Brooke Weinstein OTD, OTR/L keeps it real about Mamahood, tips, and tricks to childhood development, and how to live in your mama truth. Brooke is a Doctor of occupational therapy. With over a decade of experience, Brooke built a thriving business in New Orleans called Therapeutic Learning Center which focused on treating the child and educating the entire family on coping skills and strategies on how to manage societal challenges children face. With life experience, having two preemies, running a business (and household), Brooke began to feel the struggles of motherhood, being stretched too thin. This ultimately led to Brooke selling her business, stepping away to readjust her priorities, and focus more on her own family at home. During this pause, Brooke went on an exploration of self, and dove into the “why” of her career burnout. The ah-ha moment came when she recognized the missing link between treating children, and parent education. “We as mothers need support and guidance to get through this life. It's simply too much to do on our own. Having support as a mother is what our children need most in this world to thrive.” Brooke's expertise in child development, sensory regulation, and parental connection, led Brooke to begin coaching Mama's and families through this difficult phase of life. Brooke helps Mama's tap into their individual strength, teach them how to trust their gut, and support growth in building emotional connections with their children and family they've always longed for. “It's ok to be vulnerable. Most importantly, it's ok to allow yourself this support, because the family unit begins and ends with the mother.” “If you are struggling, I urge you to reach out. Let's explore your individual Mama life together. I'm here to listen without judgment, support you, guide you to a path of living a life you love waking up to each morning.” Please go follow Dr. Brooke at Brookeweinst on Instagram or check out her website www.brookeweinstein.net --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Kelli would cry every night, wondering why her sweet child wouldn't sleep! She was always wondering WHY did he only sleep for 30-60 minutes at a time before she had to help him back to sleep? WHY did he fall asleep so quickly in her arms, only to wake up screaming when she put him down in the crib? WHY was the only method the pediatrician was recommending was to leave her baby in his room to cry it out until morning? When her son was 2.5 years old, She discovered a sleep consultant and hired her immediately. The consultant had him sleeping through the night in just 4 days! It was LIFE CHANGING. So much so that she became a consultant just a few months later. Kelli knew she had to share this knowledge with as many families as possible. So what does she do?
