Sleep Training for Babies / Postpartum, Overstimulated, Naps, Baby Sleep, Newborn, Infants

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!

Do you ever feel like you’re doing so much for everyone else, but nobody sees how hard you’re working? Between feeding your baby, managing naps, working, and keeping your home running, motherhood can feel exhausting and unseen.
In this episode, I’m joined by author, speaker, and mom Jenessa Wait for a conversation about how God sees you in this season, even when your days feel repetitive and you wonder if you’re moving forward.
We talk about recognizing God’s work in everyday motherhood, knowing when to wait and when to take a step of faith, and making room for your gifts and dreams without adding more pressure to your plate. Jenessa also shares encouragement from her book, Moving with God, for the mom who feels stuck or wonders, “Is this all I’m doing with my life right now?”
Mama, the work that goes unnoticed still matters. And you do, too.

Does it feel like you’re the one who has to remember everything—the appointments, the groceries, the school forms, what’s for dinner, and what the baby needs next? That’s the mental load of motherhood, and it can leave you exhausted even when you haven’t stopped moving all day.
In this episode, I’m sharing three simple systems to get some of those reminders out of your head, make the week feel more manageable, and share responsibility at home. You don’t need a perfect routine. You need a place to start.
And if broken nights are making the mental load feel even heavier, a Sleep Clarity Call can help you make a personalized plan for your baby’s bedtime and overnight wakes.

Is your one year old still waking multiple times a night to nurse, take a bottle, be rocked, or come into your bed?
In this episode, I’m walking you through four practical steps to help your one-year-old sleep longer stretches and work toward sleeping through the night. We’ll talk about creating the right daytime schedule, separating feeding and rocking from falling asleep, choosing a consistent response for night wakings, and gradually reducing overnight feeds when appropriate.
You’ll learn how to comfort your baby while still giving them the opportunity to develop independent sleep skills. Because you don’t have to choose between being responsive and setting healthy, age-appropriate boundaries.
