Hey, guys. My name is Sam, and my baby is actually sleeping. So we joined actually sleeping because our baby was being rocked to sleep, fed to sleep, and then transferred to the crib. And some nights she would stay awake.

I'm sorry. Some nights she would stay asleep. Other nights she would wake up after, like, half hour or sometimes after an hour. Sometimes it was happening multiple times.

And it was just, like, really stressful and the anxiety of bedtime and, like, the unknown was a lot. And my husband and I were fighting, and I wasn't sleeping, and he wasn't sleeping. All I wasn't sleeping. So I tried to, you know, Google some things and use chat GPT, and I never stuck to anything because there was, you know, no one holding me accountable, and I was desperate for sleep.

So when it wasn't working, I just fell back on what I knew. And then I found Sam and her company, and it changed our lives. You know, Olive was sleeping within one day. She slept through the night.

Within three days, she was getting me to the crib calmly and putting herself to bed, and she has slept through the night every day for the last thirteen, fourteen days. I I lost count. I'm amazed. I'm impressed.

My mom and my husband and all of Ola's grandparents are like, we can't believe this is the same baby from two weeks ago. So this program's life changing. Sam and her team have so much amazing, helpful knowledge and expertise, and, I can't thank them enough for helping us get getting Olive to sleep. And you should definitely try it because I just put her down, and now I'm gonna go sit on the couch and watch my show.

Thanks, Sam.
