In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe welcomes back perinatal therapist Ashley Mariani for a conversation that isn't happening nearly enough: the relationship between sexuality, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. So often, our culture either completely ignores sexuality in motherhood or hypersexualizes birth in ways that don't actually serve women. HeHe and Ashley explore what it looks like to honor your sexuality as a natural, embodied part of pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond, and why that relationship with yourself doesn't simply disappear once your baby arrives. Together, they dive into the realities of rebuilding intimacy after birth, navigating breastfeeding, co-sleeping, body changes, exhaustion, and the identity shifts that come with becoming parents. They also unpack how these experiences impact relationships, why desire often changes postpartum, and how couples can reconnect without shame, pressure, or unrealistic expectations. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into parenthood, this conversation offers a compassionate, honest look at one of the most overlooked parts of the motherhood journey and reminds you that your identity, your relationship, and your sexuality all deserve care, too. 00:54 Content Warning and Space 03:08 Guest and Episode Focus 06:42 Sex Taboo and Real Support 09:21 Sex and Birth Connection 12:23 Purity Culture Origins 14:44 Porn Culture and Pregnancy 21:37 Postpartum Porn and Healing 34:37 Sex Positive Parenting 35:51 Co Sleeping and Desire 39:52 Spontaneous Intimacy Ideas 41:57 Free Birth Advocacy Class 43:41 Postpartum Desire Differences 46:32 Playful Safe Flirting 49:29 Two Year Desire Timeline 52:21 When Therapy Is Refused 56:29 Family Origins And Shame 01:00:46 Misogyny Porn And Incel Culture 01:05:16 Relearning Embodiment Postpartum 01:10:50 Breaking Cycles With Communication 01:12:32 Vaginal Mapping And Tiny Bites 01:17:28 Wrap Up Resources And Farewell   Guest Bio: Ashley Mariani, a Registered Social Worker, mom, wife, and the owner of Mind Online Therapy.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Friday!!! Rocky is officially out of the 4th trimester

The early years of parenthood are spent almost entirely in bed — and almost never asleep. In this episode, Jeff revisits the co-sleeping years: a toddler who slept sideways, turning three bodies into a capital "H" and pushing both parents to the far edges of a California King; the strange comfort of dangling half off the mattress; and the parade of baubles that promise to ease new parenthood — chief among them the peerless My Brest Friend nursing pillow. Schuyler joins to walk through the Bugaboo prams, the Dutailier glider, the bedtime ritual of "steam roller," and the 3 a.m. bargain of whispering "give it to me" to a feverish kid. This is part of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

What nobody tells you about baby sleep, mom guilt, or your postpartum body || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R1q3RqAa5g You've been asking for an update on Monica's life as a new mum, so here it is, unfiltered! In this episode, she shares exactly how she approached transitioning her 11-month-old son away from co-sleeping, how sleep deprivation forced a major shift in how she runs her business, and what she's been doing postpartum to feel hot in a bikini again. What's inside: 

This week on the Vada Poche Tamil Podcast, we continue where we left off from part 1 with the three fathers for an honest, no-filter discussion about fatherhood. Hosted by Bharath, they dive into the highs, the highers, and the lows of parenting, from sleepless nights to cultural clashes in discipline.If you've ever questioned your parenting choices or wondered how other dads handle the same struggles, this one's for you.

What if the exhaustion so many mothers experience isn't because they're doing motherhood wrong, but because they've been disconnected from what is biologically normal? In this episode, Cait sits down with Brittany Chambers, founder of Goodnight Moon Child and creator of the Integrative Infant Sleep Framework, to explore the intersection of infant sleep, attachment science, neuroscience, maternal intuition, and the cultural narratives shaping modern motherhood. Together, they unpack the messages many mothers receive about independence, sleep training, and what it means to be a "good mother," while examining what both science and ancestral wisdom reveal about the mother-baby relationship. This conversation challenges conventional beliefs, invites curiosity over judgment, and offers a powerful reminder that mothers may be far more equipped than they've been led to believe. Tune in to hear: Why Brittany believes modern motherhood has become disconnected from ancestral wisdom The neuroscience behind attachment, co-regulation, and infant sleep How Cait's experience with her three children completely changed her perspective on sleep and connection What research says about bed sharing, biological infant sleep, and maternal rest The surprising link between infant sleep expectations and postpartum mental health Why many mothers feel torn between cultural advice and their own instincts How maternal intuition gets buried beneath perfectionism and societal expectations The role of nervous system safety in child development Why Brittany believes informed consent is missing from many parenting conversations How the mother-baby relationship impacts families, communities, and future generations The connection between responsive parenting, authenticity, and personal power Why breaking generational patterns often begins with trusting yourself Connect with Brittany Chambers Instagram: @goodnightmoonchild Website: goodnightmoonchild.com Substack: Goodnight Moon Child

