| You Can't MAKE Your Baby or Toddler Sleep (Here's What You Can Do Instead) | 17 Jul 2024 | 00:18:00 | |
"She woke up for 15 minutes during her nap...WHY? How can I make her sleep?" "He played for 20 minutes with his trucks after bedtime, how can I make him sleep instead?" These are total normal questions I get from clients, and here is what I tell them, and I want you to know: You can't. You cannot control your child's eyelids closing and falling asleep. Moreso, I don't want you to, and I don't care at all if either of the above scenarios occur. These are totally normal things! In today's episode, I want to help you release the urge to try and make your baby or toddler the perfect sleeper. No one is. Instead? My goal through the process for any client (and anyone listening to this!) is that your child is given the gift of knowing how to put themselves to sleep (and back to sleep when they wake!) and you, as the parent, have the gift of being able to release. Release the urge to feel that you should or even can control their exact sleep stats (leave me alone, Nanit!) and instead have the confidence that you A) are offering your child sleep at times that are appropriate B) trusting your child has the skills and will do with that time what they want and C) you have the tools to know when to make a change or seek help if something changes that is really abnormal.

| When You Really Wanted A Boy (or a Girl).....but the baby is a Girl (or a Boy) | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:22:08 | |
Probably one of the most universally felt feelings that parents (especially Moms) don't want to talk about - when you're secretly (or openly!) pining for one gender and your baby ends up being the other. In today's episode, lets unpack it, judgement free! We'll dive into how common this is, why we feel this way, what we can do to help reframe it, what NOT to say to a parent who has (in your perception) a child with the gender you think they didn't want. I'll also share the results of the online poll I posted about gender preference. If nothing else, I hope this makes anyone experiencing some gender grief less alone, and gives the rest of us some framework to support those who may be experiencing it. Loved this episode?

| Please Don't Treat Us Like Aliens: Loss, Love, and Lessons From The In-Between with author & advocate Myra Sack | 29 May 2024 | 00:33:12 | |
Please note this week's episode deals with the topic of child loss and may be sensitive for some listeners. If that is not the case for you, I implore you to listen to Myra's story. I'm going to be honest: I was scared to read this book. But I did, and it may be the most though provoking, heartbreaking, beautiful and important books I've ever read. For Myra Sack and her husband Matt, the mundane exhaustion and confusion of early parenthood came to a grinding halt just after their daughter Havi's first birthday, when she received a fatal medical diagnosis. For the next year, their grief was layered with a dedication to show Havi as much of the good life as they could, and converting their Friday Shabbats into "Shabbirthdays" - honoring the birthdays Havi would never have. Myra sat down with me this week to share Havi's story, the inspiration for her book "Fifty Seven Fridays: Losing Our Daughter, Finding Our Way" and her work as the founder of E-Motion, a nonprofit organization created to support community, movement and ritual to enhance coping and resilience. If you've ever know a grieving parent, and haven't know exactly what to say (aka 100% of us) - this episode is an absolute must listen. You will come away with some great new analogies (The Loss Olympics), ways to reframe how you think about a child who is dying (Sacred, Not Scary), and most importantly, how to show up for people when they really need you not to shy away.

Ahhh the default parent. You're the one who knows everyone's diaper size, what day of the month preschool tuition is due, how much you owe the babysitter for last night and SO. MUCH. MORE. Enter Auggie. This week, I sat down with Lily Walla, the hilarious and smart founder of Auggie, the single platform for empowered parents to share recommendations, shop vetted products, and find community — from registry and beyond. Lily sat down with me to commiserate about life as the default parent (including shoutouts to our husbands about what we *really* want for Mothers Day) and how this never ending mental load inspired her to create Auggie! This week, Auggie launched their mobile app! You can download it here and get chatting and connecting with fellow default parents. Want to shop MY favorite registry items?

| Fixing Flat Heads Without Helmets with Baby Begin founder Jennifer Barnard | 15 May 2024 | 00:31:08 | |
Putting our newborns on their backs has been a lifesaving change in pediatrics, with one small (very small - keep doing it!) downside - all those great sleeping back sleepers sometimes get a bit of a flat head. Time panic? Not so, says Jennifer Barnard, the founder of Baby Begin, whose mission is to simplify plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and torticollis (tight neck), empowering parents with evidenced based information to make the best decisions for their baby. In this week's episode, Jennifer sits down with me to explain more about why and when plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and torticollis (tight neck) often occur, what parents can do to prevent and treat, and most importantly - if you are in a situation that requires a helmet for your baby - that's ok too (and frankly, it's quite adorable IMHO).

Today I'm sharing how, at a high level, I successfully potty trained my youngest child, Delaney, just two weeks ago! I'll share what I did before, why I chose to do it at this time, the wins and blips we experienced, and how this experience differed from what I did with her big brothers (especially my oldest son). Whether you're in the depths of potty training hell or just curious about how and when to start the process, my Potty Services are here for you! Less stress and less mess - that's the name of my game ;) Loved this episode? There is so much more where that came from: ️Subscribe....and Leave A Review....and Share with your Mom Friends!
