Hi, this is Janet Landsbury and welcome to UnRuffled.

Today, I'm joined by my friend and colleague, Lisa Sunbury, I'm so excited.

And we'll be responding to an email from a mother about her toddler's sleep issues.

Lisa Sunbury, if you're not aware of her work, she spent over 20 years working in early childhood education,

advocating for infants, toddlers, and their parents.

She has a master's degree from Leslie University and she trained to become a rise associate under the guidance of my mentor as well, Magda Gerber.

She's taught rye parent infant guidance classes, she consults for child care programs and mentors, adults, and the rye approach.

She generously hosts and contributes her time to answering questions in a group on Facebook that has 35,000 people interested in learning more about Magda's approach.

And she offers private consultations to parents through her website regarding baby.org.

And most importantly, she's my friend.

I couldn't be doing this work online without her.

And I depend on her. So I'm so excited she's here.

Parenting can be physically and mentally exhausting. It's all consuming, right?

Yes, we love this work, but we're always on call. We give so much. We really have a moment to think about our own well-being.

Most of the time we're making it up as we go along. There's no road map.

So we have to set our own boundaries to find balance in our lives.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help. I've used therapy from time to time and it's allowed me to take a step back, regain some clarity and confidence, and eventually become a better version of myself.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try. It's entirely online, video, phone, live chat, even text messaging.

Just fill out a short questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist.

If your initial therapist doesn't feel like a good fit, no problem. It's easy to switch any time for no additional charge.

Let therapy be your map with better help.
