Amanda's story, bringing Winnie and Norah into the world. ( and a hell of a lot of sleep chat)

This week I am talking to Amanda. As you all know she helped me sleep train Cub the second time around.

She has gone from being online friends to an IRL friend. In fact, it’s our first in-person meet recording this podcast. We talk about her bringing her two daughters into the world and how she went from being a teacher to a full-time sleep consultant. How she suffered from anxiety and how that showed up for her as a mother.

We talked a lot about sleep.

I want to start by saying this episode is not here to force you to sleep train. Or to make you feel bad about how much of little sleep you are getting. There is no judgment in this space and we both come from a place off knowing its not right for everyone or the time for everyone. We just hope whatever you are doing, you are getting enough and feeling good.

We are both passionate about how sleep has changed our lives and also the importance of taking fear and shame out of the conversation. So we try to squash any myths with facts.

I can't even express how much @babysbestsleep has saved me from the depths of despair, but she did. I was a true skeptic. Until I had Cub I had no need to sleep train, but everything changed and I just couldn't cope, put simply nothing else worked. I hope you enjoy Amanda’s story and that you find it informative. I also hope the facts and our experiences provide some comfort, if you need it.

As you can hear for yourself Amanda is so passionate about helping people. She is straight-talking, funny, kind and REALLY knows her stuff. Thank you again Amanda for making the impossible, possible. For easing my anxious mind and giving my cranky, sleepless baby a new lease of life and a hell of a lot more sleep. Not to mention how incredibly different I feel. I couldn't do this podcast and all that does long with it, on no sleep.

Oh, and we talk about the @profemilyoster books, "expecting better " and ‘crib sheet’ for those interested in reading you can buy both on amazon.