In this episode of The Night Feed, I explore how baby sleep differs around the world and why there's no single “right” way to do it. From sleep training in the US to co-sleeping and slower-paced parenting in places like Sweden and Spain, this conversation is a reminder that cultural norms shape how we parent more than we realise.I also talk about the pressure millennial parents are under; raising children in a more isolated, expensive, and information-heavy world, while still trying to be deeply present and connected.Plus, I answer two listener questions:• The anxiety spiral of Googling baby milestones• Fear of choking during weaning and how to navigate it safelyIf you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you're doing it wrong this podcast is here to reassure you that you're not.Support the showTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenightfeed

This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I sat down with one of my closest friends, Richard Gordon, for a conversation I've been wanting to have for a long time. Richard is on our executive team at Bethel Church, and over the years I've had the privilege of watching him grow from a son in our house into one of the strongest fathers I know. We dug into the journey of moving from "what can I get?" to "what can I give?" — that quiet, often invisible shift that turns boys into men and sons into fathers.We got real about marriage, parenting, and the things nobody warns you about — bedtime battles, sensory struggles with our kids, co-sleeping, and the seasons where you feel like you're failing even when you're showing up. I shared what it was like walking my daughter Edy through years of dysregulation after my mother-in-law passed, and Richard opened up about how God keeps inviting him deeper into leadership through his family first. We also talked about what I call "the noble drug" — the way work and ministry can quietly become an escape, even when it looks valiant from the outside.If you're a husband, a dad, or a leader feeling pulled in a thousand directions, this conversation is for you. My prayer is that it gives you permission to make your family your number one team, to be led by vision instead of need, and to remember that the seasons that feel the hardest are often the ones you'll look back on as the most sacred.

Today, we talk with Tiffany Belanger of @cosleepy about some of the challenges that may arise for co-sleeping families, whether you're trying to reduce night feeds, prepare for another baby, or simply want your bed back. We discuss how these transitions often unfold, including moving a child into a crib or floor bed, and why the experience can look completely different from one family to the next, depending on lifestyle, a child's temperament, and the parents' mental and emotional states, like guilt, anxiety, exhaustion or embarrassment.This is a free-flowing, honest conversation, not a set of rules to apply. The goal of this episode is to prepare you for these transitions, normalize some of the challenges parents face, and offer a range of ways to move from one stage to the next that most resonate with you and your family.Tiffany on Instagram @cosleepy**********Send us Fan Mail Needed

