Recently I was able to practice finding rest in motherhood by holding a boundary by encouraging Lilah to stay over at her dad’s house. As we’ve entered this new norm of her staying at her dad’s house more often, I know the transition isn’t 100% easy for her, but it is a necessary one that she (and I) will be better for. This leads me into what I want to talk about today when it comes to protecting your mental health in motherhood – specifically in regards to protecting yourself against comparing yourself to other moms on the internet or in your real life, feeling like you're maybe not doing it right or like you're being judged. I know I could cover this topic on probably 100 different podcast episodes, but specifically what I want to cover today is protecting ourselves against those feelings of comparison that are so common in this day and age of social media. Listen to the full episode because I’m sharing three easy, reasonable, and actionable steps to help you work through feelings of not enoughness.

Did you know that your child’s healthy gut starts in the first 1000 days of life? Join me for an eye-opening conversation on all things gut health with Cheryl Sew Hoy, a mama of two and the founder of Tiny Health, the #1 gut test for moms & babies 0-3 years old. Research shows that your gut health is intimately intertwined with your baby’s all throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. Improving imbalances in your child’s gut doesn’t only help with digestive health, but also prevents chronic conditions and allergies and even positively affects sleep! Cheryl and I discuss how to nurture your child’s (and yours!) microbiome from pregnancy to 3+ years and beyond so you can thrive as a family.

Today I want to chat about something that isn’t directly related to sleep, but is something that I often get asked about – potty training. However, I like to call it potty learning because it is possible to use a child led approach. I don’t like the term “training” whether we’re talking about sleep or using the bathroom because we shouldn’t have to train our kids to do anything. In my point of view, it’s cold and dehumanizing. Our children already know how to go to the bathroom, we just have to let them get comfortable with the new experience of using the toilet instead of a diaper. Just like with sleep, our kids will learn how to use the bathroom in their own unique timing (sans any developmental delays), but we have to give them the time and space to do so. Tune into this episode to learn how!
