In this episode, Gina and sleep expert Alanna McGinn get real about why managing stress is non-negotiable if you want to improve your sleep. They start by calling out the myth that a perfect bedtime routine is all you need—because if you're running on high stress, your body won't let you rest, no matter how peaceful your bedroom is. Alanna explains how hidden stressors can show up as poor sleep, low motivation, or feeling “off” even when things seem fine. From daily noise and social media overload to intense workouts and strained relationships, she paints a clear picture of how stress adds up. Alanna also shares her “stress bucket” analogy, highlights her top three stress-busting tools, and walks through a practical bedtime routine that actually helps. The message? You don't have to overhaul your life—just start with one thing. If sleep's been a struggle, this episode is your wake-up call.Alanna McGinn is the founder of Sleep Expert and founder of Good Night Sleep Site. Along with her team, Alanna has successfully helped thousands of families overcome their sleep challenges and establish healthy nighttime habits so they can get the sleep they need.IG: @alanna.mcginnwww.alannamcginn.comwww.thebedtimeedit.comHow to Rid Those 3am Wakings - https://goodnightsleepsite.thrivecart.com/stop-3am-wakings-course/Free Menopause Vision Statement - https://goodnightsleepsite.thrivecart.com/menopausevisionstatement/You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodspring2025To learn more about The Livy Method, visit livymethod.com.

The two to one nap transition. For some it means being able to be more active with baby and suddenly you have a whole morning to book more playdates and activities.

You may even be feeling a mixture of the two. Sleep Expert, Alanna McGinn explains how the two to one nap transition can be a big transition for you and your baby and it’s important to go in to this nap drop with a plan and a whole lot of consistency in place.

Wondering if it’s time to hire a sleep consultant?

What could be better when you are sleep deprived and confused than to have your own personal sleep educator walk you through the entire process? Sleep Expert, Alanna McGinn is joined by fellow Good Night Sleep Site team member Laura Armstrong and they dive into the conversation about sleep consultants, why you would want to hire one, and when is the right time to do so.

This episode tackles something many of us would like to have in more abundance: sleep. Most of us know we're likely not getting enough, and we may feel guilty when our kids' sleep falls short of the recommended amount, too. But it can be challenging to squeeze all of life into more reasonable hours, especially when we're juggling commutes home from work, pick-ups, extra-curriculars and homework. My guest, Alanna McGinn, is a respected sleep consultant and founder of Good Night Sleep Site. She and her team have helped countless parents overcome the sleep challenges they're having with their kids. Alanna has also recently launched a great new podcast called This Girl Loves Sleep, where she's dropping all kinds of sleep-related truth bombs to help kids of all ages and their parents to get better sleep. We talk about the factors in modern family life that encroach on our sleep and how to take concrete steps to bring back bedtime. Notes Love our work? Please check out our Patreon Campaign!

This conversation landed close to my heart...  While my kids are now sleeping in their OWN beds, in their OWN rooms, ALL NIGHT LONG, that was not always the case. And while my nighttime parenting choices weren't always the same as everyone else, they didn't follow the mainstream advice,  I did the best I could for my babies...  The thing I really love about Alanna and her approach to supporting parents with sleep, is her willingness to meet parents where they're at.  She really believes in the idea that there is a right approach for each family, and that it is going to be related to what works in each family... As any parent knows, there is no one size fits all here...  AND it is possible to help your child, and yourself, get better sleep.
