Postpartum sleep deprivation is real — and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
In this episode, we talk about why it’s not biologically normal for babies to sleep through the night at 2–4 months old, despite what many sleep programs and “quick-fix” sleep solutions promise.
If you’re an exhausted postpartum mom feeling pressure to fix your baby’s sleep, this episode will help normalize infant sleep patterns, release unrealistic expectations, and remind you that frequent night waking is a normal part of early development.
You’re not failing — you’re responding to your baby.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest beliefs mothers carry — that we need to do more to feel worthy, valuable, successful, or “good enough.” And I’m sharing why that belief no longer holds power in my life… and why it doesn’t need to in yours either.
We’re talking about the roots of this pressure, how the world measures motherhood versus how God measures motherhood, and the emotional load that comes with constantly trying to prove yourself.
This episode will leave you grounded, reassured, and reminded that your worth isn’t found in how much you do — but in who you are and the love you pour into your home.

In this episode, we dive into the reality of postpartum sleep deprivation and why rest is one of the most important parts of a new mom’s healing journey. You’ll learn what’s actually happening in your body and brain when you’re not sleeping, how it impacts your emotions, and practical, grace-filled ways to prioritize rest even in the middle of newborn chaos.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving yourself permission to rest, release guilt, and trust that God meets you in the stillness.
