In this heartfelt episode of Thriving Parenting, we explore the deep emotional layers often overlooked when trying to solve ongoing baby sleep challenges. If you've ever bought all the guides, tried all the strategies, and still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or on the verge of burnout—this one's for you.

Jen unpacks the hidden reason why strategies fall flat: unresolved stress, nervous system dysregulation, and the weight of doing it all while feeling unsupported. Through personal insight, lived experience, and client stories, she explains why you matter just as much as your baby does in the sleep journey—and how recognising your own needs is the missing link to real, lasting change.

She also introduces the brand-new Thriving Together Membership—a nurturing, non-judgemental space for stressed parents to heal, grow, and finally feel supported. Expect weekly live Q&As, monthly masterclasses, and a village that gets it.

Is bedtime becoming a battle? You're not alone — and there's more going on than just “over tiredness.” In this bite-size episode, Jen unpacks three surprising reasons your baby or toddler might be resisting sleep right now — and delivers five practical strategies to help you shift from bedtime chaos to calm.

From misunderstood "over tiredness" to under-stimulation and developmental leaps, this episode dives deep into why your little one might be struggling to settle — and how you can meet them with compassion, cues, and calm.

You’ll learn:

• Why “over tiredness” is often mislabelled — and what’s really happening in your baby’s body
• How to spot the difference between under tiredness and a growth spurt
• What developmental leaps have to do with sleep resistance
• 5 simple, actionable ways to create smoother sleep transitions (without sleep battles!)
