Sarah Pashniak-Pashionate About Sleep

Season 2, Ep. 11.24


I had such an amazing conversation with Sarah. You must listen to this episode if you have toddlers or infants! We talk about mental health and I get some free therapy once again!


Bio: Sarah is a busy mom of three who discovered her passion (aka pashion) for sleep when her babies slept like garbage. Sarah has an education degree with a major in psychology. She is also a certified pediatric sleep coach and she works with exhausted parents and helps them get some zzz’s in their life. She knows first hand the impact that a lack of sleep has on the infant/child as well as the parents. Sleep is essential for mental well being and Sarah helps sleep deprived parents get some much needed rest.  


From Sarah:

I help exhausted and sleep deprived parents give their little ones the precious sleep they need every night. Lack of sleep not only affects the development of our infants and toddlers, it also impacts everyone in the family.  

As a mother of twin boys and a little girl, I understand the trickle effect that the lack of sleep has on everyone in the family. 

After the birth of our twin boys, I struggled with postpartum depression. I felt anxious as a new mother and I began to have difficulty sleeping.

When one baby was awake, the other would be asleep. I felt like I was drowning and I was extremely sleep deprived. 

My husband and I decided to sleep train the boys and I finally began to sleep more!  

My babies were well slept and happy. I finally felt like my true self again!

"When one baby was awake, the other would be asleep. I felt like I was drowning and I was extremely sleep deprived."

Flash forward a few years and we have another baby!  She really struggled with sleep and so both of us ended up being sleep deprived. 

When she turned 16 weeks old, I hired a sleep consultant and it was a game changer! I felt so motivated to help other families in similar situations. 


Sleep coaching has been an investment in my children, my family, my mental health, and my marriage. I would love to help you and your family get the sleep you need and deserve!

I am Pashionate about how sleep impacted our children’s lives. 

I am Pashionate about feeling like my true self.

Life gets Better after Devastating Loss

Season 3, Ep. 5
I turned to writing after George, my partner of 32 years, died of cancer in April 2013, and I found myself living alone for the first time at age 50.I needed to know I still existed after a year of being his caregiver, watching him disintegrate, feeling deep in my bones that somehow I was failing him. He was in denial so he thought he was going to recover even as his body abandoned him.I couldn’t fix his illness, not could I jolt him into reality, nor get him to agree to palliative care, nor to involve his parents who were going to lose their only child. I thought I was crawling out of my skin. Through grief therapy, I found out I had post-traumatic stress disorder.Over the next few years, I sort of got better, in dribs and drabs, but the loneliness enveloped me. For 32 years, George and I had eaten dinner together almost every night, then curled up in bed to wake up beside each other each morning. I still wonder, where does all that love go? Is it transmuted into protective energy or is it just gone?I was a practicing attorney for over ten years which lends my writing an acrid tone of bitterness and irony. In an effort to work on that, I also earned an MFA in creative nonfiction from Saint Mary’s College of California in May of 2020.My essays have been published in The New York Times’ “Modern Love” column, HuffPost, Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Elle Decor, and Reader’s Digest, among other publications. My award-winning blog, debbieweissauthor.com dispenses empathy and advice on grief and dating after loss.I’ve been in the California Bay Area since I was six, and currently live in Benicia, CA. I can usually be found walking by the water, on a hiking trail, in a yoga class, or discussing the virtues of cheese with my second life partner, Randal.DebbieFind Debbie here Instagram Website FacebookTikTok〰️〰️Shanny 👖〰️〰️LinkTreeInstagram TikTokYouTube Facebook www.ShannyPantsShow.com
