Beyond Sleep: Transforming the Stories That Keep You Stuck in Your Parenting and How to Move Them
Description
This episode of Thriving Parent-ing dives beneath sleep tactics into the stories we tell ourselves—especially in hard moments. Through a real Sleep Godmother client case, we surface three common beliefs that stall progress, unpack why they feel so true in the moment, and show how nervous-system-first tools help you move from stuck to steady, with changes that actually last.
What you'll learn:
- The 3 sticky stories that keep parents looping at sleep time
- Why crying with a caregiver present is not harmful—and how co-regulation builds safety and resilience
- How your brain’s survival wiring (fight/flight/freeze) makes old patterns feel “safer” than change
- The difference between short-lived stress of change vs ongoing stress of fragmented sleep
- Working within your (and your child’s) challenge zone so change is doable, not overwhelming
- A practical, step-by-step way to pace adjustments and keep momentum
