Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen Podcast. I'm Jason Wackeb, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.

Hi there, Jason your host here, and I am so excited to announce that we are partnering

with Bose to bring you another special episode of the MyBuddyGreen Podcast focused on the importance

mind and body as your daily diet and movement, and we're uniting in our mission to optimize the

quality of our sleep and learn from our unconscious experiences in the process. If you listen to

this podcast regularly, you know that health is about more than what goes on during the waking hours.

about how Bose's innovative sleep buds can help support your sleep. Leslie, welcome.

that is a small aspect of what I do, and I'll get into the why of it, not describe what else I'm

doing as well. I wrote a book about dream work for therapists, I finished it just last year,

there's there's all of that, that's a project I would say, and I still do some dream research,
