  • Picture your body as a symphony orchestra, and sleep as the conductor ensuring every instrument plays its part to perfection. Without this maestro, the melody of your health and well-being falls out of tune. That's the power of sleep – the unsung hero orchestrating harmony in our lives.

    This episode of Thriving Parent-ing explores the importance and benefits of establishing a sleep routine for babies, detailing the differences between a sleep routine and a schedule, and how each can positively affect a baby's sleep habits and overall wellbeing. The episode highlights how regular sleep routines and patterns can lead to more restful sleep for both babies and parents. I also discussed the pivotal role of the circadian rhythm in establishing healthy sleep habits, offering insightful tips on creating a simple, adaptable sleep routine that suits both the baby's and the parent's needs, while also leaving room for flexibility. 

    The episode aims to empower parents with knowledge and tools to improve their baby's sleep, making parenting more enjoyable and less stressful.

  • We’re all familiar with the phrase, “where there’s a will, there’s a way” and, when it comes to making changes in parenting and throughout our lives, we need both a strong will and a clear way, to achieve successful change that lasts. 

    In this episode, I explore the reason why change is so important as our children themselves change, grow and evolve, and the secret to how you implement real change, that is long-lasting, in your parenting.

    So, if you’ve been feeling stuck lately, or feel like any changes you try to make are short-lived before you go right back to the beginning again, then this episode is for you.

  • In today’s episode we are busting the longstanding myth that we need to ‘teach’ our babies how to fall asleep!

    This powerful mindset reframe will change your approach to your baby’s sleep and will provide you with what you can be focusing when it comes to supporting your baby in this process. We’ll also be exploring the difference between self-soothing and self-settling and how you can use this to identify the areas you can control and can harness to improve your baby’s transition to sleep.

  • In today’s episode we are talking all about mindset, which is one of my favourite areas to talk about because it is such a powerful tool when it comes to our quality and fulfilment in life.

     

    Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology, identified that people tend to fall into two categories when it comes to mindset – a fixed mindset, where people believe their abilities and intelligence cannot be changed, and a growth mindset, where people believe they can develop and improve through effort, learning and perseverance.

     

    In this episode, I’ll be exploring how these opposing mindsets manifest when it comes to parenting, and the power that having a growth mindset has when it comes to overcoming challenges and obstacles, responding to criticism, handling stress and responding to the success of others.

     

    I’ll also be exploring where our mindsets are established, how we can nurture a growth mindset when it comes to our parenting, and how this can boost your parenting ability.

  • There’s no escaping the fact that parenting sometimes just feels hard, and there are many valid reasons for this; we’re doing it without prior experience, we’re sleep-deprived, and we’re raising human beings from scratch!

     

    But we have the power to shift our mindset and reframe our thoughts, to make conscious changes to how our brain thinks and how our body feels.

     

    In this episode, I explore 5 areas that are holding you back from thriving in your parenting and making it feel harder than it needs to, and I share some steps and changes that you make in your day-to day to reframe your thinking, regain control, honour your needs and ultimately find more ease in your parenting.

     

    So if parenting’s feeling hard lately, settle in and enjoy this episode, because this one’s for you.

  • Welcome Thrivers, to the first episode of Thriving Parent-ing! I’m so glad you’re here!

    Today I am talking about self-soothing, why I believe that having it as your baby’s ultimate sleep goal is actually your parenting nemesis, and what to focus on instead.

    By reframing this focus point, you can shift your perspective and feel more secure and confident in your parenting.

    I’ll be breaking down what self-soothing and self-regulation are, the ages at which these tend to develop (whilst remembering that all our babies are unique!) and I’ll be talking about the small steps and building blocks you can be shifting your focus to instead. 

    It's these 1-2% changes you can start implementing right now that will ultimately make the biggest difference, because they’ll help to foster trust, safety and confidence around sleep. 

    By taking the pressure off yourself and your parenting, you can sit in the more comfortable place of developing your confidence and skills, rather than focusing on that end goal. So if you’ve been feeling like you’re failing, or like your goal of getting your baby to self-soothe is out of reach, this is the episode for you.
