S2 Ep 120Hiring A Sleep Consultant: Red Flags & Green Flags
Spoiler! A qualified sleep consultant would never tell a parent "You’re spoiling your baby" or "Your baby is manipulating you". It's honestly insane I need to say that, but I've actually had clients forward me reels claiming this is coming from my "predatory industry".Lolz, I digress. While we'd never say that, there are certain atributes about a consultant's business that signal they are not only qualified, but likely one you'll be successful with, and a good fit for your family.In today's episode, I'll share both - what good consultants DO do and say, and what flags to look out for that make them maybe not the best for you. The great news? There are plenty of us out there who can really change you life for the better (and without any "predatory" tendencies ;)Loved this episode?

Think your baby might just be "low sleep needs"? Think again my friend! High and low sleep needs very much do exist, but usually not the way you think.

S2 Ep 112Got 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!Loved this episode?
