Are you sick of feeling like you can’t show up for yourself or your kids as the mom you want to be, due to exhaustion? Do you crave time alone to fill your own cup, but can’t get it due to your children not sleeping? Are you tired of feeling dysregulated, exhausted, and overstimulated? Are you ready to be a more present and patient mother? I am so thankful you’re here, mama. This podcast will help you find more rest, joy, and peace in motherhood, by getting your baby or young kiddo to start sleeping through the night! Hey, I’m Alexa. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover who spent the first 6 months of my newborns life feeling beyond exhausted, anxious, and like a zombie just going through the motions. I wasn’t able to be a fully present mom or enjoy motherhood. Being riddled with anxiety and sleeping 3-5 hours a night just wasn’t working anymore…for me, my marriage, or my son! I was afraid to start sleep training, thinking maybe it wouldn’t work, or it would negatively affect my son’s development, or hurt our attachment. However…it did just the opposite. Sleep training changed our lives; my son was happier and well rested, my mental health slowly got better, I was able to BOND and be present with my son, and my home finally had some peace and predictability. However, I felt like my sleep training experience was missing something. It wasn’t customized specifically for my family, I had a lot of questions that didn’t get answered, and I could have used some non-judgmental support and encouragement while walking through the process! So, I created it for you. I went to work and got certified as a Sleep Training Consultant and a Postpartum Doula, so that I could create a space for moms to get complete support as they walk through sleep training their babies in a way that feels good for them. Inside this podcast, you will find sleep training solutions and tips for children aged newborn-6 years old, encouragement and community (you are not alone!!), tips on how to bring routines and predictability to your home, and how to feel a sense of joy and peace in motherhood again.

    EP 53 // What No One Tells You About Postpartum and Life With a New Baby with Nina Spears of The Baby Chick

    What does postpartum really look like behind closed doors, and why don’t we spend as much time preparing for life after birth as we do preparing for the birth itself? In this episode, I’m joined by Nina Spears, Founder and CEO of Baby Chick and author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy. We’re talking about the realities of postpartum and life with a new baby, including the hidden mental load of motherhood, the pressure to have a picture-perfect experience, and the practical support new moms actually need. Nina shares how moms can prepare their mindset, body, relationship, support system, and home for the transition into parenthood. We also discuss how partners can become proactive members of the postpartum team instead of waiting to be told what to do. Whether you’re currently pregnant, newly postpartum, or already navigating motherhood with a young baby, this conversation will help you feel more prepared, supported, and understood.   Check out all things Nina & The Baby Chick here: https://www.baby-chick.com/   FREE workshop: Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out”.

    EP 52 // Can I Sleep Train My Four-Month-Old Baby?

    Can you sleep train a four-month-old baby, or is four months too early for sleep training? In this episode, we’re talking about when to start sleep training, how the four-month sleep regression affects your baby’s sleep, and the signs that your baby may be ready. You’ll learn why I recommend waiting until the most disruptive part of the four-month sleep regression has passed, what gentle sleep training can look like at this age, and how to improve bedtime and night wakings while still responding to your baby’s needs. If your four-month-old won’t sleep, is waking frequently at night, taking short naps, or suddenly fighting bedtime, this episode will help you decide what to do next.   FREE workshop: Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out”.

    EP 50 // How to Sleep Train When Your Baby Has Separation Anxiety

    Is your baby suddenly crying the second you leave the room, fighting bedtime, or waking throughout the night just to make sure you’re still there? Separation anxiety can completely disrupt sleep, even if your baby was previously sleeping well. But it doesn’t mean you have to stop sleep training or choose between supporting your baby emotionally and getting the rest your family needs. In this episode, I’m sharing how to sleep train when your baby is experiencing separation anxiety. We’ll talk about how to tell if separation anxiety is really causing the sleep struggles, ways to strengthen connection during the day, how to create a reassuring bedtime routine, and which responsive sleep training methods may work best for your baby’s temperament. You’ll also learn how to handle middle-of-the-night wakings without accidentally creating new sleep habits you don’t want to continue. You can comfort your baby, protect your attachment, and still hold loving, consistent sleep boundaries. Responsive does not have to mean boundary-less.

    EP 49 // Postpartum Insomnia: Why You Can’t Sleep Even When the Baby Is Sleeping

    Are you completely exhausted but unable to sleep, even when your baby is finally asleep? Postpartum insomnia can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or quiet your racing thoughts, even when you desperately need rest. In this episode, we’re talking about why new moms can’t always “sleep when the baby sleeps,” how postpartum anxiety, hormonal changes, mental load, and an over-alert nervous system can affect maternal sleep, and why putting more pressure on yourself to fall asleep often makes insomnia worse. You’ll learn practical ways to calm your mind before bed, create a realistic postpartum bedtime routine, reduce nighttime anxiety, arrange protected sleep with your spouse or support person, and recognize when sleep problems may require additional medical or mental health support. If you’re struggling with postpartum sleep deprivation, racing thoughts at night, or feeling tired but wired after having a baby, this episode will remind you that you are not failing and you do not have to navigate it alone. I’m also inviting you to my free workshop, Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out,” where you’ll learn how to reduce your baby’s night wakings and create longer, more predictable stretches of sleep using a gentle and responsive approach.   FREE workshop: Sleep Through the Night Without “Cry It Out”.

We’ll talk about age-appropriate wake windows, nap schedules, bedtime routines, independent sleep skills, night feedings, and how to choose a responsive sleep training method that fits your baby’s temperament and your family’s values. You’ll learn how to help your baby fall asleep independently, reduce night wakings, and sleep longer stretches without leaving them alone to cry.
