Lots of women are feeling burned out and frustrated in their current leadership roles, often balancing caregiving responsibilities with midlife transitions and everything in between. It may feel easier to step down or change careers but society needs amazing women in powerful positions.

Excited to be speaking at this event!

As an important executive leader, you find ways around unique challenges because your drive won’t take no for an answer. There’s nothing that can stop you... with one exception... with success comes stress.

That unexplained sleepless night or a sudden headache can all be linked to stress, and eventually burnout. But because we’ve come to accept stress as part of our everyday lives, these small signals can easily create irreversible complications.

Accepting stress won't ward off burn out. You actually need to treat it with the same focused attention as you do your important and powerful role. The sooner you do, the sooner stress will stop subtracting years off from your life.

Join us and dozens of other executive women leaders. Take a 'ME' day to recharge yourself to continue on your powerful leadership role.

When: Wednesday, June 7th, 7:00 am – 3:30 pm EST
Where: The Toronto Hunt
Includes: A delicious and nutritious breakfast, lunch and reception at the end of the day.

Early Bird Pricing on now - only for the next 2 weeks!

Thinking Like A Good Sleeper 💡

Recently a client told me that she and her husband had stopped talking about how bad their sleep was. She went on to share that she had noticed a shift in how her kids were falling asleep and that overall things felt calmer. She thought that maybe because the focus had moved away from the negative parts about sleep, and towards the positive, things were getting better.

This story made my heart sing as it highlights the importance of thinking like a good sleeper. Sign up for my newsletter in my bio ⬆️ to learn more about how shifting your mindset just might be the thing you need to get better sleep!

TESTIMONIAL - My goal is to help parents feel empowered and apply their learning to their particular situation. ⁠⁠
Family sleep is not a one size fits all situation. It looks different for everyone. The most important piece is that both babe and mama are well-rested. That is when families thrive. ⁠⁠

EASING INTO SEPTEMBER

It's hard to believe we are in the last week of August. For many families, the beginning of September means a huge shift in the timing of routines.  The past six months have most likely led to later bedtimes and rise times, especially for our teenagers, and it is unfair and unrealistic to expect families to adjust easily and without some sort of practice.  

Set yourself up for success by following these steps for a more easeful September:

💫Start by having everyone go to bed 15 minutes earlier every few nights until you reach your desired bedtime (see recommendations in the Blog, link in my profile).

💫Start waking your kids 15 minutes earlier every few days, until you reach your desired wake time, even on the weekend!

💫Open the curtains and get outside first thing in the morning to help shift the circadian clock to an overall earlier schedule.  

💫Be firm when devices need to be turned off. Everyone in the family needs a 30-minute buffer period before lights out to transition into a relaxed and calm state of mind necessary for the sleep process.

💫Refer to the chart in my Blog (link in profile) and lay out the timing expectations for the whole family. Everyone always does better when they know what to expect. Furthermore, having a family discussion on the importance of sleep, and how it truly is a superpower for better learning, emotional well-being and sports performance, can do wonders for motivating kids to get into bed at an appropriate hour.

💫Finally, remember that consistency is key! The more regular the bedtime, the easier it will be to fall asleep and stay asleep.

WHY SLEEP TRAINING IS NOT MY JAM
Too often families are led to believe that sleep training is a necessary part of the parenting journey.  It can be a really contentious issue in parenting groups, families, and even between partners.
Often referred to as ferberization or "crying it out", sleep training is a behavioural method used to help children learn to sleep independently. ⁠The guy behind the term ferberize, Richard Ferber, is best known for his 1985 book Solving Your Child's Sleep Problems. His approach focused on having a child practice falling asleep on their own and in some (most?) cases that would mean leaving them to cry.  Historically, the cry it out method was used as a quick way to get infants or children falling asleep independently and consequently sleeping longer stretches.  This became especially important for parents who had to go back to work shortly after a baby was born, in some cases as early as 9 weeks.
With longer parental leaves and more parents working from home, I think now is a good time to examine this belief that in order to get more sleep we have to sleep train.
If you are interested in learning more about how to get your baby sleeping by focusing instead on infant sleep foundations, sleep science and age appropriate routines, I will be hosting a virtual workshop this Tuesday, April 23 at 11 am. Link in my Bio.

There is still time to sign up!!
Join me Tuesday at 11 am to discuss all there is to know about infant sleep in the first year. We will discuss infant sleep science, age appropriate sleep expectations, settling techniques and healthy sleep foundations you can begin putting into place now to help your baby sleep longer stretches.
My philosophy is there is no need for sleep training if you have the knowledge and are able to put in the time and practice of supportive sleep foundations.
“I recently attended a 4th trimester series where Jessica was a guest speaker. She gave us practical and easy to follow information when it come to helping our babies get the best start when it comes to sleep.”

I see you, Mamas. Mamas with newborns, infants, toddlers, kids and teens. I see you doing everything you can to support your families right now. To provide an unwavering force. I see you trying to find moments for yourself so you can continue to offer this calm. We are driven to protect and care for our brood, but right now we find ourselves wavering. The light feels like it is getting farther and farther away. The anger and tears seem to be coming faster and flowing when we aren't even aware. I see you. I am you.
Please reach out. Connection is everything right now. A friend, a neighbour, your family, the community supports I've listed below. We are human. We are not supposed to be managing in isolation. There is someone within reach who cares and wants to see and support you.
