In this episode Shea is joined by Registered Nurse and Dermal Therapist Madilyn Wolens also known as The Functional Nurse. Tune in as they cover the benefits of a good night's sleep and how this affects the skin.

Menopause is a journey with no clear start or end point, odd diversions, and an estimated time of arrival that could span years. It can be tricky to navigate without the knowledge of exactly what is going on hormonally inside your body throughout each stage.

On this episode of Sleep By Shea, Meah Robertson, accredited naturopath and founder of Fem21, joins Shea to chat about hormones throughout the various stages of menopause, how they affect your sleep, and ways you can restore the balance for optimal health and wellbeing.

Has your company placed an increased focus on wellbeing in the last few years? If you've noticed an increase in wellbeing programs in the workplace, you wouldn't be the first. Sleep, fatigue and burnout are becoming more of a commonality in the workplace than ever before, and are becoming a major concern for businesses. Throw in a pandemic, on top of an already busy workload, and employees are experiencing huge amounts of stress that are contributing to poor sleep quality and overall health. Statistically, those who are worst affected are those in workplace leadership positions. In this episode of Sleep By Shea, Shea is joined by The Banyans CEO, Ruth Limkin. Ruth is a Certified Professional Behavioural Analyst, Professional Emotional Quotient Analyst and Professional Motivators Analyst, with extensive experience leading organisations that contribute to health and wellbeing. Ruth and Shea talk about the value of sleep for professionals, how businesses are more concerned with employee wellbeing, why leaders in the workplace have a tendency to skimp on sleep and the social factors that may contribute to this. Ruth also speaks about the changes she's made in her own life to improve sleep and why she started prioritising her wellbeing over work.
