In this episode, we meet Dr. Stephanie Waggel, Psychiatrist, MD, MS, PMH-C and Medical Director at Improve Life PLLC. Her special focus is on women, mood, anxiety, ADHD testing AND treatment, depression, OCD, PTSD, bipolar, and more.

She is a mother, author, motivational speaker, teacher, cancer survivor, marathon runner, medical student advisor, martial artist and founder of Improve Medical Culture. My favorite part - she's brilliant, funny and she makes time for SLEEP! Hear what she has to say about:

- Mom guilt & work-life balance
-The beauty of SLEEP!
-Treatment of PMADs (Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders)
- Intrusive Thoughts - its not just YOU
- HPA and Epigenetics - it's interesting
-Your UTERUS is NOT TO BLAME!

Episode challenge: can you catch the moment Dr. W. uses my new favorite word Schadenfreude? :)
