Struggling with sleepless nights and a spirited little one? This episode offers game-changing sleep strategies for 'livewire' kids!In today's episode, I am joined by two wonderful women, Kim West and Macall Gordon who are both Authors and Sleep Coaching Experts. They discuss their new book, Why Won't You Sleep?!, which explores a gentle, alternative approach to sleep training for children, especially those with "livewire" temperaments who are highly alert and emotionally intense. Kim and Macall emphasize the importance of recognizing a child's temperament in sleep training and advocating for a method that rejects the traditional "cry it out" approach, instead supporting parental involvement to help children learn self-soothing skills over time.Throughout this episode, Kim West, known as "The Sleep Lady," shares her journey into sleep coaching, driven by her desire to help parents navigate sleep challenges with a gentler approach. Kim explains her "Sleep Lady Shuffle," a coaching method focused on staying with children as they learn to self-soothe, which avoids leaving them alone to cry. She highlights her passion for creating a tailored, gentle approach that is supportive of both parents and children, aiming to help parents feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.Plus, Macall Gordon brings her expertise as a researcher and parent to the conversation, highlighting how temperament research can change the way parents understand their children's sleep issues. She discusses her struggle with her own child's sleep and the lack of options that didn't involve crying it out, which led her to co-develop the gentle approach with Kim. Her focus on research helps parents see that they're not to blame for their child's sleep difficulties, offering them the reassurance and alternatives they need to handle sleepless nights effectively.Tune in and discover gentle, effective strategies to support your child's sleep, helping you and your family find the rest you deserve.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Kim and Macall's personal journeys into sleep coaching (1:22)Challenges with traditional sleep training methods (8:07)Understanding temperament and its impact on sleep (14:12)Practical gentle sleep coaching techniques (17:58)The Role of consistency and parental support (20:29)Resources for parents and closing thoughts (37:07)Connect with Kim West:WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInGet Kim's books!Connect with Macall Gordon:WebsiteYouTubeInstagramLinkedInGet the Why Won't You Sleep?! book!

This was an amazing chat with Master Pilates Trainer Kim West. We talk about how moving your body in a way that feels good can be such a potent form of healing. This is SO worth a listen!!

When my child was little, one of the most common sleep training methods was the "cry it out" approach. We tried it briefly, and it felt absolutely terrible for all of us. I know many parents can relate to the feelings of desperation and overwhelm that come when a child just isn't sleeping. I wish I'd known back then about sleep coaches Macall Gordon and Kim West, also known as The Sleep Lady, who have developed a gentler, effective approach to changing sleep patterns. Their approach, based on years of research and experience with thousands of families, is especially suited for children who are more alert, intense, and persistent than their peers—and who put up a bigger fight at bedtime. Sound familiar? Then this episode is for you. In their new book, Why Won't You Sleep?! A Gamechanging Approach for Nonstop, Super-Alert, Big-Feeling Kids, Kim and Macall present a fresh take on sleep training, rooted in understanding a child's unique temperament. In our conversation, we cover common sleep struggles, misconceptions about sleep training, and why a gradual approach is empowering for both parents and children. They also share tips on setting limits for early risers and managing transitions that encourage peaceful nights.  About Macall Gordon Macall is a researcher, speaker, and author specializing in the link between temperament and sleep. She has a master's degree in Applied Psychology from Antioch University, Seattle with a research-based specialization in infant mental health. She also has a B.S. in Human Biology from Stanford University. She has conducted and presented research on temperament, sleep, and parenting advice at infant and child development conferences around the world. She has been a featured speaker at national sleep conferences and has led webinar-based advanced training for sleep coaches, mental health providers, and others.

She is the co-author (with Kim West) of the upcoming book Why Won't You Sleep?! A Gamechanging Approach for Nonstop, Super Alert, Big-feeling Kids.

About Kim West Kim West, LCSW-C is a mom of two who has been a practicing child and family social worker for over 25 years.

