7: Mind Your Sleep - Shifting Your Mindset for Better Sleep with Catherine Wright, Sleep Coach & Consultant

Do you ever feel anxious about going to bed because you’re worried you won’t sleep well? Do you worry when you wake up in the night about how you’ll feel or function the next day if you don’t get enough sleep?

Welcome to the world of sleep catastrophe - convincing yourself that you’ve always been and still are a terrible sleeper.

The good news is that you can change that!

This episode with Catherine Wright, certified sleep coach and educator, is all about shifting your mindset to get better sleep.

Catherine explains how as women, we need to tap into our “being” not just our “doing” selves to surrender into sleep, and how sleep is the ultimate expression of self care. We talk about setting boundaries, maintaining value in ourselves even when we’re not being productive and are resting, and how sleep is the ultimate productivity and performance enhancer.

Bio: 

Catherine is a lifelong lover of sleep.  Starting in early childhood, she discovered sleep was a stabilizing force in her life, something to protect to keep her grounded and happy.

Almost a decade ago, after becoming a Mom and bumping up against the realities of sleep deprivation,  she evolved her practice as a birth doula and shiatsu therapist into a sleep coaching practice – supporting other new families on this frontier.  Her practice has since blossomed again, and she now also works with school aged kids, teens and adults.

Catherine’s soulful approach to sleep is evidence based and integrates cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, sleep science, and mindset work.  She is a certified sleep coach and educator, and founder of Recoop (www.recoop.care).
