If you’re in the postpartum season, you already know...sleep deprivation is A BEAST. It affects everything: your mood, your relationships, your health, and your ability to feel present with your baby.

In this episode I’m breaking down why protecting your rest matters, how to get restorative sleep (even if your baby is waking frequently), and how to navigate sleep conversations with your partner without spiraling into resentment.

We’ll cover:

• Why your sleep matters
• How to get consolidated rest when your baby’s not sleeping through the night
• Support strategies for breastfeeding parents
• How to share the load with your partner
• A framework/scripts for bringing up tough sleep conversations
• Practical ideas for splitting shifts, activating support, and improving sleep hygiene
• What to do when anxiety or hypervigilance keeps you awake

If you’re ready to start valuing your own rest without guilt, this episode will give you permission, strategies, and a plan to start tonight.
