There may be no audience more primed to be triggered and confused than a tired new Mom whose trying to learn about baby sleep.

In this episode I'll remind you - who is saying this (and moreso, who is NOT saying it - trusted sources), why you keep seeing more of it (it's not because there is any new data!) and one small thing you can do to stop it, and save your sanity this holiday season.

November 05, 2025 When Your Friend Circle Doesn't Prioritize Sleep....And Your Kids Get FOMO
Today's episode came via a client's request - that I talk about how to handle social dynamics with friends who don't prioritize sleep for their kids....which means YOU are the bad guy for pulling them away from late night events to make it home for bedtime.
It's a classic "next stage" of parenting moment - when your kids realize that their friends don't have a household run identically to their own. Whether is bedtime, diet, screen use, or many other things - this episode will give you some actionable tips to manage it. How to frame it for yourself, how to discuss it with your kids, and how to discuss it with your friends - so you can maintain your friendships AND your sanity.
In this episode, I mentioned house rule & family values. You can puchase the download for both here! House Rules & Family Values.

October 29, 2025 Almost Doesn't Count: Why Your "Sleep Training" Didn't Work (And How To Fix It)
It's one of the most frustrating experiences for so many of my new clients. They come to me exhausted and confused. "We already sleep trained, we don't understand why it didn't work!!"
Today I'll share all of my cold hard truths that will hopefully allow you to release the fear that you simply have a uniquely mystifying "bad sleeper" - even if you tried the same failing process with another child who actually is a good sleeper! More importantly - I'll explain what you need to try once again (once and for all!) to get to that blissful world great sleep, finally.

October 22, 2025 Got Potty Problems? You're Not Alone (Promise).
"A race to the bottom" is how a client of mine once referred to her friend circle, regarding sleep. Everyone seems eager to one up each other on how terrible their baby or toddler sleeps. But when it comes to potty issues, parents don't feel that same energy - they feel isolated, like their child is the ONLY one who can't seem to figure it out.
So, I'm here as a professional potty trainer to assure you - you're NOT alone. Today I'll explain why I think it feels especially hard when your child has potty issues, what I most often see in my practice, and a reminder that you're not alone, it's fixable, and while we're at it - the sleep issues are fixable too, even if your friends normalize them for you. As I love to say - something doesn't have to be HORRIFIC for you to want it to get better!

October 15, 2025 It's Okay To Question Your Pediatrician's Sleep Advice
No hate no shade! Pediatricians are some of my favorite people. Great ones are a LIFELINE to their patients, and they are wonderful partners, sounding boards, and resources for me as a professional. But all pediatricians are not created equal, and more importantly, they really aren't trained on sleep at all. Despite over a decade of schooling and training required for this very difficult and important job, pediatric med students/residents get between 2-4 hours TOTAL across all of their training on sleep. So if you hear something that doesn't sit well with you, confuses you, or seems to make your child's sleep worse - permission to say no (and find a different pediatrician - because the best ones work with people like me!)

October 01, 2025 Training Your Brain To Parent Like A Pro with Behaviorish Co-Founder Rachel Morris, BCBA
It's bedtime (or bath time, or play time) and your toddler only wants YOU. Parental Preference can be draining and frustrating for both parents. Board Certified Behavior Analyst and co-founder of Behaviorish Rachel Morris is here to make it easier.
Rachel walks us through all the things - WHY kids tend to default to a specific parent, why it matters that we don't always give into it, how to manage our own emotions, why that matters so much, and frankly, validating why that feels SO HARD in the moment.
If you vibe with my whole do less / default to logic / honest about not being perfect / concrete tools that actually help schtick....you are going to LOVE this episode (and learn a ton).
Want to chat with Rachel 1:1? Head to the Behaviorish website to book a complimentary 30 minute call, check out their downloadable resources, and be sure to follow them on Instagram!

September 24, 2025 Sleep, Parenting, and The Rule of Thirds
Do you want to pull your hair out or google "is my toddler a sociopath" only 33% of the time? Do you LOVE AND ADORE parenting only 33% of the time? If so, congrats! You are exactly where the universe expects you to be.
Today I'm sharing the a-ha moment I had when I discovered a concept called "The Rule Of Thirds." It's a perfect analogy for the experience of sleep guidance that I so often see with clients. But more so, it gives us permission, with parenting, jobs, marriages, and just day to day life, to not feel like we're falling short if things don't feel awesome almost all of the time. According to this theory, it's not even a realistic goal! So take a listen, go out into the world today, and permission to accept whichever of the three experiences comes your way.
