Mama Matters Too / Sleep Training, Postpartum, Overstimulated, Christian Mom, Baby Sleep Schedule
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!
