Sweet Dreams & the Elusive Nature of Sleep: How a Good Night’s Rest Benefits Physical and Mental Health

If you’re like us and have ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. begging your body to go back to sleep, this episode is for you. We’re joined by Rachel Baumel, founder and CEO of Sleep Again Pillows, and author, songwriter and podcast host, Carrie Rowan, to unpack the elusive nature of sleep and why quality rest is one of the most powerful tools we have for physical and mental well-being. Sweet dreams aren’t just a luxury—they’re a necessity.

Rachel Baumel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and underwent four surgeries for breast cancer and ovary removal the next year.

Following her double mastectomy, she created a pillow system to make herself more comfortable while sleeping on her back. She had to find pillows and put them together to make a comfy and cozy cocoon. Her husband called it the "life raft.”

After lending her pillow system out to other women following their surgeries, she saw how others could benefit. She and Kate Devlin founded Sleep Again Pillows in 2020 and have now helped thousands of people sleep and heal following surgery.
