Loving Lessons Learned- The Sleep Coaching Podcast
I used to be a tired, overwhelmed, and anxious parent because my children were not sleeping. But, then I taught my children how to sleep and now I’m a calm, confident, and rested parent due to my training as a Gentle Sleep Coach, Educator, Postpartum Doula, Infant Feeding Specialist, and Parent Mentor.
What's important to know…In our most sleep deprived moments our children will teach us exactly what we need about love and life, in order to learn and grow into who we were created to be.
These are the loving lessons we will learn whether we want to or not. I’m Irene Gouge, your sleep coach and I’m on a mission to educate parents on how to help your child sleep!
In this podcast we will talk about all things sleep, feeding, and play related when it comes to parenting our newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers!
Let's get SLEEP!
Using the SLEEP acronym means parent can learn to:
S- Show up as a calm, confident, and rested parent
L- Lead and guide your routines with trust and respect
E- Establish environments and communication that support the routines
E- Empower your child and Embrace the learning process
P- Play, have fun, and become the parent you want to be while everyone gets sleep!
Welcome to the parenting journey here at Loving Lessons Learned!

Ep.18- Sleepless and Overwhelming Beginnings: becoming the parent I wanted to be
Parenting is a journey filled with expectations and realities that rarely align perfectly. As a parent, I've experienced overwhelmed emotions, sleepless nights, and the constant struggle between how I thought things would be and how they actually turned out. But you don't have to do parenting this way. It's possible to transform your parenting journey by reaching out for help and finding a team of providers who can support you.
