0:00.0 | Hey folks, thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Paylor Solution Podcast. |
0:05.0 | Before we get to the fun, here's a quick word from one of our sponsors. |
0:09.0 | So I first started having trouble sleeping when, I guess I was probably in my late 20s and my boyfriend's sister at the time, who was my best friend at 33 was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and she had four children under the age of eight at the time and that became a very stressful situation. |
0:30.0 | I'm not a mother but I have a little taste of what motherly and household and duties and |
0:35.6 | stress of life can can happen and I think that's really when my sleep trouble |
