Sleep Training Solutions for Christian Moms / Postpartum, Overstimulated, Christian Mom, Baby Sleep Schedule, Overwhelmed
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. So go reheat your coffee- I’m sure for the 10th time today ;) - and listen up, mama! Because you matter, too!

If your baby falls asleep at bedtime… only to wake up crying 30, 45, or 90 minutes later, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re talking about false starts- one of the most common (and frustrating) sleep struggles between 5–18 months.
You’ll learn:
What a false start actually is
What’s happening in your baby’s body during that first sleep cycle
The four most common causes
Why cutting naps or keeping your baby up later often makes it worse
Where to start if bedtime keeps falling apart
False starts are not a parenting failure. They’re usually a schedule alignment issue, and misalignment can be adjusted.
If bedtime has been confusing or discouraging, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
I pray this brings you rest, and remember…you matter too, mama!
Ready for a Step-by-Step Plan?
If you want the exact order to fix false starts, with age-specific adjustments and clear schedule guidance, I created a practical guide to walk you through it.

Your baby used to sleep… and now suddenly isn’t. What happened?

You’ll learn:
The most common reasons sleep regresses
Why inconsistency keeps night wakings going
3 grounded steps to stabilize sleep again
And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, I’ll share what support can look like beyond late night Googling.
I pray this brings you rest, and remember…you matter too, mama!

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I don’t want my baby to cry at all” and “I cannot survive another night like this,” this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the framework I use inside my sleep plans (the SELAH Sleep Method) and explaining how I actually approach sleep in a way that’s honest, effective, and supportive.
SELAH is not a no-cry approach, and it’s not full extinction. It’s a balanced, intentional method that helps families see real progress without abandoning their baby or their values.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why so many parents feel stuck between sleep training extremes
What the SELAH Sleep Method is and who it’s not for
How structure and support can coexist
Why crying during sleep learning doesn’t automatically mean harm
How stabilizing sleep first often leads to faster, smoother progress
If you’ve been craving peaceful nights and clarity without guilt or pressure, this episode will give you language, reassurance, and a grounded way forward.
I pray this brings you rest, and remember…you matter to God, and you matter to me!!

In this episode, we’re breaking down the dream feed- what it is, who it can help, and when it may not be the right fit.
If your baby is still waking frequently overnight and you’re wondering whether a dream feed could support longer stretches of sleep (without adding stress or guilt), this episode is for you. We talk through one simple shift to using the dream feed as support, not pressure, and how to decide if it makes sense for your baby and your family.
This is a calm, realistic conversation meant to reduce confusion, ease anxiety, and help you feel more confident navigating nighttime sleep.
Perfect for tired mamas who want clarity instead of overwhelm, and support instead of guessing.
I pray this brings you rest, and remember…you matter too, mama!

Bedtime with toddlers can feel like a hostage negotiation: 47 requests for water, endless “one more story!” pleas, and a mama who is completely touched out and frustrated by 8:30 pm.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why bedtime is so hard for toddlers (it’s not just “defiance”) and walking you through 3 gentle, Christ centered boundaries that make nights more peaceful again.
You’ll learn how to build a simple, predictable routine, how to front load connection so your child isn’t desperate for attention at lights out, and how to hold clear, kind limits when the stalling starts-without yelling, shaming, or drowning in mom guilt.

If you’re a tired mama craving peace, rhythm, and faith-based guidance, this one is for you.
