerous than most people realise, why you can't make up for lost sleep on weekends, what sleep paralysis actually is and why it's nothing to fear, and a simple 30-second breathing technique that resets your nervous system anywhere, anytime.Jalene also talks openly about losing her mother suddenly, navigating serious debt, and how shifting perspective, not positive thinking, but genuinely reframing the story, was what got her through.Calm, grounded, and full of things you'll actually use.
