Whether you've whispered "what is wrong with me" after snapping over a spilled sippy cup, or you've been told it's "just hormones" one too many times, this episode is going to make you feel SO seen.

Stacia Scott, nurse practitioner and founder of Postpartum Care USA, is back for round two, and she's bringing data from more postpartum moms than any clinic in the world: 88.2% of them experience mom rage. The best part? Rage is a signal from a depleted body, and once you know what it's signaling, you can actually fix it.

In this episode, we cover:

• What mom rage actually is (and how it's different from a bad day or PMS)
• The shocking percentage of moms who experience it
• What's happening biologically in the moment you snap
• Why you're blaming the wrong hormones
• Cortisol explained: how it hijacks your calm
• What your thyroid actually controls (hint: basically everything)
• Why "normal" blood work doesn't mean you're okay, normal vs. optimal labs
• Why intermittent fasting backfires postpartum
• The daily protocol: protein, sleep, morning sunlight, 5-5-5 breathing, and smart movement
• How to get your husband to step up (and why he genuinely can't see what you see)
• The four root causes behind almost every postpartum symptom
• Why "postpartum" doesn't end at six weeks... or even two years

What happens when your toddler climbs out of the crib or when you're ready to move them into a "big kid bed"?

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Burke, founder of Awesome Little Sleepers and creator of the REST Method, to talk about the transition no one prepares you for: moving your child from the crib to a big kid bed.

If you've got a toddler who's started leaving their room, calling for "one more hug," asking for water like a tiny dehydrated philosopher, or who suddenly stopped sleeping after months of doing great.... this conversation is for you!!

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the crib to bed transition is such a stressful, chaotic season (and the developmental reason behind it)
• The signs parents think mean it's time to transition
• The ideal age to move your child out of the crib, and why "sleeping well in the crib" matters more than age
• How to keep a climbing toddler safely in the crib longer (including the sleep sack and crib-turning tricks)
• What to do if you want or need to transition early
• The #1 mistake parents make right after the switch
• The pool noodle trick, bed rails, and how to make a big bed feel as cozy as a crib
• Whether you can move your child back to the crib if it's not going well
• How to handle "curtain calls," middle-of-the-night visits, and bedtime stalling
• Why building stalling tactics into the bedtime routine actually works
• The real reason your great sleeper suddenly started waking up at 2am
• Why independent sleep is the key to protecting your toddler's sleep all night long

Whether you're a first time mom feeling overwhelmed or a seasoned mom gearing up for another round, this episode is a peek into exactly how I'm preparing for my second natural birth with baby #3.

From physical to mental, spiritual to postpartum prep, I'm walking you through everything I'm doing this time around!!

A heads up before you press play: this is not a checklist. You don't have to do every single thing I'm doing. But if even one piece of this episode lights a fire under you to actually prepare, you're going to have a so much better experience than going in blind.

In this episode I cover:

• What's the same and what's different about this birth
• How I'm physically preparing
• The blood sugar deep dive
• My supplement and probiotic of choice
• How I'm mentally preparing for another natural birth
• My exact labor practice routine
• How I'm preparing for postpartum
• How I'm spiritually preparing
