In this episode, we’re talking about infertility and the journey to building a family. I’m joined by two of the organizers of Halifax’s first Fertility Matters 6K, Nicole Ford and Kate Elliot, and we share some of our own experiences while talking about the physical, emotional, practical and financial realities that can come with infertility.

We also chat about why having more open conversations around infertility matters, the importance of community and support, and the Fertility Matters 6K Movement happening in Halifax on October 3rd at Point Pleasant Park. The 6K starts at 9:00 a.m., with registration opening earlier in the morning.

Whether you’ve experienced infertility yourself, are supporting someone who has, or simply want to better understand the experience, we hope this conversation helps open up the conversation a little more.

Today I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics in parenting: sleep training and attachment.

Does sleep training actually harm your bond with your baby? What does the research really say about crying, responsiveness, and secure attachment?

We're breaking down the myths, shares what experts in child development and pediatric sleep research have found, and explores why attachment is built through the overall relationship — not one parenting decision.

If you’ve ever felt torn between supporting your baby’s sleep and protecting your connection, this episode is for you.
