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. 31 Build your Circle: Support for Parents and Providers
In this episode, we explore how building a supportive community can transform your family's overall well-being. Chrissy Fishbane and Cindy Michelson from Her Health Collective share powerful insights on the importance of cultivating meaningful relationships. One pivotal moment comes when a powerful question is asked, "If you had to go to the hospital, who would you call for help?" The answer highlights why having a trusted circle of friends is essential, not only for emotional support but also for reducing stress and anxiety.
One of the most valuable takeaways from this conversation was the reminder to continue exploring yourself, even as a parent. Cindy shared, “It’s so easy to lose yourself in the care of others,” while Chrissy spoke about segmenting her life into "Working Crissi, Mom Crissi, and Crissi time," emphasizing the importance of staying grounded and nurturing every part of who we are.
Tune in to learn how fostering these connections and reaching out for the support you need can lead to more restful nights and a happier home.
