    Bio of Aly Dabbs:

    Aly is a wife and mama to two wildly curious boys and lives in the Nashville, TN area. She

    graduated from Centers of Pediatric Sleep Management in September 2023 as a Certified Sleep

    Consultant. Aly hired a sleep consultant with her first born and saw firsthand the benefits of

    teaching her baby to sleep independently. When pregnant with her second, Aly kept feeling this

    pull to help other moms navigate a time that feels really, really hard and often isolating (aka –

    motherhood!). Through working with families, watching her own toddler grow, and taking

    continued education classes, Aly developed a LOVE for all things toddler sleep. It is Aly’s passion

    to help exhausted toddler moms work through those BIG toddler emotions to get their child to

    sleep through the night and in their own bed. Aly’s approach is to lead with love and take this

    dreaded thing (bedtime) and turn it into something fun.

    Since starting her business, Aly has learned a ton about networking with local businesses,

    marketing herself on social media, and SUPER EXCITING – Becoming a published Children’s

    Book Author.

    Aly Dabbs’ new book summarizes the real-life struggles parents often face at bedtime while teaching children how SLEEP is good for their bodies! This is the powerful message author Aly Dabbs is promoting in her children’s book, Bedtime Hearts. Aly’s first book was published on July 22 nd , 2025, available now on amazon, and is an absolute work of love. It was ranked #1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases AND made it to the Amazon’s Best Sellers list!

  • S3: E27 Podcast Fail & Spider Tales: When Sound Quality Bites
    2025/04/01

    Sometimes, things don’t go as planned—especially when recording a podcast as sleep-deprived parents! In this episode, we attempted to bring you a thoughtful discussion, but thanks to some serious sound quality issues, we had to scrap the original recording. Instead of leaving you with nothing, we’re sharing a little behind-the-scenes moment featuring some hilarious (and mildly terrifying) banter about the two giant spiders that decided to invade our bedroom. If you’ve ever had a moment where life just doesn’t cooperate, this one’s for you! We’ll be back next time with a full episode—assuming we survive the spider apocalypse. 🕷️😅

  • S3: E26 Breaking from Faith: Joanna & Jesse on Parenting, Boundaries, and Raising Free Thinkers
    2025/03/25

    In this conversation, Joanna Whitely and her husband Jesse share their journey of moving away from their faith, navigating parenthood, and establishing boundaries with family. They discuss the challenges of raising children, particularly those who identify as non-binary or queer, and the importance of fostering curiosity and critical thinking in their kids. Joanna also talks about her coaching program aimed at supporting parents who are navigating similar challenges, emphasizing the need for a safe space to discuss parenting without judgment.

    I bit about our guest:

    Joanna specializes in creating a safe, judgment-free space for families—especially those raising neurodiverse kids or navigating LGBTQ+ identities. She knows how hard it is to find a coach who truly gets it. Whether you’re facing big transitions or everyday struggles, She's there to offer the support, insight, and reassurance you need.

    How to find her:
