You're About to Become a Parent. Let's Talk About What No One Else Will.
Everyone tells you to "sleep now while you can." (As if you could store it up for later.) They share horror stories about never sleeping again. They warn you it'll be hard—but no one actually prepares you for what newborn sleep really looks like or how to handle it.
You're left wondering:
- Is my baby's sleep going to be normal, or a disaster?
- How do I keep my baby safe while everyone seems to have different advice?
- Will my partner and I survive this without resenting each other?
- What can I actually control when everything feels so uncertain?
This workshop answers those questions—before you're too exhausted to think clearly.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is designed for expectant parents who want to:
- Replace anxiety with preparation by understanding what normal newborn sleep actually looks like
- Avoid dangerous mistakes caused by conflicting information and unsafe products marketed as "solutions"
- Protect their relationship by creating a fair division of nighttime labor before resentment builds
- Feel confident instead of overwhelmed when their baby arrives and sleep becomes fragmented
- Control what's controllable through evidence-based safe sleep practices and environmental preparation
Whether you're a first-time parent or looking for updated, research-backed guidance, this workshop gives you the knowledge and practical tools to approach those early weeks with clarity rather than panic.
