The Snooze Button: Baby & Toddler Sleep, Simplified

This is the episode for anyone whose nanny or mother in law told them something like...."sleep training causes brain damage", or "I can't believe you're doing xyz, I could never." Few things are as deflating and stressful to a parent as someone else in their life, especially someone who has experience with children, telling them that not only did the make the wrong choice, but they made a choice that is somehow harmless or mean to their child. As if we don' t have enough damn Mom guilt already! This episode is not a list of come back or links to a million studies you can share to try to prove your point. We're not going to try and convince anyone to agree with us today. Instead, I'm arming you with the tools to stick with a POV that you feel aligned with, to be careful with who you hire and allow into your home, and how to (kindly) hold boundaries with friends or family members who try to undermine your choices. No matter what - remember that you are an incredible parent who deserves to be supported by those around him/her! Loved this episode?

Buy Less...and Dress To Impress? Fashion editor turned style icon Harling Ross Anton is here to drop some serious shopping knowledge (and share her sleep & happiness transformation after working with me as a client!) Sometimes choosing not to purchase something is as satisfying as choosing to purchase it. So says my lovely client Harling Ross Anton, the former Man Repeller editor turned Gumshoe creator & writer. Harling joined me on The Snooze Button this week to share her expertise on how to hunt for hidden gems (spoiler - shop off season), why fabrics and measurements matter so much, and even how to shop for pregnancy and baby clothes. We also chatted about Harling's experience working with me to improve her baby's son's sleep & feeding challenges - I can say personally, it's a really special transformation story. Whether you are fashion forward or starved for style, this is an episode you won't want to miss! Want to learn more of Harling's tips for vintage and small brand shopping? Be sure to subscribe to her Substack newsletter, Gumshoe, and follow her on Instagram.

Do you ever feel pressure to subscribe to ALL aspects of the persona you've adopted as a parent? Have you labeled yourself "A Tiger Mom" "A Crunchy Mom" "A Stay At Home Mom" and noticed you're pulling away (even subconsciously) from behaviors or activities that you think don't align with that identity? Now's the time to stop and go do that thing. Whether you're a crunchy Mom who kinda wants to dabble in Botox or a tiger Mom doesn't actually want to send her kids to Kumon this summer, I hope this episode gives you the push to create your own unique identity, so you can lean into your true self and so your kids are empowered one day to do the same.

In today's episode we're discussing how to get those small, consistent hits of dopamine that only come with setting small, realistic time bound goals. The more of them you stick with, the more of them you'll commit to, and low and behold, by the end of the year you will indeed have drank less, saved money and been a more present parent.
