In this episode, we are joined by a very special guest, Mel Mason, who is widely recognized as the Clutter Expert. Mel believes that the clutter in our physical spaces is often a reflection of the emotional clutter we carry within ourselves. She shares a powerful and deeply personal testimony about her journey of healing, which began after the tragic death of her brother while she was living in a residential treatment center for adolescents.
Through this heartbreaking experience, Mel began to recognize the weight of her suppressed emotions and the need to confront the trauma she had long been avoiding. It was during this time that she was introduced to mindfulness and the transformative power of inner healing. As she worked through her pain, she discovered that true organization and clarity in her external life could only come from dealing with the emotional chaos she held inside.
Melâs story is a profound reminder that our willingness to face our inner wounds, do the hard work of healing, and address past traumas is what ultimately leads to transformation. Her experience exemplifies how healing the inside can create lasting peace and organization in our outside world.

In this Episode Ginger delve into the The Impact of Menopause and Hormones on Sleep in journey through menopause, many of us find that sleep can become elusive, leaving us with more than just tired eyes. Weâre talking about brain fog, disrupted circadian rhythms, and those frustrating nights spent tossing and turning. But fear not! Weâre going to explore how menopause and hormones impact our sleep, discuss natural supplements that can help clear the mental haze, and share tips on balancing our circadian rhythms. Letâs get started!"
The Impact of Menopause and Hormones on Sleep
"Menopause is a time of significant hormonal changes, with estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuating and eventually declining. These hormonal shifts can wreak havoc on your sleep. Estrogen, for instance, has a calming effect on the brain and helps regulate body temperature. When estrogen levels drop, you might experience hot flashes or night sweats, waking you up in the middle of the night.
Progesterone, often called the 'calming hormone,' plays a crucial role in promoting restful sleep. As its levels decrease, you might find it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. This can lead to fragmented sleep, leaving you feeling unrested and struggling with brain fog during the day.
Melatonin production also declines with age, further disrupting your sleep-wake cycle. Without enough melatonin, it can be challenging to fall asleep at night and wake up feeling refreshed in the morning."
Supplements to Combat Brain Fog and Improve Sleep
"Brain fog, a common symptom during menopause, can make it difficult to focus, remember things, or even think clearly. Fortunately, there are natural supplements that can help clear the fog and improve your sleep quality.
Melatonin: As we mentioned earlier, melatonin is crucial for regulating sleep. Taking a melatonin supplement about 30 minutes before bed can help signal to your body that itâs time to wind down, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Magnesium: This mineral is known for its calming properties and can help reduce insomnia. Magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate are good forms to take before bed to relax your muscles and nervous system, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): GABA is a neurotransmitter that helps calm the brain. Itâs particularly helpful if you find that racing thoughts are keeping you up at night. A GABA supplement can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan): This supplement boosts serotonin levels, which in turn increases melatonin production. Itâs beneficial for those who struggle with both sleep and mood, as serotonin is also a mood stabilizer.
Ashwagandha: This adaptogenic herb helps reduce stress and anxiety, two common culprits of poor sleep. By lowering cortisol levels, ashwagandha helps promote a more relaxed state, making it easier to drift off to sleep."
Balancing Your Circadian Rhythm
Circadian rhythmâthe bodyâs internal clock that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. As we age, this rhythm can become disrupted, making it harder to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Here are some ways to help reset and balance your circadian rhythm:
Consistent Sleep Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This consistency reinforces your circadian rhythm, helping you fall asleep and wake up more naturally.
Morning Sunlight: Exposure to natural light in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm. Spend at least 15-30 minutes outside in the morning to help signal to your brain that itâs time to wake up and be alert.
