What if a few loving words at bedtime could change your child’s emotional world?
In this episode, we explore the power of unconditional love, subconscious messaging during sleep, and how the SleepTalk® method helps children feel secure, calm, and deeply connected—especially when they struggle during the day.
Kerre Burley, founder of the International SleepTalk® Training Academy, joins us to share how parents can create lasting change in their child’s confidence and behavior by using short bedtime rituals.
We also look at how the brain responds to emotional safety, what it means to build deep interconnection at a subconscious level, and why tools like this are not just for kids—but for healing the parent-child bond itself.
