Mama Matters Too- Sleep Training Solutions for Overwhelmed Moms Who Need a Little Faith

Are you sick of feeling like you can’t show up for yourself or your kids as the mom you want to be, due to exhaustion? Do you crave time alone to fill your own cup, but can’t get it due to your children not sleeping? Are you tired of feeling dysregulated, exhausted, and overstimulated? Are you ready to be a more present and patient mother? I am so thankful you’re here, mama. This podcast will help you find more rest, joy, and peace in motherhood, by getting your baby or young kiddo to start sleeping through the night! Hey, I’m Alexa. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover who spent the first 6 months of my newborns life feeling beyond exhausted, anxious, and like a zombie just going through the motions. I wasn’t able to be a fully present mom or enjoy motherhood. Being riddled with anxiety and sleeping 3-5 hours a night just wasn’t working anymore…for me, my marriage, or my son!I was afraid to start sleep training, thinking maybe it wouldn’t work, or it would negatively affect my son’s development, or hurt our attachment. However…it did just the opposite. Sleep training changed our lives; my son was happier and well rested, my mental health slowly got better, I was able to BOND and be present with my son, and my home finally had some peace and predictability.However, I felt like my sleep training experience was missing something. It wasn’t customized specifically for my family, I had a lot of questions that didn’t get answered, and I could have used some non-judgmental support and encouragement while walking through the process! So, I created it for you. I went to work and got certified as a Sleep Training Consultant and a Postpartum Doula, so that I could create a space for moms to get complete support as they walk through sleep training their babies in a way that feels good for them. Inside this podcast, you will find sleep training solutions and tips for children aged newborn-6 years old, encouragement and community (you are not alone!!), tips on how to bring routines and predictability to your home, and how to feel a sense of joy and peace in motherhood again. So go reheat your coffee- I’m sure for the 10th time today ;) - and listen up, mama! Because you matter, too!Learn: mamamatterstoo.comContact: alexa@mamamatterstoo.comConnect: instagram.com/mama.matters.tooFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mamamatterstoo/

    This podcast is such a breath of fresh air! Alexa is a wealth of information and presents it in such a practical and encouraging way. After listening to the episode you will feel supported, prepared and armed with tools to tackle whatever your little one is facing. Being a momma can feel overwhelming and isolating at times.

    Amazing
    Alexa is a very knowledgeable mother who has done lots of research. I feel that some people just share things just for the heck of sharing them… but Alexa, she really knows what she is sharing and has so much wisdom when it comes to the knowledge she has and how she shares it! I can’t wait to be able to apply all that she has shared and hopefully pass along this knowledge and her talks with moms who have a lot going on in their lives with little ones.
  • Shaelynmarie
    Relatable
    As a FTM of a 4 month old boy, I really needed this! Feeling heard and understood! Relatable and gives helpful tips. Long enough to get the point she’s trying to make or advice across without dragging out the episodes. Looking forward to the cute of the podcast.

    Coffee reheated, and feel like I’m chatting with a friend!
    Thank you, Alexa, for your podcast! This tired Mama is ready for a friend who can relate and who I can learn from! I absolutely love the name of this Podcast because of course the baby matters, but us Mamas can so often feel unseen, and like we are supposed to naturally know how to handle the hardness that is thrown at us when we become a Mom! Can’t wait to dive in deeper with you, Alexa! Your calm and steady encouragement is just what I need!
  • amandalw8

I caught myself nodding along as if she was sitting across from me 🤣 Thank you Alexa for sharing without scolding! Us moms could all use a little grace! ❤️ Can’t wait to hear what’s next!

    Like talking to a friend, but who has really good advice
    I love how this podcast has actual steps to follow to make mom life more managable but also shares her real experiences to keep it authentic and engaging! She is so relatable, and the advice feels like things I could actually do in the sleep-deprived trenches of the early months! So glad I found this right before I have baby #2! I love the focus on self-care and taking care of mama in those early days, too!
