Today I’m joined by infant sleep consultant, founder of care it out and nanny of 20 years, Kerry Secker. Navigating sleep with our kids can be challenging, it can also be confusing, and often parents are told that the only thing that’ll work is to leave their babies and kids to cry themselves to sleep, and their child will magically sleep through the night. Kerry has had such a unique journey into parenthood. She was a nanny for 20 years, then began working with families to help them find gentle ways to navigate their little ones' sleep, and then a little later in life, became a parent. We unpick all of this in today's episode. So if you’re struggling with your little ones' sleep, or if want to hear what life was like for Kerry as she transitioned into parenthood after 2 decades of looking after kids for other families. This episode is for you.

In this episode of the Parenting Truths Podcast, we delve into a topic that is often shrouded in silence and secrecy: infertility. Joining me today is Logan Donnelly, better known as KiwiDad, who opens up about his personal journey. At just 6 years old, Logan suffered a head injury, and at 17, he was involved in a car crash. These incidents took a toll on his health, leading to low energy, frequent migraines, and an alarming discovery, that his hormonal system was completely out of sync. Facing a life-altering decision at the age of 21, Logan was offered hormone replacement therapy as a potential solution. However, this treatment came with an unfortunate side effect, infertility! Logan bravely shares his unique journey, taking us through the emotional challenges he encountered. Determined to become a parent, he even experimented with fertility drugs, which brought about their own set of side effects. Join us as we delve into Logan's powerful story, shedding light on the realities and struggles of infertility.