Prepare yourself to be immersed in warm, harmony-rich, disco rock anthems by the purveyors of pure energy - Smokey Brights.  Based in the Pacific Northwest, the Smokeys are fronted by husband/wife duo Ryan Devlin and Kim West.  Rounding out their harmonies and exceptional musicality is Luke Ragnar on bass and Nick Krivchenia on drums.We've been obsessed with the music of Smokey Brights since we discovered them, which surprisingly, was only recently.  They have a way of constructing a song that is so familiar, yet brand new - making you feel the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s all at once, and yet totally current.  Songs that are haunting, but somehow comforting - like a story of warning, that fills you with hope.We'll take a dive in to several tracks with Ryan and Kim, and learn how they all met as students and aspiring musicians working at the same pizza shop.  Since they were broke, they decided to record some covers together as gifts for their loved ones, and realized they had something special.  10+ years later, they're still producing incredible music and performing it across the country and overseas.We feature "No Getting Out", "I Love You But Damn", and "Unity", and they play 2 songs live acoustic - "72" and "Broken Too".  And Tiny sings along!Smokey Brights LinksWebsiteBuy Merch and Music direct from the band!FacebookInstagramYouTubeSmokey Brights MusicSpotifyApple MusicSoundCloudBandcampText us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Sleep is a cornerstone of a newborn's development and a critical element for a family's well-being. Transitioning from the early days of bringing a baby home, parents witness the ebb and flow of sleep patterns that accompany their baby's rapid growth and development. Our focus today zooms in on what happens beyond the six-week mark, a period ripe with changes, challenges, and opportunities for establishing healthy sleep routines. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of sleep routines for your 6-12 week old baby with the expertise of Pam Diamond. Pam Diamond is a baby whisperer and parent coach in North Carolina. She's passionate about helping families navigate parenthood with more sleep and less stress. For more than 30 years she's guided parents (and grandparents) to fix what's not working and enjoy what is.Pam founded and operated First Daze & Nightzzz, a postpartum doula and sleep consulting service, for 21 years before passing the baton to Elise Silver. She was one of the first 50 to be trained as a sleep coach by Kim West in 2011. By the six-week mark, families often notice a seismic shift in their baby's behavior and sleep patterns. Pam and I discuss strategies for extending that first long stretch of night-time sleep. Cluster feeding in the early evening and understanding the pivotal role of proper daytime naps and feedings lay the groundwork for a night of more restful sleep for both babies and their exhausted parents.When the clock strikes midnight (figuratively speaking), many parents find themselves at a crossroads of sleep deprivation and the desperate quest for a semblance of normalcy. Pam shares the concept of sleep consolidation - starting with the longest stretch at night. Surprisingly, a "long stretch" for a newborn might only be four hours, but it's a stepping stone towards a more predictable routine.As babies grow past the initial six-week phase, slight adjustments and keen observations become your best tools. The journey from erratic sleep patterns to the first signs of predictability requires patience, understanding, and a bit of science. Pam shares invaluable insights on the importance of daytime naps, proper feeding (avoiding the perilous path of snack feeding), and the underestimated power of fresh air and sunlight.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:12 Recap of part 1 05:07 No promise of a miracle07:54 What happens with sleep after you get past the 6 week mark08:55 How do we get the long stretch of sleep at night09:48 How many hours at night are we talking about in these longer stints of sleeping11:52 When babies start to have a more regular sleep schedule 14:40 Tips when no consolation is happening18:11 Should you wake up baby to feed?21:17 When are kids biologically ready to sleep through the night?24:36 Letting babies self-soothe32:19 Babies and Cortisol37:41 One last piece of wisdom - getting fresh air and sunshine each dayConnect with PamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstdazenightzzzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pamdiamondLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pameladiamond/www.pamdiamond.com   Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholebundle/https://thewholebundle.com/

