Hey everyone, welcome back to the Maraculous Momma's podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth

Joy. And we believe in empowering people through storytelling and conversations. This

week we have on an amazing guest who is a mom and inventor who came up with an amazing

product to help baby sleep better at night. I don't know you, but I could use some of

that in my life. Jovey is cutting another tooth right now. I saw one finally cut through

this last week. I see the whites of two others. And she is just not sleeping well. And it

going through so much. She's trying to walk. She's standing independently. And there's

just like all these milestones going on. So I know she needs us to be there for her.

And when she won't let us put her down in the middle of the night, I can't just like rock

her all night long. So she usually ends up in bed with us practicing safe co-sleeping.

And that's like the only way that we are able to get some sleep right now is just surviving

through that. And it is hard because I feel like I get stuck in a certain position in

order to just like safe sleep with her. So I'm kind of like stuck in one position.
