Is your baby suddenly waking more at night? Crying the second you leave the room? Refusing naps or bedtime routines they used to handle just fine? It could be separation anxiety—a completely normal (but totally exhausting) phase many babies and toddlers go through.

In this episode of Creating Well-Rested Families, I’m breaking down:

• What separation anxiety actually is and why it’s a good sign for your child’s development
• When separation anxiety typically starts (and how long it lasts)
• The most common signs your baby or toddler is experiencing it
• Gentle, responsive ways to support your child through separation anxiety—especially around sleep
• What not to do when your baby is struggling with separation
• And my favorite trick to make your baby’s sleep space more comforting using your natural scent

Whether you're parenting a clingy 9-month-old or a preschooler suddenly scared to sleep alone, this episode will give you practical tools (and a whole lot of reassurance).

Have you ever felt trapped by your child’s sleep schedule?

Like you have to be the one doing bedtime, the one waking up at night, the one carrying the weight of sleep struggles? I’ve been there. For almost a year, my oldest daughter relied on me for sleep—meaning no flexibility, no breaks, and no trips without major stress.

But this past week, I attended the Mom 2.0 Summit for three days, and you know what? My kids slept just fine without me. My husband handled bedtime without a hitch. And it hit me—this is exactly why I do what I do.

In this episode, I’m sharing:
✅ My personal journey from being my child’s only sleep crutch to creating true sleep independence
✅ Why sleep training isn’t just about sleep—it’s about freedom and balance for your whole family
✅ The reality of parenting partnerships and how my husband and I support each other
✅ How YOU can break the cycle and create sustainable sleep habits for your baby

If you’re feeling stuck, if you’re craving flexibility, if you want your baby to sleep well so your whole family can thrive—this episode is for you!
