Podcast overview

Sleep is not something we fall into at the end of the day. It’s something we design. In this episode of The Flourish Feed Podcast, Gillian Stovel Rivers sits down with Aimee Griffiths, sleep and recovery expert and founder of Rise Lifestyle Co., to explore why sleep is the most powerful performance tool we have—and why it’s foundational to health, happiness, relationships, and longevity. From nervous system regulation and emotional resilience to athletic recovery and cognitive clarity, this conversation reframes sleep as an active investment, not a passive necessity. Together, Gillian and Aimee unpack the science of sleep stages, the role of technology, and the small, practical changes that can dramatically improve how we rest—and how we live. If you want more energy, better focus, stronger relationships, and a longer, healthier life, this episode will change how you think about sleep.
