Mom Burnout & Sleep Training | It's Not Really About Sleep

Everyone talks about sleepless nights. Nobody talks about what they actually do to you your mood, your confidence, your identity, your relationship, your ability to function at work. Download free guide - https://herhealthroom.kit.com/postpar... In this episode, I sit down with Temi from Gentle Baby Sleep (Instagram: GentleBabySleepHelp) Help to have the honest conversation. Temi is a sleep and postnatal wellbeing consultant who works with families globally. We cover everything from newborns to toddlers sneaking into your bed at 3am, the shame around sleep training, what gentle sleep support actually involves (spoiler: it's not a no-cry method), the unregulated wellness space, loneliness in motherhood, community, and why representation matters when you're looking for help. If you're a new mum, a mum going back to work, or you're just tired and can't remember the last time you watched a full episode of something this one's for you. 📲 Instagram: @herhealthroom 🌐 Website: herhealthroom.com Find Temi: Website: gentlebabysleephelp.com Free 20-minute consultation: gentlebabysleephelp.com If you want to contribute to the podcast fill out this form and we will get back to you - https://forms.gle/owoSEoRCSvTTf9CL7 Time Stamps 0:00 Intro – The hidden cost of sleep deprivation for new moms 1:40 How Temi became a sleep consultant 4:11 Sleep training in the news – the BBC investigation 8:03 What state are mothers in when they seek help? 13:33 Returning to work & when sleep deprivation really hits 18:52 Loneliness & isolation in motherhood 22:45 Matrescence & the identity shift of becoming a mother 23:40 What does sleep deprivation really look like? 27:20 Temi's own experience with 3 children 31:13 Gentle sleep training – it's not cry-it-out 35:13 Advice for parents of toddlers still coming into your bed 46:43 The importance of asking for help & community 48:20 Representation in the postnatal wellness space #postpartum #sleeptraining #maternalburnout #babysleep #postnatalwellbeing #newmum #motherhood #herhealthroom #gentlesleeptraining #matrescence
