For Sarah, words are everything.
Her father, who founded a publishing company 56 years ago, made her a quiet promise when she was a teenager:
If you choose publishing, you’ll have a career that lets you go where you want to go, meet who you want to meet, and learn what you want to learn.
It stuck. Years later—after college, journalism school, and a brief stint outside the family business—Sarah stepped into the role of publisher. She’s now co-owner of the company, and words are her world.
But, at 45, Sarah found herself in the throes of perimenopause. Her cycle became unpredictable. Her body started changing. But what truly disrupted her life—both at home and at work—were the unrelenting sleep issues and the frustrating fog that followed.
“Sleep and brain fog have been the hardest,” she explains. “Not foggy like post-COVID fog—but like I can’t access things I know. Like I’m in a meeting, and I know the author and her book, but I can’t remember her name.”
As a single mom of two, running a business rooted in language, clarity, and creativity, the struggle was more than inconvenient—it was exhausting. Sarah turned to what she knew: yoga, Ayurveda, diet changes, weight training, even morning sunlight and circadian rhythm hacks. “Some of it worked,” she says. “But it wasn’t enough.”
Then she tried Blue Sky Sleep CBD.
The difference was immediate.
“My sleep has been more consistent than it’s been probably since before I had kids,” she says. “Blue Sky CBD has been miraculously helpful.”
She doesn’t wake up groggy. She falls back asleep with ease. And while CBD hasn’t erased all the challenges of perimenopause, the ability to sleep deeply and consistently has transformed her days.
“I can function better. I can be present for my kids. I can lead my team. I can show up as myself.”
She’s tried other CBD products before—but says Blue Sky is the only one that’s worked consistently. “For women in perimenopause who aren’t sleeping, everything else feels worse, symptoms are more severe, hormone shifts are more dramatic. Sleep changes everything.”
As a single mom of two, a leader, a writer, a hiker, a dog mom, a lifelong seeker—Sarah has a full life. But sleep is the thing that lets her fully live it.
“Blue Sky Sleep is the only CBD I’ve found that’s consistently effective,” she says. “And when I sleep, I can show up—at work, with my kids, for myself.”
Which brings her back to her father’s promise.
Publishing has let her explore the world, connect with brilliant people, and learn endlessly. But without sleep, none of that is possible. Not fully. Not sustainably.
Now, with her nights restored, Sarah is reclaiming her days.
And the promise lives on.
