What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for isn’t in a new morning routine—but in your sleep?

In this episode, Mary Black sits down with Michele Kreuzer, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Certified Behavioral Sleep Specialist who’s spent over 20 years helping families, educators, and professionals reclaim energy, focus, and well-being—starting with better rest.

Michele shares:

• Why sleep is the foundation of emotional regulation, resilience, and focus
• The connection between burnout, sleep deprivation, and behavior patterns
• How to build better sleep habits (even as a busy adult or parent)
• The biggest misconceptions about sleep—and why “just getting more hours” isn’t the solution
• Practical, science-based tools you can start using tonight
• Why her work blends compassion, consistency, and a clear behavioral framework
• And how she helps children, families, and professionals feel human again—through rest

Whether you're a parent navigating tough bedtimes, a woman burnt out from high-functioning exhaustion, or someone simply ready to feel better… this conversation is your invitation to slow down, reset, and let sleep do its sacred work.
