September 16, 2024 Shorts: the loneliness of having a wakeful baby + the pressure to sleep train
Nobody talks about how lonely it can be if you're the only one with a child who continues to be wakeful when everyone else around you seems to be getting more sleep.
And then you might feel the pressure to sleep train if you ever talk about how tired you are.
Perhaps your partner or someone else close to you is trying to get you to make changes in a way that doesn't feel right for you right now.
This is an episode for anyone stuck in a comparison trap or a cycle of disagreement over whether to sleep train or not.

July 25, 2023 Is sleep training "always wrong"? Kaitlin Klimmer on grey areas and maternal mental health
A controversial question this week! There will be people who say that cry-it-out is always wrong/cruel/avoidable. And others that believe it is the best thing ever. But what about the space in between these two polarised stances? Kaitlin Klimmer and I are both sleep specialists who offer alternatives to sleep training, but where do we stand on the moral debate around infant sleep and controlled crying? We go deep into temperament, cultural expectations/norms, maternal mental health and setting boundaries whilst protecting attunement.Austria-based, Canadian sleep specialist and mother of two, Kaitlin Klimmer, has a degree in developmental psychology and more than a decade of experience working with children under five. She's completed several holistic infant sleep and breastfeeding qualifications, and is a qualified Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator.

July 18, 2023Why are we so hard on ourselves in motherhood? Perfectionism explored with Catherine Counihan
Are you holding yourself to the highest standards as a mum?
Have you noticed a cycle of self-criticism creeping in?
What happens when perfectionists and people pleasers have babies?
This week's guest, Catherine Counihan, is an Integrative Psychotherapist working in private practice in London. Cath specialises in complex trauma, perfectionism, nervous system healing, shifting dysfunctional patterns in our families and reparenting. One of her areas of expertise is how our own childhoods impact our parenting journey. Her passion is to shift shame and help each client gain an embodied sense of being good enough. Our shame voices do not speak the truth! Cath had done a lot of personal trauma therapy prior to kids and, despite this, was set back to emotional ground zero by motherhood. Cath hosts a weekly podcast 'Grow Yourself Up' focused on how we can learn to tend to ourselves in adulthood when we have not had our needs met as children, and the challenges of doing this as we parent. She also writes, has taught at the Bowlby Centre in London and will begin teaching for the International Attachment Network in Sept 2023. She is accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and has nearly 12 years of clinical experience. Cath had a previous career in financial services and is the mother of 7 year old twin girls.
