Mama Matters Too / Sleep Training, Postpartum, Overstimulated, Christian Mom, Baby Sleep ScheduleAuthor: ALEXA MARTINEZ
Are you sick of feeling like you cant show up for yourself or your kids as the mom you want to be, due to exhaustion? Do you crave time alone to fill your own cup, but cant get it due to your children not sleeping? Are you tired of feeling dysregulated, exhausted, and overstimulated? Are you ready to be a more present and patient mother? I am so thankful youre here, mama. This podcast will help you find more rest, joy, and peace in motherhood, by getting your baby or young kiddo to start sleeping through the night! Hey, Im Alexa. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover who spent the first 6 months of my newborns life feeling beyond exhausted, anxious, and like a zombie just going through the motions. I wasnt able to be a fully present mom or enjoy motherhood. Being riddled with anxiety and sleeping 3-5 hours a night just wasnt working anymorefor me, my marriage, or my son! I was afraid to start sleep training, thinking maybe it wouldnt work, or it would negatively affect my sons development, or hurt our attachment. Howeverit did just the opposite. Sleep training changed our lives; my son was happier and well rested, my mental health slowly got better, I was able to BOND and be present with my son, and my home finally had some peace and predictability. However, I felt like my sleep training experience was missing something. It wasnt customized specifically for my family, I had a lot of questions that didnt get answered, and I could have used some non-judgmental support and encouragement while walking through the process! So, I created it for you. I went to work and got certified as a Sleep Training Consultant and a Postpartum Doula, so that I could create a space for moms to get complete support as they walk through sleep training their babies in a way that feels good for them. Inside this podcast, you will find sleep training solutions and tips for children aged newborn-6 years old, encouragement and community (you are not alone!!), tips on how to bring routines and predictabi Language: en Genres: Health & Fitness, Kids & Family, Mental Health, Parenting Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

EP 24 // Toddler Bedtime Battles: 3 Gentle Boundaries That Make Nights Peaceful Again
Episode 24
Friday, 12 December, 2025
Bedtime with toddlers can feel like a hostage negotiation: 47 requests for water, endless “one more story!” pleas, and a mama who is completely touched out and frustrated by 8:30 pm. In this episode, I’m breaking down why bedtime is so hard for toddlers (it’s not just “defiance”) and walking you through 3 gentle, Christ centered boundaries that make nights more peaceful again. You’ll learn how to build a simple, predictable routine, how to front load connection so your child isn’t desperate for attention at lights out, and how to hold clear, kind limits when the stalling starts-without yelling, shaming, or drowning in mom guilt.