Infant sleep has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern parenting. In this thoughtful and nuanced conversation, I sit down with sleep consultant and family therapist Chrissy Lawler to unpack co-sleeping, sleep training, safety data, and the emotional charge surrounding these decisions. As a pediatrician, I was trained to follow AAP safe sleep guidelines, but real-world parenting, cultural practices, and honest conversations with families have pushed me to approach this topic with more openness and clarity. We discuss what the data actually shows, where the gaps exist, and why shame and fear-based messaging don't help families make safer decisions. Whether you co-sleep, sleep train, or are still figuring it out, this episode focuses on evidence, harm reduction, attachment, parental well-being, and finding what works for your unique family system. In this episode, we discuss: Why co-sleeping is so controversial, especially coming from a pediatrician AAP guidelines vs cultural sleep practices around the world The dangers of polarized, shame-based sleep messaging Harm reduction principles for families who choose to co-sleep Risk factors that increase sleep-related infant deaths What the data does and does not tell us about co-sleeping safety The “Safe Sleep Seven” and its limitations Sleep training myths, cortisol concerns, and attachment Why parental sleep and mental health matter just as much as baby sleep The impact of sleep deprivation on relationships and long-term family dynamics How to filter social media noise and make evidence-based decisions Foundational newborn sleep strategies to reduce desperation and unsafe practices The role of resilience, stress tolerance, and “good enough” parenting To connect with Chrissy Lawler follow her on Instagram @the.peaceful.sleeper, check out all her resources at https://www.thepeacefulsleeper.com/ and buy her book “The Peaceful Sleeper: An Intuitive Approach to Baby Sleep”: https://www.thepeacefulsleeper.com/book  00:00 – Intro 01:15 – A Pediatrician's Experience With Unsafe Sleep 02:07 – Why Parents Secretly Bedshare 02:54 – Introducing Chrissy Lawler and Her Work 05:04 – Why Safe Sleep Messaging Often Misses Real Life 07:03 – The Cultural Differences Around Infant Sleep 11:03 – Why Parents Feel Pressure Around Sleep Training 16:04 – What Actually Makes Co-Sleeping Dangerous 20:01 – Harm Reduction: If Families Choose to Bedshare 28:00 – Sleep Training Myths and Misunderstandings 38:00 – The Emotional Side of Infant Sleep Decisions 39:01 – How Shame Impacts Honest Conversations With Pediatricians 45:01 – Practical Ways to Make Infant Sleep Safer 48:02 – The Bigger Takeaway: Safety, Support, and Informed Choices Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Send us Fan MailBringing a new baby into your family is often described as a joyful and exciting time — but the reality is far more complex.In this episode, I share an honest, real-world look at what it's like to welcome a newborn into your home and your family, whether this is your first baby or you already have children.We explore the emotional, physical, and practical realities of the early weeks — from sleep deprivation and feeding challenges to the intense sense of responsibility and constant worry that many parents experience.I also share the importance of managing expectations — including why I often say that babies are boring — and how understanding the reality of newborn life can make the transition feel more manageable.For those with older children, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help them feel secure, included, and valued, rather than pushed aside during this big change.We also look at how to involve family members and visitors in a way that supports your older child, protects your space, and creates a calmer environment in those early weeks.This episode is full of practical tips, real-world examples, and simple strategies you can implement immediately to make the arrival of a new baby a positive experience for everyone.If you love the podcast and would like to support it, then please use the link to 'buy me a coffee' - https://bmc.link/sallyannberesfordIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner  - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann  -  https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresfordPlease remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.  Any recommendations made may not be suitable fo...

You asked, I'm answering. This is the first episode of a brand new AMA series where I'm diving into all the questions you sent me that I couldn't answer on Instagram Stories. And because I know you love a good system, I've categorised them… so today we're talking all things parenting, routines, child care and why we're maybe not doing traditional school. If you're a parent (or thinking about becoming one), this episode is going to give you a raw, honest look into how we do things in our household. I'm not a parenting expert, and I'm definitely not perfect, but I am intentional. And I've learned so much from some incredible voices in the parenting space that have completely shifted how I show up for Rui. From staying calm when your toddler isn't listening, to our sleep routine, co-sleeping, and why I haven't enrolled Rui in school yet… this episode covers it all.

Beauty-Queen, DJ, ehemalige MTV-Moderatorin, Botschafterin, Verlags-Co-Gründerin, Podcast Host – und vor allem: eine Frau mit Haltung. In dieser Folge sprechen Nora und Wana Limar über Spiritualität im Faktenzeitalter, über Wissenschaft und Sinnsuche, über Wut und darüber, warum sie manchmal ein Motor für Veränderung ist. Wir fragen uns: Warum fühlen wir uns im Westen so getrennt – voneinander, von der Natur, von etwas Größerem? Und was hat das mit Kolonialgeschichte, Kapitalismus und unserem heutigen Familienleben zu tun? Es geht um Tribe statt Timetable, um Co-Sleeping ohne Scham, um Kinder, Chips und Kontrolle – und um die Sehnsucht nach echter Verbindung. Eine ehrliche, kluge und überraschend persönliche Unterhaltung über Identität, Gemeinschaft und das, was wir vielleicht verlernt haben: Urvertrauen.

200 Folgen „Alle meine Eltern“ – und Evelyn hat sich zum Jubiläum natürlich wieder einmal ihren Lieblingsgast geschnappt: Ehemann Alex. Die beiden starten ihren Talk direkt intim, denn es geht um Schnippischnippi alias „Ball Wars“. Alex erzählt von seiner Vasektomie – keine Schnitte, kaum Schmerzen, alles wie vorher. Vorerst also Schluss mit Kinderplanung. Und ganz nebenbei ein klares Statement: Verhütung ist nicht allein Frauensache. Außerdem wird übers Rülpsen gesprochen (für Evelyn Freiheit, eklig für Alex, extrem lustig für ihre Kinder) sowie über fehlende Paarzeit, Sleep Divorce und Co-Sleeping – und darüber, dass Streit selten wirklich an Socken oder Schuhen liegt, sondern meistens an schlichter Überforderung. Eifersucht? Fehlanzeige. Trotz Künstlerleben gibt es viel Vertrauen und wenig Drama. Dazu: Namen für Jungs, Angst vor Hamstern und die eigene Tinder-Lovestory – Evelyn und Alex, gewohnt offenherzig und herrlich amüsant. Viel Spaß mit der Jubiläumsfolge!

