## Resource

Sleep is one of those things we all know we need, but actually protecting it through different seasons of business and life is where the real work begins. As practice owners and healthcare entrepreneurs, we're leading teams, making decisions, carrying stress, navigating motherhood, hormones, growth, money, and the pressure to keep showing up at a high level. That is why I asked Dr. Felicia Ivey, Founder and CEO of Sleep for Wellness, to come back to CEO Conversations™ and help us look at sleep in a deeper way. We talked about what sleep really does for your executive functioning, why Black women specifically need to pay attention to how sleep deprivation affects cognition, how cortisol and stress interrupt rest, and what we can do to build better sleep hygiene before we hit the seasons where sleep feels harder to come by.
