Women deserve to feel their best at the end of each day, and comfortable sleepwear is crucial to achieving that! Join Jeanne as she speaks with Michelle Myles about an innovative bamboo sleepwear line. Wearing something comfortable brings so much happiness and peace, especially for women as they age! Stay tuned!

Here are the things to expect in the episode:

• Many women tend to overlook the importance of their sleepwear and loungewear.
• A specific moment or experience that led Michelle to create her sleepwear line.
• Why did Michelle choose bamboo fabric over other fabrics?
• The benefits of having comfortable and calming sleepwear at home.

About Michelle:

Inspiration began from founder Michelle’s journey through her mother’s lung cancer. Her mom, Shirley, became very fond of her bamboo-fabric beanie, which provided her comfort and body temperature regulation after hair loss from chemotherapy. Shirley, favoring her beanie over a designer wig, inspired Michelle on the quest to continue to elevate joy and comfort with sensible clothing. She found that there were so many benefits to bamboo fabric, not only for our personal use but also for the planet, and she thought all women should have this comfort in their lives. Michelle's mission is to elevate joy, inspire humanity, and create a meaningful lifestyle through quality products and comfortable loungewear.
