play

11/11/24 • 20 min

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to improve your baby’s sleep without resorting to harsh, outdated methods?

Many parents feel trapped, believing the only way to get their child to sleep is by letting them cry it out alone in a crib. This belief, rooted in old-school sleep training myths, leaves countless moms and dads feeling frustrated and helpless, even guilty, as they wonder why they can’t solve their child’s sleep struggles.

But what if there was a gentler, holistic way to support your little one’s sleep development—one that aligns with your values and empowers your whole family to rest well? Anne, a seasoned holistic sleep coach, joins us today to explain how holistic sleep coaching can revolutionize your parenting journey, leading to better nights and happier days.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why “cry it out” isn’t the only sleep training option—and why it often feels wrong for many parents.
  • How holistic sleep coaching considers every piece of your baby’s sleep puzzle, from feeding efficiency to the right sleep environment.
  • The role of gentle yet effective techniques that help your baby learn independent sleep without unnecessary distress.
  • Why a well-rested baby means a well-rested, more confident parent—and how that can transform your everyday life.

Rested babies and thriving parents aren’t just dreams; they’re achievable realities. Holistic sleep coaching doesn’t just get your little one sleeping better—it empowers you to feel like your best self, with renewed energy and confidence for the beautiful, messy adventure of motherhood.

12/16/24 • 15 min

Are you struggling to embrace the new version of yourself after becoming a mom?

Motherhood is a beautiful transformation, but it’s also a profound shift that marks the end of who you were and the birth of someone entirely new. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, frustrated, or overwhelmed trying to get back to your “old self,” you’re not alone.

But here’s the truth: there’s no going back—nor should there be. Trying to live as your pre-motherhood self can lead to burnout, disconnection, and resistance. Instead, it’s time to embrace the incredible woman you’ve become.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why the idea of “bouncing back” is toxic and counterproductive.
  • How to let go of your old self and grieve that version of you with gratitude.
  • Simple steps to reconnect with and nurture your instincts as a mom.
  • Why embracing your evolution as a mother leads to joy and alignment.

Motherhood changes everything—and that’s a beautiful thing. Let’s shift the narrative, release the pressure, and honor this transformative journey together. 💖
