  • 198. Solving Your Family's Sleep Problems for Good with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown
    Jan 22 2025

    In this episode, we discuss that all-important (but at times, all-elusive) thing that every human from 0 to 99 needs every single day: sleep.

    If you’re a mom who struggles with sleep or has a kiddo who struggles with sleep; if you’ve tried everything from bedtime routines to sleep aids, but nothing seems to work; if mornings are a battle, and you’re constantly dealing with an overtired, cranky child (or self!), tune in. You won't want to miss hearing Nikki's conversation with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, who is on a mission to help parents and their children prioritize sleep to achieve optimal health and live to their fullest potential.

    Dr. Afolabi-Brown is the founder of RestfulSleepMD, where she helps high-achieving professionals and their children change their relationship with sleep so they can move from being drained and exhausted to thriving in their families, careers, and relationships.

    Connect with her on her website, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, and be sure to check out her book, Beyond Tired—A Sleep Physician’s Guide to Solving Your Child’s Sleep Problems for Good.*

    Whether you’re a mom who works outside the home or a stay-at-home mom, every single day, you perform essential tasks that sustain your household (and your workplace).

    Tune in to hear Nikki's fascinating conversation with Dr. Doreen MacAulay and Dr. Janelle Wells, two moms and university professors who are propelling others to re-examine and transform how invisible work is perceived, recognized, and rewarded, both within families and in the workplace.
