    sleep training with Slumber & Bloom

    Missy from Slumber & Bloom is back on From 9 to Mom and this time we’re tackling one of the biggest parenting debates out there: sleep training. If you heard her first episode with us about potty training, you already know she brings practical advice without the judgment… and we were excited to have her back. In this episode, Missy breaks down what sleep training actually is (and what it isn’t), the science behind how kids learn to sleep independently, and why good sleep is so important for both kids and parents. We talk about when to start sleep training, how long it typically takes, and the different methods families can use depending on their child’s temperament and their own comfort level. We also get into the real-life challenges parents face. Think sleep regressions, daycare naps, pacifiers, white noise, transitioning to big kid beds, and those moments when you’re questioning every parenting decision at 2 AM. Missy shares how to build a sleep plan that actually works for your child, plus strategies to stay consistent while still parenting with love and boundaries. If bedtime at your house feels like a nightly marathon, this episode will leave you with practical tools, reassurance, and a reminder that better sleep really is possible.

    gut health with Club Gevity

    Your gut is doing way more behind the scenes than just digesting lunch. It’s basically the control center for your energy, sleep, mood, hormones… and honestly, how you survive motherhood without running entirely on coffee. ☕️ In this episode of From 9 to Mom, Catie and Danielle sit down with health optimization expert Kyle Napier to talk about the surprisingly powerful role gut health plays in how moms actually feel day to day. Kyle breaks down the gut in a way that finally makes sense. Think of it like a garden. What you feed it, how stressed you are, and even how you were born can all impact the balance of microbes living inside you. And when that balance gets thrown off? Hello low energy, poor sleep, hormone issues, and feeling like you’re dragging yourself through the day. The conversation dives into how stress and cortisol can literally create tiny holes in the gut lining, why moms are especially vulnerable to gut issues, and how personalized testing like blood work and stool testing can reveal what’s actually going on inside your body. Kyle also shares insight into early microbiome development in kids, the impact of birth methods, and why quick fixes rarely solve the real problem. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re exhausted even after sleeping, constantly bloated, or just feel “off,” this episode connects a lot of dots. And here’s a bonus for listeners: Kyle is offering $100 off his health optimization program for From 9 to Mom listeners.
