Welcome to the Nancy Ray Book Club, where once a month I share a summary of a book worth reading

and my top three takeaways from that book. Many of you have joined my 2021 book club and are

reading along with me, but if you haven't, we would still love to have you. You can learn more and

join by visiting Nancy Ray.com slash book club. Also, I wanted to give you a heads up. Next month, the whole month of

May, I'll be dedicating it to our mamas. Any listener who's a mama, it's for you. We did this last

year, and I called it May is for Mamas, and we are doing it again. So stay tuned. I am excited for

what's to come. Okay, I'll be honest. I almost took this book

off of my reading list this year because I felt like it was cruel and unusual punishment to myself

to read a book about sleep the year that I would have a newborn baby. Like, what am I thinking? Reading

all about how to get good, good sleep, get better sleep,

knowing I am going to be sleep deprived no matter what. But I'm really glad I kept it on the list

and read it anyway because it's helping me now in pregnancy. And the tips and lessons that I've learned in this book will help me understand my body

and maximize my sleep even during that newborn phase, as hard as it's going to be, as well as

prioritizing sleep for our whole family for years to come.

I get pretty nerdy today, fair warning, but I'm really excited about all that we're going to learn together.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 108.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that is where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well, which leads to a healthy soul

and a fulfilling life.

Listen in.

I can't think of more topics in our lives that directly relate to the quality of our work
