Please take care when listening to today's episode.

Caylin shares how the wheels essentially "fell off" when eight days after giving birth to her daughter, her husband was called away for work — and spent eight of her daughter’s first sixteen weeks overseas.

With no family nearby and very little support, Caylin quickly found herself spiralling. She opens up about the guilt of asking her husband to come home, the sleep deprivation, the anxiety, and the moment she realised she needed help.

Now living in Japan and running her own business Pepi & Parent, Caylin shares how her personal experience, combined with a professional background in psychology and mental health, led her to support other parents with holistic, evidence-based sleep guidance.
