Catching Zzz's: A Better Sleep Council podcast12 Elo 2025

Navigating Sleep at Every Age – From Newborns to College Students with Lissa Coffey & Emma Ekum [Part 1]

Welcome back to the Better Sleep Council Podcast and another episode of Catching Zzz's! We are back for season 2 and we are kicking it off with mixing it up with the host seat. I'm Lissa Coffey, you may remember me from previous episodes where I chatted with Mary Helen Rogers about Ayurveda Doshas and how stress affects your sleep.

This week I'm in the host seat and I welcome Emma Ekum, who is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles, California. She integrates therapeutic techniques with practical sleep strategies to help individuals and couples overcome sleep challenges and improve overall well-being.

During our conversation, we dive into everything from the wild early days with newborns—think sleepless nights, mysterious baby noises, and the crucial role of sleep routines—to practical tips for creating safe, soothing sleep environments as kids grow. We unpack topics like baby sleep schedules, the benefits of white noise, how and when to transition kids to their own rooms or big kid beds, and all the modern parenting hacks that can make bedtime a little smoother for everyone.

Whether you're a new parent feeling sleep-deprived or just curious about how to set your child up for a lifetime of healthy sleep habits, this episode is filled with relatable stories, expert advice, and plenty of laughs. So get cozy, and enjoy this insightful conversation that's all about catching those much-needed Z's—even if your little ones make it a challenge!

We were having such a good time chatting, that we actually split the episode into two parts – tune next week for part 2!
