Why I Started Sleep Focus Lab
Sleep Focus Lab exists because sleep struggles don’t care how accomplished you are. They don’t care whether you’re an executive, a working parent, a student, a caregiver, or simply someone lying awake wishing your brain had an “off” switch.
I created this space because I know what it’s like to hold everything together — career, family, expectations — while privately running on fumes.
And now I’m watching our oldest daughter, an executive under stress, currently pregnant, navigating the same sleep challenges. It reinforced what I already knew:
No one teaches us how to sleep.
We’re just expected to figure it out.
Sleep Focus Lab is here to change that.
For nearly twenty years, I lived with chronic, low-quality sleep that affected my mood, relationships, focus, and daily performance.
I lived the same struggle you might be facing right now: exhausted mornings, restless nights, and a constant sense of being “on” even when I desperately needed rest. I built a successful career as a high-performing individual contributor, executive and a single working mother – all while running on sleep that was not good enough.
And like many professionals, I kept pushing.
I thought exhaustion was simply the price of ambition.
It wasn’t.
When I finally began treating sleep as seriously as my fitness and nutrition, everything changed. Not instantly, and not perfectly — but consistently and profoundly
Now I sleep well – almost every night, and I cannot overstate how much better life feels on the other side of chronic exhaustion.

high-achieving professionals
working parents
