When It Keeps You Up at Night: How Sleep Training Became a Masterclass in Change
When you’re running on no sleep, even the smallest change can feel impossible. In this episode of Changeology, I’m joined by Sarah Smith, certified pediatric sleep consultant and founder of Swallowtail Sleep. Sarah helps families of children from newborn to age eight create evidence-based sleep plans tailored to each child’s physiology—and each parent’s sanity.
Sarah’s approach is rooted in empathy, data, and partnership. Our conversation isn’t just about sleep—it’s about how we navigate change when we’re exhausted, anxious, or grieving the version of parenthood we thought we’d have. We explore what sleep disruption can teach us about emotional regulation, trust, and the messy, nonlinear process of change.
If you’ve ever resisted change because it was inconvenient, questioned your instincts as a parent, or struggled to stay calm in the chaos, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why even “good” change brings grief—and what to do with it
- How resistance shows up in parenting and what it really means
- Why disruption is data (and how to use it to guide your next step)
- The parallels between fitness, coaching, and sleep work
- The difference between boundaries and control—and how to hold them without guilt
