Episode Summary: Why can’t you sleep even though you’re exhausted? Why is your brain fully awake at 2AM thinking about laundry, budgets, and who’s bringing snacks to the meeting? And is it actually fixable in midlife? In this episode, I’m joined by Carrie Cooper — psychotherapist of 25+ years and certified sleep science coach — to talk about why Gen-X women are so burned out, so wired, and so tired… and what you can do tonight to start sleeping again. We get real about hormones, overwhelm, snoring partners, late-night anxiety, caffeine, melatonin, magnesium, and the mental load women carry that keeps our brains “on” when our bodies are begging to shut down. Carrie also shares the simple routine she uses with clients to help them fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up like humans again (usually in about four sessions). If you’re a high-performing, midlife woman running on caffeine and attitude: this one’s for you. About today’s guest – Carrie Cooper Carrie Cooper is the founder of Sleep Solutions by Carrie, a virtual sleep coaching practice for adults. After decades as a therapist, she realized almost no one — especially midlife women — was actually sleeping. Now she helps clients reset their sleep using a mix of cognitive behavioral tools, nervous system work, and real-world strategy (not shame).

Link in show notes. 01:00 – Why Gen-X women are exhausted Carrie shares why so many women in midlife are chronically sleep-deprived — and why “I’m fine on 4 hours” is a lie we tell ourselves. 03:00 – The 2AM Group Chat How Carrie realized all her friends were awake in the middle of the night doing dishes, Peloton, work email, and stress-scrolling instead of sleeping. 04:30 – Sleep is not “self-care,” it’s survival How lack of sleep wrecks mood, hormones, metabolism, focus, patience, and decision-making. 06:30 – Night routine vs day habits Why great sleep doesn’t actually start at bedtime. Sunlight, movement, caffeine timing, and why wine is not helping like you think it is. 09:30 – Melatonin, magnesium, and “knocking yourself out” Carrie’s take on supplements, what helps you fall asleep vs what helps you stay asleep, and how to start relying less on “sleep crutches.” 11:00 – Why he falls asleep in 9 seconds and you don’t Mental load, invisible labor, calendar overwhelm, and why women’s brains don’t shut off when the lights go out. 12:30 – The 2–4AM wakeup Why you pop awake in that weird window, and when it’s actually normal (yes, really). 13:30 – The brain-dump trick Carrie’s favorite low-tech tool: how to get the to-do list, guilt, and “don’t forget” thoughts out of your head before bed so you’re not mentally working all night. 15:30 – Guilt, boundaries, and permission Why women feel selfish prioritizing rest — and why that has to change if you want your health, patience, and energy back. 19:00 – Can you really fix sleep in midlife? Yes. Carrie explains how most of her clients see results in about four sessions because your body wants to sleep. You just need to get out of battle mode with it.

The Money Remix: Own Your Financial Power Guest: Stephanie McCullough Website: sofiafinancial.com Description: Let’s talk money—without the shame spiral. In this episode of Gen X Remix, I sit down with Stephanie McCullough, founder of Sofia Financial and co-host of the Take Back Retirement podcast. She’s not your typical financial advisor—she’s one of Investopedia’s Top 10 Financial Advisors of 2023 and she’s on a mission to help women, especially those navigating retirement solo, feel confident with their cash. Stephanie breaks down why money isn’t just about math (hallelujah), how to find the right financial professional (no more dad-talk energy), and why your financial habits don’t define your worth. We get real about money shame, retirement fears, and how Gen X women can ditch the judgment and take back control of their finances—no spreadsheets required. If you’ve ever cringed at the thought of talking to a financial advisor or felt “behind” when it comes to your money…this is the warm, wise, and slightly spicy remix you didn’t know you needed. 🎧 Pop in those earbuds, grab a journal, and get ready to feel seen (and smarter). What We Cover: Stephanie’s remix story and how she went from “I can’t do this” to running her own firm Why money is emotional—not just numbers The financial blind spots that trip up women making career pivots Science-backed reasons why your brain makes money mistakes (it’s not just you!) How to actually find a financial advisor you trust Why judgment has no place in your money life The one step you can take today to feel more financially in control Stephanie’s Mic-Drop Advice: “The numbers aren’t judging you. That shame?

In this week’s 10-Minute Tip, Tabatha is calling out one of the most common traps early-stage entrepreneurs fall into: giving away too much for free. She’s not against generosity—she’s all for sharing value through strategic free offers like opt-ins, workshops, or short consult calls. But if you’ve been coaching your friends for free, giving away full programs “just for testimonials,” or feeling drained by people who never take action… this episode is for you. Tabatha shares her own behind-the-scenes story of burnout from overgiving, including what happened when she recorded a personalized job search video for someone who never even watched it. If you’re ready to stop being the free version of yourself and start getting paid for your expertise, tune in now. ✨ What You’ll Learn: Why “free” often backfires and attracts the wrong people The energetic and financial cost of overgiving How to shift into strategic generosity without burning out Why charging—even a small fee—changes the game How to create an offer ladder that respects your value 🔥 Featured Free Resource: 🎁 Corporate Escape Starter Kit Get clear on your idea, your offers, and your path out of corporate. 👉 Grab the free kit here 💬 Let’s Connect: 📸 Instagram: @the_corporateescape_sherpa 💼 LinkedIn: Tabatha Jones 📧 Contact: [email protected] Current Offers: Access HERE
