    Ep.45 | Simplifying Motherhood: One Holistic Path to Baby Sleep, Feeding & Regulation

    What if everything you’ve been trying to figure out in motherhood—your baby’s sleep, their feeding struggles, their reflux, their fussiness—was actually all connected? In this deeply personal episode, host Kaili Ets, pediatric OT and mama of two, shares why she’s merging all of her courses, workshops, and resources into one holistic path: The Holistic Baby Flow Method™.

This isn’t a tips-and-tricks episode. It’s a heartfelt reflection on the emotional and energetic transformation that happens when we stop treating everything in silos—and start creating systems that truly serve. In this episode, Kaili shares: ✔ Why she’s letting go of multiple courses and offers ✔ The hidden cost of fragmentation (for mamas and babies) ✔ How her personal grief led to a professional rebirth ✔ Why nervous system safety is the common thread behind sleep, reflux, and regulation ✔ A sneak peek at the Holistic Baby Flow Method™ coming soon Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome 01:00 – A heart-to-heart about slowing down 02:00 – The impact of grief & burnout 04:30 – Too many tabs open: why fragmentation isn’t helping 06:00 – The invisible load of motherhood 07:15 – Letting go of control & trusting your body 08:30 – Why everything is connected 09:00 – What families actually need 10:00 – Introducing the Holistic Baby Flow Method 11:00 – A collective invitation to simplify 🎁 Want to be the first to hear about the Baby Flow Method launch?