Are you a new parent struggling with establishing good sleep routines for your newborn? Look no further because We've got you covered! In this episode, we're diving into the world of newborn sleep with expert insights from Pam Diamond.Pam Diamond is a baby whisperer and parent coach in North Carolina. She's passionate about helping families navigate parenthood with more sleep and less stress. For more than 30 years she's guided parents (and grandparents) to fix what's not working and enjoy what is.Pam founded and operated First Daze & Nightzzz, a postpartum doula and sleep consulting service, for 21 years before passing the baton to Elise Silver. She was one of the first 50 to be trained as a sleep coach by Kim West in 2011. She was one of the first five trained as a Hug Your Baby instructor in 2010. She's shared her expertise around parenting and caring for infants and young children writing for websites and newspapers. In the whirlwind of the first six weeks with a newborn, sleep can feel like a distant dream. One key takeaway is the importance of creating a conducive sleep environment for your baby. From minimizing stimuli to incorporating white noise, small adjustments can make a big difference in helping your little one drift off to dreamland.Pam emphasizes the significance of starting healthy sleep routines from day one. By establishing positive associations with sleep early on, you can set the foundation for long-term sleep habits. Remember, good sleep hygiene isn't just for babies – parents need to prioritize their sleep routines too.Newborns have unique sleep patterns characterized by frequent cycles of light and deep sleep. Pam sheds light on the intricacies of these sleep cycles, helping parents differentiate between true wake-ups and transitional moments. By recognizing the signs of tiredness and responding appropriately, you can support your baby's natural sleep rhythms.Swaddling is a time-honored practice that provides comfort and security to newborns. Pam explains how swaddling can help calm the startle reflex and promote better sleep. While swaddling is a useful tool in the early weeks, it's essential to transition out of it as your baby grows and develops.As we wrap up our journey into the world of newborn sleep, remember that every baby is unique. By observing your little one's cues and responding with care and attention, you can create a nurturing sleep environment that promotes restful nights for the whole family.We talk about:00:00 Intro03:00 Basic steps parents can start out with to begin good sleep hygiene08:09 Advice for families who are resistant to put their baby in a different space if they're already sleeping 10:20 Why use white noise16:06 Not letting baby stay awake too long20:14 Motion sleep23:07 Signs your baby might be sleepy24:52 Swaddling29:25 Knowing true wake up versus baby going through sleep cycles31:24 What a sleep cycle looks like for an infantConnect with PamInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstdazenightzzzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pamdiamondLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pameladiamond/www.pamdiamond.com   Connect with meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholebundle/https://thewholebundle.com/

Smokey Brights - "Long Goodbye" from the 2023 album Levitator from Nine Mile. For over a decade, Seattle natives Smokey Brights have been building a loyal fanbase with their high-energy shows and emotionally resonant music. In early June, the quartet, led by husband-and-wife duo Kim West and Ryan Devlin, unveiled their fourth full-length Levitation. The record is touted as, “A motivational mix-tape for our collective crisis of confidence,” and a “musical, magical incantation cast to lift off and dance with the cosmos, to dig deep where the diamonds shine, to laugh away our self-pity.” Our Song of the Day is the early single “Long Goodbye” which features a rambling guitar line and belted harmonies, as West and Devlin examine the complex feelings left in the aftermath of a decayed relationship. The band describes the song like this: “Long Goodbye reflects on how some relationships only find their meaning in how they end. At the conclusion of an ill fated romance, a tumultuous friendship, or even a bad job, there's a moment you realize that all that pain, all that uncertainty you felt surrounding the other person was a long goodbye.” Catch Smokey Brights at the Crocodile opening for Neal Francis on Saturday, July 8th, watch their KEXP in-studio session from 2018, and read the full post at KEXP.org.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're digging into secondary fertility and getting sleep with young children as you prepare to expand your family. Many couples have no problem conceiving their first child and then struggle to conceive their second. They may deal with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI. We see this all the time (even when the first pregnancy was very easy). I've spoken with many women who tell me that they know that they need to sleep to get pregnant, but they are struggling to get their little one to bed. We could be doing all the right things for our sleep, but our little one is not sleeping through the night or we are caught in a co-sleep situation that no longer serves us. This episode has a trigger alert as we are digging into the exact steps to help your baby/toddler get a restful night's sleep so that you can sleep too. Optimal sleep is key for our reproductive health. Today I'm welcoming Kim West to the podcast. Kim is a Clinical Social Worker (which is a child and family therapist) for over 25 years. Known as The Sleep Lady® by her clients, she has personally helped over 20,000 tired parents all over the world get a good night's sleep without letting their children cry it out alone.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Unique sleep issues for 5-12 months and 12- 2.5 years 2) The best sleep schedule for baby and toddler (ie, how many naps do they really need – the answer may surprise you) 3) Final word on co-sleeping and how to know if its right for your family 4) Sleep regression (ie, sleeping through the night and now having a hard time falling asleep or up very early)   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Get your free copy of our Spring Fertility Recipe Guide (includes 5-day meal plan/grocery shopping list, all free from the TOP allergens) at https://www.fertilitydietfreebie.com/.    I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that tells you when you're the most fertile by measuring estrogen and LH and confirms if you've actually ovulated by measuring progesterone.

