WHY WON’T YOU SLEEP?!

If you've ever found yourself whisper-yelling “Why won’t you sleep?!” into the darkness at 2 a.m., you're not alone. And contrary to what books and advice columns might suggest, it’s not always about routines or bad habits—it could be your child’s temperament. In this powerful episode, I sit down with Macall Gordon, a certified pediatric sleep consultant and co-author of Why Won’t You Sleep?, to dig deep into what’s really going on with those sensitive, alert, big-feeling kids who just. won’t. sleep.

We talk about why standard sleep training advice often fails for these so-called “livewire” kids, the link between temperament and sleep challenges, and how guilt, shame, and exhaustion can make parents feel like they’re doing everything wrong. Macall shares practical, compassionate insight and encourages parents to stop blaming themselves and start building tools that actually fit their child’s wiring.

If you’re tired of cookie-cutter advice and ready for real strategies, honest truth, and a whole lot of grace, this conversation is for you.
