S1. Ep #23 Sleep Like a Baby - with Hairstylist and Infant + Toddler Sleep Expert, Sam Rosenberg

Alexis Walker

Whoever said, "Sleep Like a Baby", must have never met a baby! If you are a new parent , you know that a peaceful night's is Gold, and can be super hard to come by. My guest today is Infant and Toddler Sleep Expert, Samantha Rosenberg. Sam got her start as a hairstylist in Hollywood and during the pandemic pivoted to become a certified sleep consultant-helping families achieve the restful sleep they need ( and deserve)!

 She has extensive experience working with neurodivergent children and those with medical concerns- and brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to her own company, Slumber Squad. Sam is a proud member of the International Association of Child Sleep Consultants (IACSC) and a momma of two. She combines professional expertise with personal insight to support and empower parents with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their sleep challenges. 

I like to think of her as the "fairy godmother" of sleep training , but really who she is- is someone who was brave enough to listen to herself and go for it! Whether you are a new parent or not, I know you'll love this episode and hearing Sam's story. So grab those little earbuds..you aren’t gonna  want to miss it!


In this episode we get into:

  • Reflections on stepping away from Los Angeles and re-evaluating life priorities 


  • Real talk about jumping in feet first , adapting to new circumstances, and going for it!


  • The importance of finding your voice, asking for what you deserve, and giving yourself a chance to try something new
