Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

And you're thinking, wait, hang on a minute, Jaz. We're in May. Why are you telling us about April? Well, I had a stressful month myself, actually, my youngest son was on and off sick and like nothing too serious, thankfully. Like it was antibiotics. Jaz's Introduction:It was tonsillitis. It was a couple of bugs. It was a night in A&E. And it really made me grateful in a way, in the sense that look, yes, my son was sick and I hated it and I felt really bad for him. And it can take your toll when your children are not sleeping very well. But it really made me feel bad for parents who had children with chronic illnesses, think, I don't know, leukemia, or parents with children who have severe learning disabilities, and having to care for those children, it really takes its toll on a parent. Or someone maybe with a child's got cleft lip and palate, feeding issues. Or of course Nafisa, the little girl in Tanzania that we're supporting, which Protrusive are supporting as a charity to help her raise money to fight her SMA type 1 so she can get genetic therapy. If you've been reading my emails, I put a donation link there and we're pretty much there to raising enough money to help this little girl. But anyway, going back on topic, it's been a stressful month, which is why this episode has spilled over into May. A few years ago, I probably would have been stressing about this, like, oh my god, it was supposed to be out in April and that would have eaten me alive. But my mindset has shifted a bit. It's a silly little story, actually, in terms of this mindset shift. Okay, the story goes that my son was on a playdate. It was like an early afternoon thing. And children nowadays, they have better social lives than their parents. So after this playdate, he had a birthday party to go to. So we were driving my son to the birthday party and we were really late. Like we spent too much time on the playdate and we were really late for the birthday party he had to go to. I hate, I absolutely hate running late. So, I was in a stressed state. If you ask me then, Jaz, how do you feel? I'm like, oh my god, I'm so stressed, we're late, Ishaan's gonna miss everything, the cake cutting, everything, he's gonna miss it, this is so stressful, and of course, two kids in the car, and that can get sometimes quite stressful. So, I reached the birthday party, and yes, he just about made it for the cake cutting,
