Madalina shares her passion for helping mothers on maternity leave who can take their time, bed share, and listen to their intuition. A discussion is sparked about the pressures that come from returning to work within weeks of birth and the benefits of long-term, paid maternity leave. Madalina and Meredith discuss the changes and shifts in their professional lives during the last 3 years since they met. Madalina celebrates the thousands of lives she has touched through social media, 1:1 coaching,  collaborations, workshops, and published guides. She enjoys helping parents who bedshare and roomshare and practicing Baby-Centered tear-free solutions. Meredith explains the reasons she educates her students on normal infant sleep expectations and child development & describes what makes her sleep consultant 100x more valuable than other courses.
