In this episode, Gina is joined by Alanna McGinn—certified sleep expert and longtime Livy Community member—for a refreshingly real conversation about the powerful connection between stress and sleep. Sharing personal stories and clinical insights, Alanna opens up about her own midlife stress and how it disrupted her once-solid sleep. Together, they unpack the common misconceptions people have about managing stress, why some strategies aren’t actually helping, and how deeper emotional work often holds the key. This is one of those chats that’s equal parts eye-opening and validating for anyone struggling to find balance while trying to lose weight.

Alanna McGinn is the founder of Good Night Sleep Site. Along with her team, Alanna has successfully helped thousands of families overcome their sleep challenges and establish healthy nighttime habits so they can get the sleep they need.
