- Episode 127: Dr Halaina on Mum Life & Mental Health
Does being a clinical psychologist make parenting a walk in the park? According to Dr Halaina Winter, not quite. Dr Fallon chats with Dr Halaina about her experience as a first-time parent: the surprises, the self-doubt and the moments that humbled her. Together they explore practical ways to look after your mental health in those early years. Whether you’re expecting, newly home with your baby or deep in the toddler trenches, you’ll come away feeling reassured, understood and a little less alone.

🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube39 min - Episode 119: Permission slips for tired parents
I was thinking about what I would tell my younger self. The version of me who had a newborn, or a six-month-old, or a toddler who had decided that 4:30am was a completely acceptable time to begin the day
And I realised that the things I’d actually want to tell her aren’t the research findings. They’re the softer things. The permission slips. The things nobody really says out loud. So that’s what this episode is. Three things I genuinely believe can help all parents, and I hope at least one of them lands for you. Plus I answer your questions ☺️ Let’s get into it.

🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube49 min - Episode 118: Fixing False Starts
If you settle your baby or toddler at bedtime, only for them to wake up less than 2 hours later, then you’re familiar with ‘false starts.’ False starts happen when babies or toddlers don’t begin their nights with a long stretch of deep sleep – they may have this deep sleep later in the night, or not at all.
In episode 118, Dr Fallon and Dr Laura (PhDs & Sleep Practitioners) unpack why false starts happen, and how you can fix them.
