100 Sleep Coaching with Shelly Taft, LPN, IBCLC

In this episode, we gather for a post-show recap after our Deeper Dive into Sleep Coaching with expert Shelly Taft. We kick things off by tackling the delicate dance between lactation support and sleep coaching—because helping babies sleep while helping them eat is basically the professional equivalent of juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle. We also talk about something that helping professionals are famously bad at: self-care. You know, that thing we all enthusiastically recommend to clients and then immediately forget to do ourselves. “15 to 20 minutes after the baby falls asleep is when they enter their deepest sleep state, so they're less likely to wake up.” In this episode, we will cover: Self-care practices to help you start the day slowly instead of jumping into business (4:05) Moving away from hustle culture to create a more balanced lifestyle (9:06) Working with families facing sleep-related issues (18:24) The importance of collaborative learning (20:10) Each month we host a live Deeper Dive so you can connect with us, our special guests, and each other + get lifetime access to the recording!