I see my child being anxious and I don't really know how to help them, because I never got any help.

On this week's edition of Soaring Child, we're joined by Kim West, the best-selling author of The Sleep Lady's Goodnight Sleep Tight. She's been training gentle sleep coaches internationally since 2010 and has been featured on Dr. Phil and Good Morning America as a leading child's sleep expert.   So many kids with ADHD struggle with sleep, which in turn affects the parents' sleep as well. In fact, more than 50% of non-neurotypical kids have behavioral sleep problems.    When our bodies go to sleep, they work on our immune system and with kids, the body often produces growth hormones during sleep. The body is also working on memory, retention, storage and organization during sleep, as well as short-term learning.   So when a child is sleep-deprived, it makes it harder for them to learn, to remember, and to pay attention, basically exacerbating ADHD symptoms. Many other conditions also affect sleep like asthma (and asthma meds), obstructive sleep apnea, gut issues, reflux, restless leg syndrome, and eczema.   Kim's gentle sleep method has the parent stay in the room with the child while they learn, but then does less and less as the child learns to put themselves to sleep. It's important to follow through with consistency.   She also recommends getting at least 8 hours of sleep, while going to bed and waking up at the same time. She also suggests having a routine before sleep to trigger melatonin in the body. These tips work for kids as well as adults.     Key Takeaways: [4:45] The mechanics of falling asleep [8:45] Why kids with ADHD are affected more from sleep deprivation [14:16] Kim's Gentle Sleep Method [16:48] Most common underlying conditions that may be contributing to sleep issues [19:02] Most common signs of sleep apnea [26:30] Guide of how many hours of sleep a child needs at different ages [28:20] Good sleep hygiene tips [37:28] Kim West's upcoming books [39:56] How naps affect sleep     How To Connect With Kim: http://www.facebook.com/TheSleepLady https://instagram.com/thesleeplady/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSleepLady1/ http://www.pinterest.com/thesleeplady/       Memorable Quotes: “We are dealing with children that have problems with attention. They have an attention deficit. So when you have a kid that's not sleeping well, it affects it even more.”   “That growth, that repair of the brain and the body is so important and is happening while we're sleeping.”   “I developed a method where you stay with them while they learn. You do less and less and move away as they incorporate the skill of putting themselves to sleep.”   “Probably what's most important is that we follow through with consistency.”   “Having a routine actually helps tell the brain to start secreting melatonin, the drowsy making hormone that helps you start getting ready for sleep.”     Dana Kay Resources:  Website - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/adhdthriveinstitute  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/74302454/  Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/adhdthriveinstitute/ Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute   International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/    Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass - https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/25min-webinar-registration    ADHD Parenting Course - https://adhdthrivemethod.com/adhd-thrive-jump-start-parenting-4-adhd    ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program - https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/

Smokey Brights - “Ocean Shores,” a 2022 single on Freakout. Husband-and-wife duo and KEXP regulars, Smokey Brights, have been steadily churning out singles since their third record, 2020's I Love You But Damn. Released in the midst of the pandemic, the album was a bright spot amidst the bleakness of the world in which it was birthed and a sign of perseverance. Their latest single continues the Seattle band's streak of sunshiney optimism. Named after the sleepy seaside Washington town, “Ocean Shores” sparkles with glimmering synths and kicks off with chorus of bellowing cries before mellowing out to focus on Kim West's saccharine vocals that recount a story of spending time in the idyllic town while in the midst of battling depression and the mental gymnastics that take place when trying to get out of your head to appreciate beauty.
