Going back to work soon, and secretly wondering how you’re supposed to function on broken sleep?
If your maternity leave is ending and your baby is still waking up multiple times a night… this episode is for you.
Because what you really want isn’t just “more sleep.”
You want to walk into work feeling clear-headed instead of foggy.
You want predictable bedtimes instead of spending your entire evening rocking, feeding, and retrying transfers.
You want your baby waking up happy and well-rested — so daycare drop-offs feel calm instead of chaotic.
You want to focus in meetings without rereading the same email three times.
And you want to come home at the end of the day with something left in your tank to actually enjoy your baby… and your life.
But somewhere along the way, you’ve probably been told:
“It’s normal to be exhausted when you go back to work.”
“Just catch up on sleep over the weekend.”
In this episode, I’m sharing the small mindset shift that helps you stop coping with sleep deprivation, and start solving it.
You’ll learn:
• Why being an exhausted working mama has been normalized (and why it doesn’t have to be your reality)
• The biggest belief keeping your baby from sleeping through the night before you return to work
• Why rigid schedules and “perfect” nap timing often make sleep feel impossible with daycare or caregivers
• What actually helps your baby carry independent sleep skills across environments
• How to build sleep that works in real life, even when you're not the one putting your baby down
