41. What is your sleep animal? How your energy is affected by your sleep.
Now, I don't know about you, but I have some days where I feel super charged, clear-headed, inspired and ready to conquer the world.
Other times? I'm so darn distracted.
Oh, and don't even get me started on my energy levels after 10 pm — I'm basically just like an oversized cranky baby who needs be showered, fed and put to bed!
Okay, sometimes I am all of these things in one day. And, that's completely Our energy levels, like our time, aren't meant to be limitless. Just like the battery in our phones, it's a finite resource that needs to be recharged before we can work at full capacity again.
I found what has been really useful in making peace with the ebbs and flows of my energy is understanding my chronotype.
Otherwise known as "sleep animals." this is a concept created by sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus (https://thesleepdoctor.com/). He believes that each of us falls into one of four "body clock" categories, based on the sleep cycles of animals in natures.

39. More Than a Crown: How Becoming a Powerful Advocate for Mental Health is Fueling This Young Woman's Dreams
Laurel Jones is a high school who has big dreams and a powerful message about mental health in teen and mental health education. Although most schools provide mental health services, Laurel's experience demonstrates that schools do not always engage teens effectively. Her goal? To redefine the conversation. Laurel is Miss Southlake's Outstanding Teen, a local titleholder in the Miss Texas' Outstanding Program. Drawing from personal experience, Laurel is focusing her year on implementing a program she's developed called: Behind the SASH: Suicidal Thoughts, Anxiety, and Self-Harm.
Laurel is working with school leaders and legislators to help develop a new mental health program for teens to implement statewide. Listen in to hear how this amazing young woman is more than a pretty face and a crown, but is an advocate for young people everywhere in the fight against mental illness in teens.
We chat about her personal battles, how pageants get a bad rap and how she balances all her commitments from school to community service.
