93: Stop the Bedtime Chaos... Without Yelling or Losing It!

😩 "WHY is bedtime so hard?!"

If you’ve ever ended the night totally frazzled, snapping at your kids, and crashing on the couch in defeat—you are NOT alone.

Our bedtime routine used to feel like a battlefield too. I was controlling, exhausted, and low-key blaming my husband (sorry babe!).

But the truth? I was adding fuel to the fire without even realising it.

In this video, I'm breaking down why bedtime is really so stressful, and it’s not just about your kids stalling or refusing to brush their teeth!

Here’s what we’ll dive into:

✔️ Why bedtime hits exactly when your nervous system is already DONE

✔️ What your child’s wild bedtime behavior is actually trying to tell you

✔️ How emotional intelligence helps you stay calm and in control—even when you’re running on empty

✔️ Practical ways to manage your stress in the moment (yes, even when they say “I’m thirsty” for the 12th time)

✔️ The 5-minute quick tweak that will help your child wind down AND feel emotionally connected

✔️ What to do instead of yelling or bribing, and how to rebuild calmer nights that actually feel good.

💡 Bedtime is more than sleep. It’s a mirror showing us how we handle pressure, chaos, and disconnection. This is your chance to make a real shift.
