In this episode, we dive into:
- Joanna’s deeply personal story of depression and how sleep challenges devastated her. What made her discover aromatherapy and journey towards a healing space?
- What happens in the brain with poor sleep and how it can be a bidirectional axis with depression?
- What happens in each of the stages of sleep? Why do we need to move through them all? How can someone sleep for many hours and perhaps still not have this deep healing sleep?
- Why are we programmed differently at different times of the day for different things? How does this impact when we should ideally be sleeping and waking?

- How can aromatherapy be a powerful way to support sleep recovery? What are the scientific and physiological thoughts behind using them?
