Episode Details

Sleep after cancer can feel impossible.
Hormone changes, trauma, anxiety, night sweats, cortisol spikes, medications, and nervous system dysregulation can completely change the way your body experiences rest. And if you're lying awake at night thinking, "Why can't I sleep like I used to?"...you're not broken. Your body is just trying to protect you.

In this episode, Jen shares a powerful, hopeful truth:
Yes, you can sleep again.
Not by forcing it. Not by controlling it. But by teaching your nervous system that it's safe again.

This conversation dives into the real reasons sleep changes after a cancer diagnosis and how to gently rebuild rest through nervous system healing, environment design, simple rituals, and trauma-informed tools...with honesty, science, and a little humor.
