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.

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.
