The Responsive Family Sleep Podcast
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting sleep information; frustrated by sleep advice that felt wrong; or searched for a truly gentle, responsive alternative to sleep training, then you are in the right place. In each episode I’ll be answering your most pressing baby and toddler sleep questions, dispelling common sleep myths, deepening your understanding of biologically normal sleep, and encouraging you to trust your intuition. And because sleep is rarely just about sleep, you may just find some responsive parenting, lactation, or self-care tips sprinkled in along the way.
I’m your host, Kim Hawley, MA, MPH, IBCLC Holistic Sleep Coach, Lactation Consultant, Peaceful Parenting Educator, and mom. My specialty is truly holistic, developmental, attachment focused sleep support – no hidden sleep training here!

Nurturing yourself to nurture your little one with Jennifer Grove
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The way you take care of your nervous system influences how you show up to nurture and take care of your baby. In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Grove, a Nervous System Whisperer & Venting Coach, to talk about how you can show up for yourself in the overwhelming and intense early years of parenting. We discuss self care as regulation support and emotional release, not the traditional self care of doing pampering things for yourself. We talk through the concept of micro moments of regulation, and how you can bring intention and awareness to small activities you are already doing. Our conversation touches on emotions, where they show up in your body and how to help process them and move through them so that you aren’t bottling them up or pushing them away. One of my favorite take-aways from Jennifer is that small changes and softening of the nervous system can have a meaningful positive impact – it’s not about perfection.
