Sleep deprivation is real, and when your child won’t sleep without you, it can feel overwhelming. If you're exhausted from middle-of-the-night wake-ups, desperate for just a few hours of uninterrupted rest, and wondering if you’ll ever get your evenings back, today’s episode is for you.

In this heartfelt coaching session, I talk with Polina, a loving mother navigating the difficult challenge of nighttime separation. We explore why young children struggle with independent sleep, how connection impacts bedtime battles, and why setting limits with empathy is the key to long-term success.

If you’ve ever taken your child’s sleep struggles personally or wondered if you’re "doing it wrong," I promise you’re not alone. Together, we discuss a practical plan to help Polina’s daughter feel safe and secure at night while also giving Polina the rest she desperately needs.

You don’t have to choose between connection and sleep. Listen in to discover how to meet your child’s emotional needs while also honoring your own.
