Baby2Sleep Making Sleep Education accessible and affordable to every parent from pregnancy through to children turning 6 years old.

Helping parents to feel seen for the first time and validating their feelings. £7pm to join the Sleep Well, Live Well Membership I am a mum of 2 girls, Sofia (6) and Alyssia (2), and a Holistic Sleep Coach who has trained under Lyndsey Hookway through BabyEm. My own experience with severe sleep deprivation has led me to study sleep and behaviour in order to support my own children, along with supporting other families who may be struggling due to their own baby or child's difficulty to sleep well. I do this by supporting the parents by increasing their knowledge and by using positive and responsive strategies to help the whole family get a good nights sleep. I have won Theo Paphitis's SBS award, Jacqueline Gold's WOW award, I am Twitters Queen of Developing Bonds, and twice winner of Lux Life Magazine's Most Trusted Baby Sleep Coach, UK 2020 and 2021 for my online courses. I have also been featured in the Manchester Evening News, The Sue Atkins Podcast, BBC, ITV, GB News, Metro News with more to come. I not only support parents who already have their children, but I am now in a position to be able to offer support to expectant parents to help them through birth, and prepare them for what is to come in the first 6 months after having a baby. I have a range of support, both online and personalised one to one support, and am also available to speak at events. Online Courses:

Newborn - What to expect in the first 6 months £39

6-24 months - Build Your Own Sleep Plan with 2 months online support included £99

20 months to 6 years old - Child Behaviour and Sleep Support Guide with 2 months online support included £129

There is a deliberate cross over in ages on the courses. If you have a 22 month old who has always struggled with sleep, you would start with the Sleep Plan, if your 22 month old's sleep issues are new, you would go with the older course. If you need more hand held personalised support, this is £399. Knowledge is power, and if I can empower you to feel secure in what you are doing and why you are doing it, help you introduce positive strategies to help develop and strengthen your bond while improving sleep, then I am doing something right. You don't have to leave your baby or child to cry alone, you can support them to sleep well by understanding their individual needs and meeting them.

Back in the press again today celebrating 3 award wins this year in ManchesterWorld

I love the fact we have the call to action got employers to take part in the first cohort of The Workplace Sleep Impact Project with phase one focusing on sleep through the peri/menopausal years.

I have just had my head down today finalising the protocol and methodology of how the research will be done, and I think my head is fried.

Hoping to find a way to get ethics approval without being attached to a university, so if anyone knows a way to do this, I have all my methodology ready to send over.

Things are looking pretty exciting at the moment with some great conversations going on.

So yes, a mum who had no business knowledge, has picked up a hat trick of awards this year.

Thank you so much to Sandra Garlick for the incredible opportunities with Woman Who

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE for announcing me your North West Beauty, Health and Wellbeing UK StartUp’s Awards winner.

And to Small Business Saturday UK for naming me one of the UK’s favourite businesses.

The year isn’t over yet, and I’m in the final at 2 more awards in the next few weeks. Who knows, maybe things are on the up, and my voice is getting loud enough to really start making the impact that needs to happen.

I dropped an award win on Friday, then disappeared off social media for the weekend. Not the best PR, but here’s why.

On Friday, I was incredibly proud to win the Woman Who Solopreneur Award.

And in true Nicole style, there had to be a comedy moment.🤣

They announced my name, but I heard “Nicola” and sat there in my cardigan & glasses looking around for someone else. There actually WAS a Nicola with a similar surname in the room, so while everyone was looking at me, I was looking for her!😂

Anyway, I shared the news, received so many lovely messages, and then vanished.

This weekend was about my girls.

Hubby was away promoting his album Chronicles Of The Residuum at FantasyCon in Glasgow, and I’ve been feeling pretty run down lately.

Being a solopreneur comes with an enormous amount of responsibility, financial pressure and self-doubt. And lately, I’ve felt my children haven’t had the best version of me.

So I decided we needed a weekend of reconnection, fun and making memories. On a budget!

Saturday involved Morrisons (kids eat free!), the National Football Museum (free for Manchester residents) and Rock Over Climbing

The girls climbed while I perfected the art of internal helicopter parenting and external encouragement.😂

Sunday was spent at CAFTcharity, an incredible adventure farm for children with additional needs, followed by even more climbing.

