66. COMEBACK – Chantelle Angel – Coping with sleep deprivation – using a sleep consultant - deciding to leave your job and retrain

Hello Bright Minds,

Chantelle Angel started her career as a Montessori teacher before going onto work for a children’s disability charity where she became pregnant with her first child. That baby is now 3 ½ and she has another son who is 17 months. Chantelle is now a qualified paediatric sleep consultant and founder of  Dreaming Angels,  working with a range of parents, mainly in the UK, although she’s reached as far as Singapore and the US.

You’re going to hear about:

• Common baby sleep issues and what you can do about them
• Chantelle’s transformative experience of being helped by a sleep consultant
• The science behind why babies who are cuddled off to sleep are more prone to waking and crying later in the night
• Top tips for settling babies
• And as always the wobbliest moment and peak moment of my guest’s return to work experience.

Here's the link to the Live Q&A with Dr Mandy Lehto on taming your overachiever gremlin and spotting the signs of burnout (26/9/23 8pm BST) that I mentioned during this episode. Complimentary tickets available via this link.
