Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 99 W/Kandra Becerra

Kandra is a sleep expert who helps people with their sleeping journey with their children. At the age of 27, she started her mama journey after going through infertility for years. Shaping her journey as a wife and mother, infertility needs to be understood on another level. She had really hard pregnancies and was in and out of the hospitals and threw up every day all day long. Being on the other end of that journey feels really good because it was really difficult. "Being a mom is a growing journey learning who you are." Having a great childhood doesn't always mean you don't have triggers that can really throw you for a loop. She realized through her kids Occupational therapies that she couldn't regulate her needs to escape the over stimulation. She never realized she had anger issues until it happened but growing and learning as a mom is so important. As a mom, you become a different version of who you have always been. Her village was amazing and so supportive during her start of mamahood. She has 6 grandparents for her boys and has never had to pay for daycare! Her best mama moment happened this last Christmas when she planned, and completed the best movie night with her three boys and how special that was to all of them.  She wishes she knew that some kids don't sleep during the day!  She felt she was the only person on the planet with a newborn who struggled to sleep during the day. That's SO normal but she didn't know that.  You can find her at: rockymountainsleepingbaby.com
