During my Instagram Q&A or on client and discovery calls, something that always comes up are the sleep myths that the sleep training industry tries to sell. I have said this before, but sleep training preys on the fears of already exhausted and overwhelmed parents, so it’s natural they have concerns about the best choices when it comes to their infant or toddler’s sleep. In this episode, I wan...

With the holidays approaching, I want to chat about something that I am sure we have all encountered in our parenthood journey – judgment from our family or other loved ones. I know these topics can be so polarizing, but I’m hoping they don’t always have to be for you and your family. In this episode I’m sharing a few different ways you can navigate your next holiday gathering when your parenting...

I wish I had this type of sup...

One of the things I’m most excited about for this podcast is bringing on guests to share their own motherhood stories and how they’ve come out confident on the other side. With that, I’m so excited to share our first guest interview with Tiffany Belanger of Cosleepy!

How are you finding rest in motherhood this week? This is the question that I asked myself today as I sat down to record this episode. Simply put? I’m choosing to be kinder to myself. It can be so easy to start beating ourselves up and make ourselves feel like we are doing a bad job or we're not doing enough as moms. But the more we kind of get into these kinds of negative narratives, the wor...
