What does postpartum really look like behind closed doors, and why don’t we spend as much time preparing for life after birth as we do preparing for the birth itself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Nina Spears, Founder and CEO of Baby Chick and author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy. We’re talking about the realities of postpartum and life with a new baby, including the hidden mental load of motherhood, the pressure to have a picture-perfect experience, and the practical support new moms actually need.

Nina shares how moms can prepare their mindset, body, relationship, support system, and home for the transition into parenthood. We also discuss how partners can become proactive members of the postpartum team instead of waiting to be told what to do.

Whether you’re currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or already navigating motherhood with a young baby, this conversation will help you feel more prepared, supported, and understood.

Can you sleep train a four-month-old baby, or is four months too early for sleep training? In this episode, we’re talking about when to start sleep training, how the four-month sleep regression affects your baby’s sleep, and the signs that your baby may be ready.

You’ll learn why I recommend waiting until the most disruptive part of the four-month sleep regression has passed, what gentle sleep training can look like at this age, and how to improve bedtime and night wakings while still responding to your baby’s needs.

If your four-month-old won’t sleep, is waking frequently at night, taking short naps, or suddenly fighting bedtime, this episode will help you decide what to do next.

And is it even possible to improve your baby’s sleep without making your anxiety worse? In this episode, we’re talking about how to approach sleep training as an anxious mom, including gentle sleep training methods, handling nighttime anxiety, and creating a plan that supports both your baby’s needs and your mental health.

Is your baby suddenly crying the second you leave the room, fighting bedtime, or waking throughout the night just to make sure you’re still there?

Separation anxiety can completely disrupt sleep, even if your baby was previously sleeping well. But it doesn’t mean you have to stop sleep training or choose between supporting your baby emotionally and getting the rest your family needs.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to sleep train when your baby is experiencing separation anxiety. We’ll talk about how to tell if separation anxiety is really causing the sleep struggles, ways to strengthen connection during the day, how to create a reassuring bedtime routine, and which responsive sleep training methods may work best for your baby’s temperament.

You’ll also learn how to handle middle-of-the-night wakings without accidentally creating new sleep habits you don’t want to continue.

You can comfort your baby, protect your attachment, and still hold loving, consistent sleep boundaries. Responsive does not have to mean boundary-less.

Are you completely exhausted but unable to sleep, even when your baby is finally asleep? Postpartum insomnia can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or quiet your racing thoughts, even when you desperately need rest. In this episode, we’re talking about why new moms can’t always “sleep when the baby sleeps,” how postpartum anxiety, hormonal changes, mental load, and an over-alert nervous system can affect maternal sleep, and why putting more pressure on yourself to fall asleep often makes insomnia worse.

You’ll learn practical ways to calm your mind before bed, create a realistic postpartum bedtime routine, reduce nighttime anxiety, arrange protected sleep with your spouse or support person, and recognize when sleep problems may require additional medical or mental health support. If you’re struggling with postpartum sleep deprivation, racing thoughts at night, or feeling tired but wired after having a baby, this episode will remind you that you are not failing and you do not have to navigate it alone.

I’m also inviting you to my free workshop, Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out,” where you’ll learn how to reduce your baby’s night wakings and create longer, more predictable stretches of sleep using a gentle and responsive approach.

Gentle sleep training doesn’t mean there will never be tears, and being responsive doesn’t mean giving up every boundary the moment your baby protests.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to comfort your baby, respond to their needs, and stay emotionally present while still helping them learn to sleep more independently. You’ll learn why consistency matters, what responsive sleep support actually looks like, and how to know when your baby needs comfort versus a clear, loving boundary.
