Description

We are deep in toddler bedtime stalling territory and if you’ve been here before, you know the pain.

Every night is a masterclass in negotiation.

And by “negotiation,” I mean manipulation, emotional warfare and being asked to read the same book 47 times while a tiny human practices their latest excuse for staying awake.

In this episode, I talk about the emotional toll of these bedtime marathons and why solo parenting makes it feel even heavier.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people, of the Eora Nation.

I pay my respects to Elders past and present.
