Motherhood isn't always picture-perfect, and this episode dives into the realities that many hesitate to talk about. Keira Rumble joins us to share her incredible journey of juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship, offering raw insights into the vulnerabilities and resilience needed to thrive. We laugh, we cry, and most importantly, we bond over shared experiences like the physical toll of motherhood, managing postpartum rage, and the endless mental load of daily parenting tasks. From the frustrations of picky eaters and high chair clean-ups to the exhausting challenges of toilet training and maintaining bedtime routines, this episode is as relatable as it is enlightening. And let's not forget those humbling moments—breastfeeding on a crowded plane, anyone?

Join us as we underscore the importance of self-care and support systems, highlighting the role of fellow mothers and friends in alleviating feelings of isolation. We also discuss practical tips, from the unexpected benefits of a proper bra fitting to managing the intricate balance between setting boundaries and allowing children to explore freely. Don’t forget to connect with the Mum Era community on Instagram and Facebook, where we continue these important conversations and support each other through the beautiful chaos of motherhood. We’re excited to have you with us on this journey!

Renee and Olivia open up about the sleepless nights that many parents face, sharing how anxiety and societal pressure can amplify the struggle of getting their kids to sleep. They recount their own experiences with sleep deprivation and its effects on mental health and relationships, offering a sense of solidarity and understanding to fellow sleep-deprived parents. Through their authentic and heartfelt narratives, they stress the importance of trusting one's intuition and filtering out the noise of unsolicited advice.

We are also joined by Kristy, the Sleep Teacher, who turned her own challenges with her daughter's sleep regression into a career dedicated to helping families find rest. Kristy provides us with a behind-the-scenes look at her journey to becoming a certified sleep consultant, emphasising the significance of proper training amidst a crowded and sometimes controversial field.

In this episode, we explore various strategies for improving children's sleep, from feeding routines to self-settling techniques, and the emotional hurdles of sleep training. Kristy shares her insights on creating effective bedtime routines, phasing out sleep associations like dummies, and the importance of responsive parenting. Olivia shares the nuanced process of building sleep pressure through daytime activities and adapting sleep schedules to fit each child's unique rhythms. This episode is packed with practical advice and supportive stories aimed at helping parents create a smoother, more restful bedtime experience.
