In this episode of Luz Musings, Dr. Miller sits down with Sarah Cooper to explore the evolution of Baby and Me and the importance of supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of childhood.

Together, they discuss the power of attachment, emotional regulation, and responsive parenting, along with how our own childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Sarah shares insights into the unique challenges of raising toddlers and preschoolers, the science behind “mom brain,” and why building a strong support system can make all the difference.

From navigating societal expectations to replacing shame with curiosity, this conversation reminds parents that they don’t have to have it all figured out. Parenting is a journey of connection, learning, and growth, and no family should have to navigate it alone.

In this episode, we explore:

• The evolution of Baby and Me and its approach to family support
• Building secure attachment during the early years
• Supporting emotional regulation in young children
• How our own upbringing influences our parenting
• The importance of community during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond
• Supporting families through birth, foster care, and adoption
• Understanding brain development and the science of “mom brain”
• Letting go of parenting guilt, shame, and unrealistic expectations

Whether you’re expecting your first child, navigating the toddler years, or simply looking for reassurance along your parenting journey, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that connection matters more than perfection.