This week, Hannah and Barbi ease into the new year with a thoughtful and easygoing conversation. They unpack the meaning behind different New Year traditions - from collard greens to grapes - and why those customs have stuck around for generations. Barbi shares stories from the cruise she just returned from, which naturally leads to conversations about travel, past trips, and the different ways they've both experienced life on the road.They wrap things up with an honest discussion about the pros and cons of co-sleeping, sharing personal perspectives and real-life considerations for parents navigating those choices. It's a well-rounded, relatable episode filled with reflection, storytelling, and the kind of conversations that feel just right for the start of a new year.

Cosleeping is one of the most controversial parenting choices-today's guest thinks it's only controversial because parents are uninformed of the benefits and how to safely do it. Tiffany Belanger, founder of Cosleepy, is one of the most outspoken voices challenging mainstream infant sleep culture. We talk about why babies are wired for closeness, the biological benefits of cosleeping, and exactly how to safely do it.Thank you to our sponsors!GEVITI: Use code "ALEX" to get 20% off your first purchaseMASA CHIPS: Use code "REALALEXCLARK" for 25% off your first orderUTZY: Use code “ALEX” to saveZEBRA: Use code "ALEX" for 10% off any orderCOWBOY COLOSTRUM: Use code “ALEX” for 25% OFFBLDG ACTIVE SKIN REPAIR: Use code “ALEX” for 20% off your orderOur Guest:Tiffany Belanger, @cosleepyTiffany's Links:WebsiteBlogInstagramFacebook

Today I interview Jo, a mother of two and GP who brings so much knowledge and advice to her story. She says that being a mother has definitely made her a better GP although she admits that so many of her expectations of parenthood were thrown out the window when she became a mum. She feels strongly about safe co-sleeping (she shares a lot of evidence around this) as well as extended breastfeeding and the societal pressures that often prompt early weaning. Lighthearted and joyful, Jo shares all the details of her two physiological births and the skills she embraced from to actively relax while her body actively birthed.You can learn more about The Birth Class here.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Rachael Shepard-Ohta, a pediatric sleep expert and founder of Hey, Sleepy Baby — to talk about what evidenced-based sleep methods that ACTUALLY work and how to get better sleep without “training” your baby. We get into it all: what to do in those first sleepless newborn weeks, when (if ever) to expect a routine, and why traditional sleep training isn't the only way. Rachael explains why baby sleep isn't linear, how to handle night wakings, and what safe co-sleeping can look like for families who choose it. We also cover the modern sleep training industry, what other countries are doing better around infant sleep, and the biggest mistakes parents make in the first year (spoiler: it's not what you think).  Whether you're team crib, team co-sleep, or somewhere in between, Rachael will leave you feeling empowered to find what actually works for YOUR family :) Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:05:20 Introduction to Rachael Shepard-Ohta (Pediatric Sleep Expert) 00:06:00 What's the game plan parents should follow for newborn sleep when bringing baby home from the hospital? 00:10:30 When can parents realistically expect their baby to get into a routine? 00:12:30 Why Rachael doesn't recommend traditional sleep training 00:15:30 The real pros and cons of sleep training 00:18:10 Rachael's personal experience with sleep training and how it shaped her approach 00:23:44 Why baby sleep is not linear — and what that means for parents 00:27:30 When should parents actually expect their baby to sleep through the night? 00:28:25 When do frequent wake-ups become concerning? 00:31:10 The pros and cons of co-sleeping — plus how to do it safely 00:35:21 Alex & Harrison share their own experience with sleep training 00:39:45 Evidence-based alternatives to sleep training and co-sleeping 00:47:10 Dealing with nap refusal and short naps 00:52:28 Trial-and-erroring new sleep methods and learning your baby's cues 00:54:50 What other countries are doing around infant sleep that the U.S. could learn from 00:55:37 Rachael's thoughts on the modern “sleep training industry” 01:02:00 The biggest mistakes parents make around sleep in the first year 01:06:00 Thank you for listening! #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Fast Growing Trees: This Fall, Fast Growing Trees has the best deals for your yard, up to half off on select plants and other deals.  Listeners of our show get 15% OFF at https://www.FastGrowingTrees.com/TWOPARENTS when using the code TWOPARENTS at checkout. *Neuro: For a limited time, you can get 20% off your first order at https://www.Neurogum.com by using code TWOPARENTS.

