What if the key to deep healing wasn't pushing harder, but learning how to pivot? In this week’s conversation, Aimee welcomes Megan Edge, a Master Healer, educator, and author, to explore the profound freedom that comes from choosing yourself, even after you've said yes to everyone else.

Megan shares her wisdom on how the words we use shape our reality, why true healing requires self-responsibility, and the liberating practice of listening to your body's "no." If you're ready to stop performing and start living from your heart, this episode is your invitation.

She takes us through:

• How the language you use keeps you stuck in old stories

• Why saying "no" is an act of profound self-care and bravery

• The difference between being an introvert and hiding from connection

• How to follow the chain of clues from overwhelm back to the core wound

  And so much more!

What if everything you've been told about baby sleep is backwards?

In this week’s episode, Aimee welcomes infant and toddler sleep specialist Aleni Katsinis to challenge Western sleep culture and reveal a more instinctual, connection-based approach to helping your child rest.

From co-sleeping to understanding what babies really need at night, this episode will transform how you think about sleep—not just for your child, but for yourself.

They take us through:

—How sleep training isn't the only option, and babies waking at night is biologically normal and healthy

—How positive sleep associations through connection create lifelong healthy sleep habits, not independence training

—Why your parental instincts are valid, even when they contradict mainstream advice

—How we were raised around sleep affects our nervous system and beliefs as adults

—Why building community support is essential when mainstream culture isolates new parents

And so much more!

Bio:

I live in Buffalo, NY, with my beautiful daughter Nora and lovely partner (for life) Dave. As a certified infant and toddler sleep specialist—and a mom myself—I know how overwhelming sleep struggles can be. Trust me, I’ve been through it all! As a first-time mom, there was so much pressure to sleep train. That pressure was overwhelming, exhausting, and draining. It took away from the moments I should have been enjoying with my daughter. I knew there had to be another way we could achieve sleep without using separation. That’s why I founded Rooted in Sleep, to honor that connection with my daughter while still getting some sleep!

My approach is based on attachment, helping families build strong roots in their relationships while nurturing their babies’ sleep needs—without using any type of sleep training methods. Together, we’ll focus on your family’s unique needs, creating a sleep rhythm that honors connection. I don’t push for strict independence; instead, I empower families to create sleep solutions that align with their values, instincts, and unique dynamics.
