Drawing Health Podcast: The Powers We Sleep On, with Maureen Burdock
Today’s show features Maureen Burdock!
It turns out Maureen and I are very similar, which was an absolute delight for us - and I hope it will be for you too!
We talk about Maureen’s new book, Sleepless Planet, the health term “exposome,” colonial-capitalist inventions of health and disease, perimenopause mistakes, neglected powers of breathing, birthing, and sleeping, and MORE.
Maureen gives us a lovely exercise to try for nighttime anxiety, so you can put this episode to use right away! Just listen to the end of the interview and you’ll have a new practice to help you sleep better.
