Ep. 33 - The Real Reason You Wake Up Tired Every Day | Mich Manaras
What if your bad mood, brain fog, and back pain had less to do with mindset and more to do with what you did the night before?
In this episode, Mich Manaras, founder of PEAR, shares how wearables and a simple Vibe Score are helping people track their habits, improve their health, and reconnect with the people they care about.
We talk about:
→ How alcohol, late nights, and stress show up in your body
→ Why tracking your sleep might actually improve your relationships
→ The missing link between physical pain and emotional health
→ What made Mich walk away from drinking and start building something that actually helps
