About This Podcast

What's keeping you up at night? Certified Sleep Consultant and Stress Management Educator Alanna McGinn is here to help! As a mom of three teenagers navigating her own messy mid-life, she knows firsthand that a good night's sleep is a fundamental piece of the puzzle. Midlife can bring on major life transitions like career shifts, relationship changes, and don't get us started on menopause. What if you suddenly became a full-time caregiver to a parent? What if you found yourself single after a twenty year marriage? What if you're forced to reinvent yourself because you lost a job, a loved one, or an investment? Any midlife event CAN disrupt your sleep. But, it doesn't have to be a time of crisis. Let's think of midlife as a time of self-discovery, growth, and empowerment all while striving towards better sleep. This podcast will cover all and any topics that keep you up at night. Let this be your midlife safe space; we'll share personal stories, speak to experts, and reroute this rollercoaster together. Let's develop a better understanding of our emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental health needs. Through these conversations and teachable moments, we can rewrite our midlife stories and give our sleep a full edit. It's never too late to hit backspace on the bad habits, and command a more peaceful midlife chapter. Don't sleep on this podcast! Find new episodes of The Bedtime Edit every other Monday.
