PODCAST: The Baby Sleep Connection Podcast - Kim Barthel on Connection, Regulation and Sleep

 
 
 
 

Kim recently had the pleasure of joining Heather Boyd on The Baby Sleep Connection Podcast for a conversation that wandered through so many of the ideas closest to her heart: how relationships, connection, and co-regulation shape us neurologically, socially, and emotionally.

Kim and Heather talked about:

  • Understanding behaviour by truly seeing the person in front of us

  • How our personal histories, and the stories we’ve been told, shape how we react

  • Interdependence and independence

  • Interoception as our internal radar

  • Motherhood and the rewiring of the sensory system

  • Self-compassion

Resources mentioned:

  • Lucy Jones (2023). Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood.

  • Robert Sapolsky (1993). Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers: The Acclaimed Guide to Stress, Stress-Related Diseases, and Coping.
