This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Yvonne for a very real conversation about entrepreneurship.

We’re talking about the emotional rollercoaster. The slow months. The self-doubt. The awkward networking. The behind-the-scenes work no one sees.

We also talk about what happens when you stay the course. How confidence grows through action. How preparation pays off. How small, consistent efforts eventually turn into real momentum.

This episode isn’t about overnight success. It’s about grit. It’s about doing it afraid. It’s about preparing like a professional even when you don’t fully feel like one yet.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to build a sleep consulting business from the ground up, this conversation will give you an honest and encouraging look inside.

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Molly, a former nurse and women’s health professional who is just months into her journey as a certified sleep consultant and already building some real momentum.

In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to move from “I’m thinking about it” to actually getting started. Molly shares about pushing through imposter syndrome, finding the courage to put herself out there, and learning to believe in the value she brings to families. We also dig into the mindset behind early business growth and the personal growth that happens when you begin to believe in the possibility of your own success.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or unsure whether you’re ready to get started, this episode will remind you that confidence is built in motion and that you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Phyllis, a former teacher, school social worker, daycare owner, and mom of four who is now building a thriving sleep consulting business.

Phyllis shares what it’s looked like to start over professionally, how she leaned on decades of experience with children and families, and what she’s learned in her first year of business. We talk about the steep learning curve of entrepreneurship and how she’s grown by leaning into her strengths instead of forcing herself to market like everyone else.

You’ll hear how she’s built her business largely through in-person connections, local partnerships, and referrals, and why that approach has worked so well for her. It’s a really encouraging example of how experience, warmth, and consistency can carry you far in this work.

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, we are talking about something that does not get discussed nearly enough in our field, and that is the emotional side of coaching families through sleep.

Supporting parents through sleep challenges is not just about wake windows and schedules. It is about holding space for big feelings, uncertainty, exhaustion, and sometimes even grief and anxiety. And as sleep consultants, we have to learn how to stay steady in the middle of all of that.

I am joined by CPSM grad Ali Manning, a pediatric sleep consultant who specializes in gradual and parent present approaches for families who feel nervous about sleep training. Ali shares how her own journey into sleep consulting shaped the way she supports parents today, and how her coaching style has evolved over the past three years in business.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of “sturdy coaching.” We talk about what it really means to hold space for parents’ emotions without absorbing them, how to avoid jumping in to fix every feeling, and why our confidence and calm presence can make all the difference for the families we serve.

Ali also opens up about the learning curve she experienced early on, the moments that pushed her to grow, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop taking client struggles personally. If you have ever felt emotionally drained by your work with families or questioned whether you are doing enough, this conversation will feel both validating and grounding.

Whether you are brand new to sleep consulting or years into your business, this episode is a powerful reminder that being a great coach is not about eliminating discomfort. It is about learning how to remain confident and sturdy while guiding families through it.

Today’s episode is all about what it means to get a strong start.

So often, I see people finish their training and feel like they need to pause. They wait to feel more confident, more experienced, or more “ready” before putting themselves out there. But momentum doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from taking action.

My guest today is Alyssa, a recent graduate of the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management who took that idea seriously from the very beginning. She moved forward with intention, focused on progress over perfection, and built early momentum in her business.

In this conversation, we’re talking about the mindset required to start strong, the moves she made to create traction early on, and why believing in what you’re building matters just as much as the strategy behind it.

If you’re at the beginning of your journey or wondering how to kick your business into high gear, this episode will give you a lot to think about.

In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m digging into a topic I see come up constantly in professional communities and Facebook groups: how to build a career that allows for real work-life balance.

I share how I’ve approached my career with the belief that feeling stuck is never the end of the story, why I walked away from a demanding role once it no longer aligned with motherhood, and how building a business around my life changed everything.

In this episode, I explore:
• Why feeling stuck is often about comfort, not lack of options
• What it really looks like to design work around your life instead of the other way around
• How choosing flexibility and autonomy changed the way I work, parent, and live my life.
