Olea, the Magical Sleep Fairy: A Solution for Sleep-deprived Moms with Amy Wiebe
Almost no one notices the small print in the motherhood contract until it is too late; it is a short phrase that reads: "Forget about sleeping for a couple of years." Women who have been stripped of their sleep will do anything for a night of peace and a well-rested morning.
What would you do if you were sleep-deprived for five years?
In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by the Author, Creator, Mentor, and mother of six, Amy Wiebe. Amy's sleeping problems started when she was pregnant with Max, his oldest son; by the time Max was four, she hadn't slept in five years and had transitioned from the cute and lovely woman she had always been into a cranky and snappy person. Right before losing it, a light shone over Amy's head. There was indeed someone who could help her reclaim her sleeping hours; she just had to create it, and that's how Olea, the Magical Sleep Fairy, was born.
Throughout this episode, Amy shares the behind-the-scenes of the creation of Olea, this mythological creature that came and restored the peace in Amy's house, some of the rules the Magical Sleep Fairy demands to show up, and the long-lasting effects Olea's teachings have into the sleeping routines of children. We also discuss motherhood, parenting's powerful ally: imagination, Amy's online programs and resources, and more.
