Sleep Struggles in Perimenopause? You’re Not Alone.


Hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause often bring one very unwelcome sidekick: sleeplessness. If you’re tired of lying awake at 3 am, wired but exhausted, this episode is your next best step.

Coach Kris sits down with Shonda Palmer, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and sleep specialist, to talk about why sleep gets harder in midlife and what you can do about it.

You’ll learn:

  • How hormonal shifts like dropping progesterone and estrogen impact your ability to fall and stay asleep

  • Why racing thoughts and nighttime anxiety hit harder in menopause

  • The real role of sleep hygiene (and why it’s not the magic bullet)

  • How CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) works and why it’s changing lives

  • Powerful mindset shifts and body-based tools to calm your nervous system at night

  • The truth about midnight wakeups (hint: they might be normal!)

  • Strategies for sleep when your partner snores, or when you wake up hungry at 1 am

  • Why a “Sleep Alliance” may save both your sanity and your marriage

If you’re doing all the things — fueling right, moving daily, praying hard — and still can’t get a good night’s sleep, this conversation will give you the hope and tools you need to take your power back.

Because it’s not just about sleep. It’s about energy, fat loss, hormone balance, and feeling like yourself again.
