Sleep and Self-Trust: Why a Rested Woman Knows What She Wants

Ep. 77 What if your self-doubt isn’t a mindset issue—but a sleep issue? You’re not overthinking because you’re weak—you’re under-rested. In this powerful episode of the Doze Podcast, certified sleep coach Soda Kuczkowski reveals how sleep deprivation quietly sabotages your intuition, decision-making, and self-trust, especially for women carrying the weight of emotional labor. If you’re exhausted from second-guessing every choice, it’s time to stop blaming your mindset... and start healing your brain. ✨ What's Inside? Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s mental recalibration. A sleep-deprived brain defaults to people-pleasing. REM sleep = Intuition Booster. Skipping it means you’re literally cutting yourself off from your inner wisdom. Notable Quotes: “You’re not indecisive—you’re under-rested.” “A rested woman knows what she wants.” “Sleep is a power move.” Resources: The Doze - Topical Magnesium Spray Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: What If It’s Not Mindset, But Sleep? 00:33 – Welcome to Doze: Meet Soda Kuczkowski 00:54 – Why Self-Trust Begins with Sleep 01:28 – How Sleep Deprivation Glitches Your Brain 01:55 – The REM Cycle: Your Intuition Booster 02:25 – Survival Mode vs. Self-Trust 02:53 – Why Women Are Hit Harder by Sleep Loss 03:45 – Biology Over Mindset: Sleep & Social Conditioning 04:12 – Step 1: Protect Your REM Sleep 04:38 – Step 2: Treat Sleep as Emotional Hygiene 05:28 – Step 3: Decide Your Bedtime Early 05:56 – Step 4: Track Your Clarity & Intuition 06:22 – Step 5: Rewrite the Narrative—Sleep is a Power Move 07:28 – Final Thoughts: Sleep Builds Self-Trust Learn more about your ad choices.
