In this episode of The Nurture Network, Jess talks with pediatric sleep coach Ella Hanover about why sleep is one of the first—and hardest—boundaries parents set. Together, they explore how sleep challenges go deeper than bedtime routines, often triggering guilt, self-doubt, and identity shifts in early motherhood.
Ella shares her expert insights on how sleep is a turning point in the parent-child relationship, how to confidently lead with love and boundaries, and why prioritizing your own rest is essential—not selfish. Whether you’re navigating newborn sleep or toddler transitions, this conversation offers both emotional validation and practical tools.
