Author: Erin Junker - The Happy Sleep Company Language: English Episodes: 100
Ever feel like parenting advice comes at you from a million directions, leaving you more overwhelmed than when you started? Sleep Cues: The Everything Parenting Podcast cuts through the noise with a refreshingly practical focus, starting with the foundation of a well-rested household. Your host, Erin Junker, isn't just a passionate advocate for children's sleep; she's a certified pediatric sleep consultant and the owner of The Happy Sleep Company, bringing a Masters in Health Communications and direct experience from guiding over a thousand families toward better rest. She's also right there in the trenches, drawing on eight years of raising her own child. This podcast operates on a simple, powerful belief: a family that sleeps well is a happier, healthier family. Conversations here go beyond basic sleep training tips, exploring how quality rest for your kids directly influences every other aspect of parenting-from mealtime moods and daycare transitions to managing your own patience and finding moments of calm in the chaos. Erin’s approach is compassionate and evidence-based, offering realistic strategies rather than rigid rules. You’ll hear honest discussions about common hurdles, nuanced questions answered with clarity, and the reassuring sense that you’re not figuring it out alone. Tune in for a supportive resource that helps you build a more peaceful home, one good night at a time.
