## Resource

Today's episode is brought to you (as usual!) by a conversation with a client that I had today. This time, it was a reel, captioned "Cry It Out Is Not A Thing" which discussed.....nothing that was even remotely related to sleep. But a great hook, right?! So today I'm going to unpack it a bit - a response to the constant barrage of triggering content we get as parents on social media (and a reminder about what actually matters, and what to focus on, instead). In this episode I mentioned another one (my most downloaded episode ever!) Check it out here: The Truth About "Gentle Sleep" and "Cry It Out" Loved this episode?
