08. Beyond Bedtime: Designing a life, not just a business w/ sleep consultant Dr. Kelsey Alford

I loved having  Dr. Kelsey Alford, pediatric nurse practitioner, and sleep consultant as a guest on today's episode!  Kelsey brings a wealth of medical expertise to her business, The Nested Sleep, and in our candid conversation, she spills the secrets of how she navigates the choppy waters of online sleep advice, the dueling roles of motherhood and CEO, and her approach to transformative sleep solutions. We tackle the significance of a restful night's sleep for the entire family and the ripple effect it has on overall well-being, all from the lens of a mom who's been in the trenches herself.

If you have listened to previous episodes of the Made for Mothers Podcast then you know how much I LOVE a sleep consultant, which is why I share my own positive experience with sleep training... and for those out there wondering if hiring a sleep coach is a tearful affair, rest assured, we approach the emotional side with a compassionate lens, assuring you it's a supportive and positive step towards better nights.

To wrap up, we reflect on the ebb and flow of parenting while steering the ship of a thriving business. From the changing dynamics of motherhood to the continuous decision-making that comes with both roles, listen in as we share personal anecdotes and hard-earned wisdom on staying adaptable. We also underscore the importance of support systems for moms blazing their entrepreneurial trail, because let's face it, juggling the two is no small feat. And if you're wondering where to follow more of Kelsey's insights, we've got you covered with directions to her empowering podcast below!
