I’ll be honest, I didn’t even want to talk about this one. I’ve been co-sleeping with my daughter since she was three days old, so broken sleep has been my normal. But last night was one of the hardest nights yet. I’m jealous of moms whose babies sleep, resentful of every headline that says babies should be sleeping through the night, and exhausted from counting phantom cries at 3 a.m. If you’ve ever stumbled through motherhood on zombie mode, this one’s for you.In this episode of Ask Me How I’m Really Doing: A Mom’s Podcast, I share the truth about postpartum sleep deprivation, co-sleeping, and the emotional labor of babies who still wake through the night. We talk about phantom cries, motherhood exhaustion, and how to redefine rest when sleep feels impossible.Timestamped Highlights😮‍💨 (00:01) Naming the jealousy I feel toward moms whose babies sleep🌙 (00:38) Twelve months of broken nights and the toll it takes👶🏽 (02:06) The comedy and chaos of midnight wakeups with Estelle📺 (04:30) Why I had to stop watching drama before bed just to cope📱 (06:59) The battle between phone time and real rest💭 (08:35) Rethinking baby independence and what rest really means🌱 Dream Seed Journal PromptWhat does rest look like for you in this season, even if it isn’t sleep?
