The Things No One Told Us

 Toddlers are wild. And bedtime? Even wilder. In this episode, we’re sharing the funniest, most unbelievable toddler sleep stories you can imagine, from stripping naked and destroying closets to building wildly specific bedtime routines and outlasting their parents at every turn. If you’ve ever thought “my toddler is the most stubborn child ever,” you’re not alone. We break down why these behaviors happen, what’s really going on in their brains, and how boundaries and consistency actually turn things around. Come laugh with us, feel seen, and remember, there is a way through the chaos. 

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest missing pieces in the early months… the connection between feeding and sleep.We’re joined by feeding specialist Kimberly Wand to talk about why babies who aren’t feeding well often aren’t sleeping well, and what to actually look for.We cover • Why frequent night wakes can be feeding related • What it really means when babies fall asleep during feeds • Signs your baby may not be feeding efficientlyIf you’ve been stuck in short naps, constant wake ups, or all day snacking, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

 This episode is one you truly cannot make up. We are sharing the story of the time Abby went to a client’s home to begin support before they planned to head to the hospital… and ended up delivering the baby there. Completely unintentionally. What was supposed to be the start of a normal support visit quickly turned into an unforgettable, high intensity moment where instinct, experience, and staying calm under pressure took over. We walk through exactly what happened, what led up to it, and what it felt like in real time as things shifted fast and plans changed in an instant. This was never the plan. No one expected it to unfold this way. But sometimes birth has its own timeline. It is raw, a little wild, and a powerful reminder of just how unpredictable labour and delivery can be. You are going to want to hear this one. 

In this episode, Abby and Liz sit down with Dr. Crystal Corona of Grounded Wellness Chiro to talk about what chiropractic care really looks like during pregnancy and for babies.We cover how chiropractic support can help with pregnancy discomfort, breech positioning, feeding challenges, reflux, tension, and sleep, plus why these things are often more connected than parents realize.If you are pregnant, postpartum, or navigating life with a newborn, this is one of those conversations that can make so much click.Contact: Dr Crystal Corona DC, CACCP21038 Monza Loop,Land O Lakes, [email protected]://www.instagram.com/groundedwellnesschiro

In this episode, Abby and Liz talk honestly about what sleep training actually means to us. We unpack the guilt and hesitation so many parents feel, share pieces of our own sleep deprived seasons, and clear up some of the misinformation floating around online. We explain what we mean when we say sleep training, and why it is not about leaving a baby alone to cry or following a rigid formula. At its core, we see sleep training as teaching new skills, for babies and for parents, in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with each family. For sleep support please reach out at [email protected] or to either of us on social media.

 What really happens when friendship and business collide? In this episode, we’re telling the real story. How we met. How we both landed in sleep training and postpartum support. And how we work together today, even while running our own things. It’s ambition. Burnout. CEO dreams. Toddler brains. No hierarchy. No competition. Just trust. This is the behind-the-scenes no one sees.