Seeing my girls playing together, laughing and thriving outdoors was exactly what we all needed.

Somewhere in between, I also cleaned the bathrooms and started decorating the kitchen. Because apparently I don’t know how to sit still.🤣

Today it’s back to work, with meetings about The Workplace Sleep Impact Project, which starts its first delivery next Monday.

I’m still looking for employers who’d like to take part & actually measure the impact of their wellbeing investment.

But this weekend reminded me why I work so hard in the first place.

I’m incredibly proud of winning that award, but I’m also a mum, and sometimes the most important thing I can do is put everything else down and be fully present for my girls.

They needed more of me this weekend.

And I think I needed more of them too.

Well I didn’t expect this today.

I have literally just got home from the Woman Who Solopreneaur awards where I amazingly was named one of this years winners.

I’m going to look through the videos and I might share one.

It took a good while to realise my name had been called as there was another lady with a similar name and I didn’t think it could have been me.

It made everyone giggle though when they heard me say, ‘who, me? F***.’

It was definitely not expected.

I’ll share more when I’m feeling less tired as it’s been a long few weeks and a long day, but amazing day.

Thank you Jay Diamond | Reality Recoding ™️ for being incredible company on my travels.

Thank you as always Sandra Garlick for hosting the most fabulous event with a room full of incredible and inspirational women.

More to come soon, but for now, it’s time to flop. X

HR, People and Wellbeing leaders - I want your opinion on something I dont think were talking about enough.

Where does sleep actually sit within workplace wellbeing?

Organisations are investing in mental health, menopause, stress, physical health, parents and carers and many other areas of employee wellbeing.

But sleep still seems to sit somewhere near the bottom of the pile. second lowest in fact according to the latest CIPD Health and Wellbeing in Work report.

So, rather than me making assumptions about why that is, I want to hear from the people making these decisions.

I want to hear whats happening in your organisation.

What are you doing well?

Where does sleep fit?

What stops it getting more attention?

How do you decide where to invest your wellbeing budget?

And how do you know whether the things youre investing in are actually making a difference?

I’ve put together a short questionnaire for people working in HR, People and Wellbeing.

It’ll take around 3-4 minutes, and Im going to bring the responses together and share what I learn.

Because I think theres a really interesting conversation to be had about why were investing so heavily in the branches of workplace wellbeing while sleep, which touches so many of them, receives comparatively little attention.

If you work in HR, People or Wellbeing, I genuinely want to hear your experience.

The link is in tonight’s story, but if you miss this post, comment and I’ll fire it over.

Also, if theres someone in your network who works in this space, please tag them or send this to them. The more perspectives I can hear, the more useful this becomes.

Well this came as a bit of a shock. I haven’t just made the final of one category, but 3. 🥳😱

I’ll be honest, I’m not too sure what to say. I know a lot of people may think it’s weird to celebrate being weird, but the truth is, to do what I’ve done, the way I’ve done it, after having been through what I have been through, you have to be weird to keep going.

There are so many times I should have just given up and ‘got a real job’. I still get asked when enough is enough and if I am going to stop, because in all honesty, running a business where the sole focus is to change an entire culture and societies thoughts around sleep and make a better future for everyone else, really is pretty stupid when there isn’t any money or a team behind me backing it.

It’s me, my voice, my mission, and relying on people like you to help me get my mission heard of so I can make real change happen.

It is not easy, and there are times when I wonder if getting a job in my old career and earning loads of money would make life easier, but the truth is, it wouldn’t light me up.

It wouldn’t give me the kick I get from helping people and seeing the needle move in the right direction at companies.

So yes, I am very weird, and I am proud of it, and it’s lovely to see others can see that.

Thank you Holly and Charlotte and Holly Matthews |Weird AF | The Happy Me Project

I know some people really won’t like this as a use of AI, but I personally love understanding how my chat bot see’s me.

I talk to it so much about my work, my life, my dreams and more, so it’s interesting to see what it makes of me from our conversations.

I actually think this is pretty spot on.

If you want to try it, this is the prompt you can copy and paste. X

Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo.
The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide.

