HeyShayla Podcast - episode 037 titled “Cosleeping: what no one tells you” 

When Tiffany Belanger became a new parent and her newborn would not sleep in his bassinet, she was shocked at how difficult it was to find reliable information about safe cosleeping!
After two years of research and real-life trial and error, she founded Cosleepy to help other parents keep their babies safe in their beds. She even refers to herself as the safety captain because it’s very important to her that people know how to bed share SAFELY. Even the parents who don’t plan to!  Because inevitably most will, and knowing how to do it safely is crucial.  

Her work has been referenced in several articles discussing the controversy of cosleeping, most notably New York Magazine's viral article "Are We All Secretly Co-sleeping?" She has a super informative and helpful instagram @cosleepy that has become one of the largest communities of cosleeping parents on the web.

Should you have another child? Why this mom stopped at 3.

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 069 

Guest: @abbyrosegreen

Abby is a type A woman that loves nothing more than a finished to-do list and a tidy house. Which felt DOABLE until their second child joined the mix. All of the sudden she was overwhelmed, frustrated, and felt like she was just scraping by in every area of life.

Then her third was born with down syndrome and she not only became a mother of three but also an inclusion advocate and ally.

She spent 10 years working in a sales role until she slowly transitioned out and is is a business coach and  Co-owner of  @herselfpodcast 

MOST RECENTLY she shared on Instagram that her husband got a vasectomy and why they chose to stop at three.
This decision is on SO MANY OF OUR MINDS that I had to have her on to talk about it!!

Refresh Your Mindset for Your Next Pregnancy!

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 68
Guest: Mindset Coach Tessa Romero @tessaromero_

Tessa is pregnant with her 4th and I am pregnant with my 3rd and we wanted to talk about mindset during pregnancy (especially when you have other children to take care of)!

This episode became so much more than just talking about pregnancy mindset while taking care of other children. We hit on partner resentment, having faith in yourself, and why your mindset benefits YOU more than anyone. 

Check out her Alignment Journaling Course that has benefited me SO MUCH: https://alignmentjournaling.com/

The best natural remedy for morning sickness? Or something to avoid?

064 - Is CBD SAFE for the fetus during pregnancy? With scientist Karli Swenson PhD
Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 064

Guest: Karli Swensen @karliswenson www.instagram.com/karliswenson a PhD in physiology and Masters in maternal and child public health. 
Dr Swensen studies how different substances affect fetal development. In her  work, she wanted to understand if CBD was safe to consume during pregnancy, as many pregnant women use it to decrease the nausea and vomiting of morning sickness.

Since CBD has only been legal since 2018, the research has been very sparse. Over the last few years, they have learned an incredible amount about the potential risks, and potential benefits, of using CBD to decrease morning sickness.

Hey Shayla Podcast | Ep: 063 - What "spoiling" your baby does for their brain Nurture Revolution with Dr Greer Kirshenbaum PhD @nurture_neuroscience_parenting

Her book "The Nurture Revolution" https://amzn.to/3TsMw0w

For over 15 years, in neuroscience labs, Dr Greer has studied how genetics and experience shape the brain, nervous system and body to influence lifelong mental and physical health.

Eventually she wanted to bring this powerful knowledge to families, because what she learned has tremendous power to transform lives, minds and health and make the world a better place for future generations.

I found Dr Greer’s work when I was recommended her book “The Nurture Revolution” and now I recommend it to anyone who follows intuitive parenting but is constantly questioning themselves. The information we’re constantly being fed about how to raise our kids often goes agains intuitive and nurture based parenting.What I love most about her book is the neuroscience foundation and her realistic approach.

You can find more content from Dr Greer on her website Website: https://www.nurture-neuroscience.com  or on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/nurture_neuroscience_parenting. Or in her book "The Nurture Revolution" https://amzn.to/3TsMw0w

This episode welcomes Dr. Greer Kirschenbaum, whose insights from "The Nurture Revolution" share the effects nurturing has on a child's brain development. As we unravel the threads of genetics, early experiences, and the pivotal role of parenting support, Dr. Kirschenbaum, a seasoned neuroscientist and doula, provides an incredible guide of practical strategies that affirm your parental instincts and translate into tangible family nurturing practices.

Imagine a parenting approach that not only fosters your child's emotional growth but also strengthens your bond. We delve deep into the art of stress regulation, emotional connection, and the ways we can use our own mature brains to support our little ones during their most overwhelming moments. Dr. Kirschenbaum challenges the concept that children must learn to self-soothe, arguing for a more supportive role in their emotional regulation.

Finally, Dr. Kirschenbaum sheds light on the diversity of infant sleep patterns and the cultural pressures that can clash with a baby's natural needs. We also discuss the considerations and benefits of co-sleeping, always prioritizing safety and family wel
