Episode description

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.

My guest today is Mollie McGlocklin. She's the creator of Sleep is a Skill, a company that optimizes people's sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. The company was born after her poor sleep habits culminated into a mega challenging bout of insomnia for months without end. With a background behavioral change, Mollie went down the rabbit hole to solve her sleep disturbances without sleeping aids. She became fascinated by chronobiology and by extension it's practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis, not only to her sleep, but also to her life as a whole. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, Mollie's now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. Today, we talk about what good sleep is, how to get better sleep, what your circadian rhythm is and more.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state.