Absolutely gutted I didn’t even come close to winning the Great British Build Off with team.blue

I did look at the winners though and their apps were pristine.

Absolutely beautiful, very clear and extremely professional.

Personally, I didn’t have a scoobies what I was doing, but wanted to see if I could take what was in my head and make it work.

It absolutely did.

Now I have something to build on, get clinical governance with, set up data protection and so forth, and then it will be incredible.

I honestly thought my personalised and conversational sleep support would be six figures and a lot of expertise and years away, but now I know that isn’t the case.

It’s quite exciting to see how it works and that it genuinely will work.

But, until then, you will have to make do with my workshops, which, considering I didn’t actually speak to many people during the day, means the offer I created for people at Ideas Fest fell on no ears, let alone deaf ones.

So, as all my individual workshops are available half price until Friday using the code ‘IDEASFEST’ I might aswell get them out to you.

You can access;

Sleep through Perimenopause and Menopausal Years workshop for just £18.50 (normally £37).

Sleep Smarter, Live Better for just £9.50 (normally £19)

Parental Rage: Finding Calm in the Chaos for £9.50 (normally £19).

Scroll across to see the QR codes, check them out. (Press and hold the code).

You have until Friday to take advantage of this one time offer.

As the people who have taken part in my workshops say, they are ‘Pure Gold’, so act fast.

It’s immediate access and you can start learning about sleep, and creating strategies to help you improve your own sleep.

Shout up if you have any questions.

Quick demo on the new sleep app I created at with .blue.hub and

I would love for you to check out and give it a try.

Please note that this hasn’t had thorough testing yet as I literally created it on my phone in a field with very limited internet in 90 minutes.

It needs to be prettier and I need to add a couple of extra buttons such as gender and age to help the answers be more specific as you may not think to add your gender or age, but this can be added next week when I’m back at work.

This is very much prototype and the answers may not be perfect as it stands right this minute, this is going to take some time for me to really hone in on.

I plan to be running a beta testing group of just 100 people who can sign up to the app for lifetime access for just £25 and be part of the building experience.

Your thoughts matter and can help shape how this will look.

The spaces for the free lifetime access for the initial £25 will be limited to just the first 100 people, so let me know if you are interested in being one of the first and I’ll let you know when I launch it.

Check out the story to get the link to test the app.

.blue.hub here is my pitch to go with my app.

This app is designed to meet people where they are in life and help them to sleep well.

We are in the middle of a sleep epidemic with 1 in 3 adults being sleep deprived.

Generic advice like turn your screens off and go to bed earlier just isn’t cutting it.

Life is busy, stress is high, and people just aren’t getting the sleep they need.

This really is the beginning, the app has been built in 90 minutes with very limited internet and I plan to keep developing this app and make sure it meets everyone where they are.

Feel free to check out the app and share your feedback.

If your baby or child isn’t sleeping well, please try my app. It actually f*in works. Try it.Test it and and vote. Tell ...

If your baby or child isn’t sleeping well, please try my app.

It actually f*in works. Try it.

Test it and and vote.

Tell it what issues you have going on in terms of sleep.

It could be that you aren’t sleeping well.

It could be that your child isn’t sleeping well which means you aren’t.

This app has years of my knowledge in there to help you learn how you personally can sleep better.

It isn’t perfect as it was created with very limited internet and in 90 minutes in an app building competition, and I need your votes this morning to give me a shot.

I have just 35 votes. The top one has over 600.

It isn’t done just on votes, apparently they do look through every app, but the votes do count.

Your feedback to me on the way the app works is going to help me develop it and show what I’ve been wanting to do for so long.

It naturally isn’t gospel, it might not be perfect, but it should help.

I tested it on people in the field last night at fest and everyone said it gave them useful information they were going to try.

Voting closes at 12 noon today.

It might not look as pretty as some of the others, but it’s the outcome that is so important to me.

It’s you getting information that you need to help you sleep better.

It doesn’t matter on your age, try it out.

Please vote regardless.

When you click the link to vote, you need to scroll down to mine, Nicole Ratcliffe, and the link is there to test it.

I really hope you like the concept.
