So why don't you just tell the audience more about your podcast and when you decided to bring it to life?
4:36
Yeah, absolutely.
4:37
So about I think it is actually three years old this month.
4:42
I went through a very interesting time in my life.
4:46
I was with somebody for almost a decade.
4:48
And we decided one day, like to end our relationship mutually.
4:53
And I thought that, you know, okay, it'll be fine.

I really love that.
6:58
So what about the rawness do you think let people connect with you
7:02
so fast? So my Season 1, for those who are wanting to start a podcast, my Season 1, I laid my cell phone on my chest in the Riverside app, and I pressed record.
7:17
Because I was just going through a fresh breakup after 10 years and I needed someone to talk to.
7:24
And although I have a master's degree in counseling and I have a ton of friends that are licensed therapists, I don't want them in my business like that.
7:32
You know, I didn't want people to judge me.
7:36
I didn't want people to misunderstand this persona that I had created.
7:41
And so what better would I do than let the whole world know my story? Oops.
10:31
That's my worst nightmare.

But is there a sweet spot between the cry it out method, which is one extreme, to complete attachment sleeping
12:53
i would be really honest and say i don't think there's there's the i'd like to think that mine's a bit of a compromise i'm happy to talk a little bit about it um i would say it's not stark opposite i would say that if someone came to me and said hi i've got a baby we want to continue co-sleeping have her in our room it's happened before I want to breastfeed still at night.
13:14
I'm not too fussed about other things.
13:16
Can you actually modify your programme to suit our requirements? I would be honest and say, I can't.
13:22
Because what you're going to say is you've not had the success that I'm going to promise you.
13:26
And I've worked with 6,000 families and they've succeeded.
13:29
So I'm not going to promise something I know doesn't work for my programme.
