Today I had the honor of speaking with sleep specialist Kim Hawley. We share a love for biologically normal infant sleep and a whole-family approach to make sure everyone's needs are met with compassion and empathy and realistic science-backed expectations.

Kim Hawley, MA, MPH, IBCLC is a Holistic Sleep Coach, Lactation Consultant, Peaceful Parenting Educator, mom, and the host of The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast. She helps tired parents bring together developmental knowledge, sleep science, and their intuition to improve family sleep. Her specialty is holistic, responsive sleep support for babies, toddlers, and nursing families. Kim lives in Capitol Hill, Washington DC with her husband, 2 kids, guide dog, and cat. She loves
running, listening to audio books, coffee, chocolate, and wine.

Sunshine Boatright will share a bit of her story and how to find harmony and the middle ground when you're tempted to pendulum swing too far in the name of breaking generational curses. She is a great example of self-advocacy, advocacy for our children, and advocacy for other parents breaking the cycle!

We all have emotions we struggle to manage sometimes and the older we get the more shame we carry that we still struggle! This is one part of the process that I've found profoundly helpful and given me a sense of peace and groundedness. I share them here with you to encourage you to process your overwhelming feelings and uncover the messages they are trying to deliver. Feelings are fine. We can even learn from them. If you're feeling overwhelmed and need support in this endeavor, set up a free call to see what I might be able to do to help.
