The first year postpartum can feel like a blur of sleepless nights, emotional highs and lows, and shifting dynamics at home — but what if better sleep and stronger mental health actually go hand in hand? Today we're joined by Chrissy Lawler, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 17 years of experience and a mom of 4 girls, who realized firsthand just how much good sleep impacts the entire family system. She's since helped more than 500,000 families worldwide get better sleep and better mental health in a way that actually works for real life.What You'll LearnIn this episode, Chrissy breaks down the key aspects of postpartum mental health that most affect a family's sleep, communication, and bonding during that critical first year. She shares practical, evidence-based strategies for improving sleep for the whole family — without sacrificing maternal mental health in the process. We also talk through how couples can communicate about emotional needs and parenting duties in ways that reduce conflict and actually deepen connection during postpartum. Chrissy explains the role community, peer support, and professional care play in building long-term resilience, and how to know when it's time to seek extra help. Finally, she shares small daily practices and rituals parents can adopt to support emotional recovery, stronger attachment, and lasting joy at home.Connect with Chrissy LawlerWebsite: www.thepeacefulsleeper.com The Peaceful Mama: www.thepeacefulmama.org Book: https://a.co/d/00AHI4ss postpartum mental health, postpartum sleep, maternal mental health, baby sleep training, family sleep solutions, postpartum depression support, postpartum anxiety, marriage and family therapist, new mom sleep tips, infant sleep strategies, postpartum couples communication, parenting after baby, postpartum recovery, emotional bonding with baby, maternal wellness, sleep deprivation new parents, postpartum support resources, The Peaceful Sleeper, The Peaceful Mama, postpartum resilience, new mom mental healthwww.NewMomTalk.comBuy Me A CoffeeIG: @NewMomTalk.PodcastYouTube: @[email protected] in being a guest?
