Sophy and Kai’s Story: Finding Sleep and Support That Transformed Their Family

Thriving Parent-ing

Happy New Year, Thrivers! 🎉

In this special episode of Thriving Parenting, I sit down with Sophy, a previous client who embarked on the Sleep Godmother Program when her son, Kai, was just five months old. Now at 10 months, Sophy reflects on her experience, sharing the ups, the downs, and the invaluable lessons she gained along the way.

Sophy opens up about the challenges of contact napping, the feelings of uncertainty, and how trusting herself and Kai transformed their sleep journey. Together, we explore the realities of seeking change, the discomforts of stepping out of old habits, and the ultimate reward of a more confident and connected parenting experience.

Key Highlights:

• Sophy's Background: Moving from Melbourne to sunny Queensland without family support and navigating life as a first-time mum.
• The Turning Point: Why Sophy reached out for sleep support and how a family recommendation led her to the Sleep Godmother Program.
• The Process: Insights into the three-week tailored support program, including daily logs, text support, and regular coaching calls.
• Breakthrough Moments: Learning to trust Kai’s cues, let go of control, and embrace a holistic approach to sleep, including the impact of nutrition and physical activity.
• The Result: A transformed relationship with sleep that brought independence, confidence, and trust for both mum and baby.
• Sophy's Advice: “This too shall pass.” Her reflections on surrendering to the process and recognising that every family’s journey is unique.

This heartfelt conversation is a must-listen for any parent navigating the challenges of sleep, seeking support, or simply needing a reminder that they’re not alone. Sophy’s story is a testament to the power of trust, patience, and letting go of self-imposed pressure.

About Sophy:

Sophy, originally from Melbourne, now calls sunny Queensland home. She moved there with her husband four years ago and is a proud mum to her 10-month-old son, Kai.

When consistent contact napping became unsustainable, Sophy turned to Jen's signature Sleep Godmother Program https://sleepthrivegrow.squarespace.com/sleep-godmother-program. This three-week journey offered one-on-one sleep coaching and parent mentoring, providing the support she needed to create positive change.

In this episode, Sophy reflects on her experience, sharing the highs and lows of her sleep support journey. Five months on, she discusses the transformation she’s witnessed, offering reassurance and inspiration to other mums who feel overwhelmed or scared to take the next step toward change.
