    I love that a lot of the episodes are short, quick, easy. It’s like you get what you need without a bunch of fluff and then you can move on.

  • Not much substance

    Listened to sleep episode and it was not helpful at all. Lacking substance just a bunch of platitudes like “don’t compare yourself” and “all kids are different”

  • BEST podcast for expecting mamas!

    I discovered Trish’s podcast early on in my pregnancy and started BINGEING every episode. I wanted to learn as much as I could as a first time mom and boy, I did just that! Because of how amazing this podcast is, I also decided to join the birth course, which provided me with even more knowledge to prepare me for my birth. I’ve never felt more calm and prepared as a first time mom! Definitely give this podcast a listen!! You won’t regret it!

    I’m so grateful I found Trish, this podcast, and her birth course! I’m pregnant with my second baby, and I have learned so much from this podcast about birth in general and how to advocate for myself and make informed decisions regarding my birth. Eternally grateful for all this woman has shared with the world!

Baby Sleep Tips Without Guilt, Pressure, or “Cry It Out” Method
Q: What are the three tips Chrissy gives for new moms?
First, seek support and remind yourself that you're doing enough. Second, prioritize daytime sleep to improve nighttime sleep. Third, tune into both your own needs and your child's development, releasing support gradually as the child becomes more independent.
Baby Sleep Tips Without Guilt, Pressure, or “Cry It Out” Method
Q: What are the core ideas behind Chrissy's approach to infant sleep?
Chrissy emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all method; sleep training should be tailored to each family, focusing on attunement between parent and child, gradual release of support, and using a four-pillars framework to optimize daytime sleep and build healthy nighttime patterns.

Unexplained Infertility: What It REALLY Means & What to Do Next with Dr. Sasha Hakman | 246
Q: What should someone do first if they're worried about infertility?
