Welcome back! Today we are joined by Janey Riley, expert infant and toddler sleep consultant and founder of WeeSleep, where she oversees a team of over 50 certified sleep consultants to help families all around the world who are struggling with sleep issues.  With 12 different programs for sleep deprived families, her approach covers children from 3 months all the way up to school age (10 years old). Janey is a single mom and created WeeSleep after her own experience with her son.

What we talk about:

  • Misconceptions about motherhood
  • When to let a baby or child "cry it out" and when to go in
  • When parents have different opinions on how to approach sleep training, schedules, etc.
  • How having kids impacts your relationship with your partner
  • How to take care of yourself when you have kids
  • How to prioritize your relationship, sex, etc.
  • The importance of sleep for everyone (not just parents)
  • How Janey knew her relationship was not right for her
  • Divorce and the impact of "staying together for the kids"
  • & more!