In the biggest shake-up to reproductive rights in almost 60 years, MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales. This would mean a woman could not be prosecuted for ending her pregnancy after the 24 week limit, but medical professionals and others could still be held criminally liable if they assist. Nuala McGovern speaks to the BBC's political correspondent Alex Forsyth and Conservative MP Dr. Caroline Johnson, shadow minister for health and social care, who had put forward another amendment which would have required a pregnant woman to have an in person consultation with a doctor or appropriate medical professional before being prescribed medication to terminate her pregnancy, aimed at stopping so-called 'pills-by-post' abortions.Crime writer Karin Slaughter has sold over 40 million copies and been called the ‘Queen of Crime.' She's been writing for 25 years and has just published her 25th novel. Called We Are All Guilty Here, it's the story of two teenage girls who go missing and the start of a brand new series featuring police officer Emmy Clifton. Karin tells Nuala why she wanted create a new series and how she manages a book a year on top of all the TV adaptations on her work. Do you co-sleep or bedshare with your school-aged children? A few years ago the Clueless actor Alicia Silverstone was criticised for saying she sleeps in the same bed with her 11-year-old and that she was 'just following nature.' It's a divisive topic that provokes strong opinions and disagreement. So how common is it and what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so? Nuala is joined by Genevieve Roberts, parenting columnist with the I newspaper, who regularly sleeps in the same bed with her children, and Sarah Blunden, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Head of Paediatric Sleep Research at Central Queensland University. One of the young women making waves in the male dominated sport of motor racing is 22-year-old Abbi Pulling. She's considered as one of the most promising young drivers in world motorsport - she won the 2024 'F1 Academy' season, which has been set up to develop women and girls in the sport. She's the first female driver to take a race victory in British F4 and is now racing in the GB3 category. Abbi told Nuala about the difficulties around funding for getting into racing and if women could make it into the top tier of Formula 1. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

With just three weeks until our baby girl arrives, this episode captures a tender season of transition. I reflect on the sacred time spent during our baby moon, the waves of Braxton Hicks contractions, our intentions of co-sleeping and the emotional conversations that are shaping us as parents. It's a vulnerable look into the beauty, fear, and hope that come with standing at the edge of a brand new beginning.References: Sarah Buckley

Send us a textWhat if sleeping beside your baby isn't dangerous—but actually protective? In this episode, we talk about one of the most instinctive things mothers do—and one of the most feared and judged: co-sleeping. Today's guest is Isadora Ambrose, founder of Happy Co-Sleeper and a certified holistic infant sleep specialist.Why are parents told to never sleep with their babies when every cell in their body wants to keep them close at night?  Isadora breaks down what makes co-sleeping safe (and what makes it unsafe), how studies are often misinterpreted, and why so many parents end up co-sleeping anyway—without the right support or setup. We discuss breastfeeding, chest-sleeping, the role of the mother's body in keeping babies safe, and how co-sleeping protects against sleep deprivation and unsafe sleep situations. (You'll also hear Isadora's opinion on the SNOO!)We also explain how co-sleeping changes as your child grows—what to do as your baby becomes a toddler, how to bring a new sibling into the mix, and how to keep your relationship intact while sharing sleep with your child.This is an honest, reassuring conversation for anyone who's ever felt torn between what feels natural and what they've been told is “safe.” Happy Co-SleeperIsadora on InstagramRemember to watch our full episodes on YouTube!**********Our sponsors:Silverette Nursing Cups -- Soothe and heal sore nipples with 925 silver nursing cups.Postpartum Soothe -- Herbs and padsicles to heal and comfort.Needed -- Our favorite nutritional products for before, during, and after pregnancy.

Public health officials should tell the truth, even when it's complicated. Even when some people might misunderstand. Otherwise, says economist Emily Oster of Brown University, the public will come to distrust the people we need to trust if we are to make good decisions both personally and publicly. Listen as Oster talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about vaccines, fluoride, raw milk, and the lessons learned and yet-to-be learned from the Covid pandemic.

As a board-certified pediatrician in the U.S., the recommendations are usually independent sleep for a baby. But I know firsthand that many families do co-sleep and, at some point, want to transition their baby out of co-sleeping. I welcome Ashley Olson, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and founder of @heavensentsleep. We discuss:  The biggest mistake parents make when going from co-sleeping to independent sleep  What “habit-stacking” is and how to implement  What parents may struggle with when transitioning to an independent sleep space and how to approach Connect with Ashley on Instagram @heavensentsleep, and check out her website for more resources.
