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.
