Bedtime Battle You Can Win with Jessica Berk Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

Bedtime stealing your evenings? In this candid convo, I sit down with toddler-sleep pro Jessica Burke (Awesome Little Sleepers) to unpack what really derails sleep once kids get out of the crib, and how to get your kid falling and staying asleep independently!

We talk timing, consistency, cozy routines that still have boundaries, and the surprising “window” most parents miss. If you’ve got a little one who constantly gets out of bed, stalls for “one more xyz,” or ends up sleeping next to you by 2 a.m., this one’s for you.
