32. Why a Podcast? Why Start with Sleep? Why DECODE?
This episode contains clips from Episode #2 in which I was interviewed by my friend Dr. Vivian Sapirman (Dr. Cara Ooi and Why Sleep Is a Great First Change, May 30, 2022). In this episode, you'll learn my story, why I do this work, why sleep is such a powerful place to start, why existing solutions for insomnia don’t work, and what I am trying to create with the DECODE resources and programs. After this episode, you can take a listen to the next episode in which Vivian interviews me 1 year later about the updates to the podcast, resources, and programs.
**Please note: the structure of the DECODE resources and services have changed since the recording of this episode. Please visit www.decodeinsomnia.com for up-to-date information.**
