Today's podcast is with a very special guest, my 9-year-old daughter Ivy. She decided completely on her own that she wanted to start a podcast… and then went ahead and figured out how to get it onto Spotify.

She did this without my help.

She did this without an online course.

She did this without overthinking it.

Ivy decided that she wanted to do it… and then she did.

And as I listened to her walk me through the process, one thing became very clear:

We tend to overcomplicate things as adults.

In this conversation, we discussed what it actually looked like for her to figure it out, including the frustrating moments, the trial and error, and the moments where she almost gave up… but didn’t.

And the takeaway is simple, but important:

If a 9-year-old can navigate something new, uncomfortable, and a little bit hard… so can you.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out before you start.

You just need to be willing to try, stay in it when it feels frustrating, and use the resources available to you.

Because more often than not, the only thing standing between you and the thing you want to do… is the decision to actually begin.

Enjoy!

Some people assume that what makes a great sleep consultant is having a medical background, or years of experience, or some kind of “perfect” personality for the job.
But that’s really not what I see.

The consultants who go on to do really well in this work are the ones who are genuinely excited about it. They’re passionate. They’re interested. They want to learn. They feel called to support families who are in the thick of it, because they understand how hard it can be.

I had a call like this just recently with someone interested in becoming a sleep consultant. She’s currently being supported by a sleep consultant herself, and her experience has been so transformative that she immediately started thinking, “I want to do this for other families.”

For her, this isn’t about building a big business. She’s not getting into this for the money. She just lit up talking about the prospect of learning and being able to help moms.

By the time I finished recording this podcast, she had already enrolled in CPSM, and I cannot wait for her to get started.

This could be you too.

What are you waiting for?

Everyone wants a successful business, but not everyone is willing to do what it takes to actually build one.

In this episode, I share a story about my kids, but it really speaks to something I see all the time with people who are thinking about becoming sleep consultants.

It’s easy to look at someone else’s success and want the end result. It’s much harder to accept what it takes to get there.

There has to be a phase where you are figuring things out, finding your voice, and putting yourself out there before you feel ready. You have to be willing to do things over and over again before things start to click.

Most people don’t fail because they can’t do it. They stop because it feels uncomfortable, or it's taking longer than they expected.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a sleep consultant, ask yourself this honestly… are you willing to start before you feel ready, and keep going even when it feels hard?

The consultants you’re looking up to did not achieve success overnight. They put in the time, the effort, and the work. I can guarantee that there was a certain level of grit and persistence at play. You can absolutely build what they have built, but you have to get started, and you have to keep going.

There is a lot of pressure in the online space to sound right.

To say things perfectly. To figure out the exact words that will land, connect, and convert.

But what if finding your voice isn’t about getting it right… it’s about using it?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Rachel Lubchansky for a conversation about what it really looks like to find your voice in your business, and why this is something that evolves over time.

We talk about the internal shifts, the external noise, and the process of learning to trust yourself as you show up and communicate with your audience.

Because the goal isn’t to sound like someone else.

The goal is to sound like you.

I hope you enjoy this conversation!

If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” before starting something new, this episode is going to challenge that thought.

Today I’m joined by Stella, a full-time corporate professional, mom of two, and certified sleep consultant through Center for Pediatric Sleep Management. Stella is just five months into her business and she’s already supported 20 families.

Stella didn’t wait for everything to be perfect before getting started. She took action, figured things out as she went, and put herself out there even when it felt uncomfortable.

In this conversation, we talk about how she landed her first clients, how she’s using social media in a way that actually works for her, and what it looks like to move through imposter syndrome instead of letting it hold her back.

Stella shares honestly what it looks like to juggle a full-time job, two young kids, and a growing brand new business.

If you’re on the fence, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to get started. You just need to begin.

Every once in a while I get to record an episode that feels especially meaningful, and this conversation is one of them.

Today on the podcast I’m talking with Sam, someone I’ve actually known since we were babies. Life has a funny way of bringing things full circle. Years after reconnecting during her pregnancy, Sam found herself searching for something that would give her purpose beyond the day to day of raising a toddler. That search ultimately led her to become a certified sleep consultant through CPSM.

What I love about Sam’s story is how real it is. She didn’t launch with a polished website or a big marketing plan. In fact, she still doesn’t have a website. She signed her first client, supported that family really well, and referrals naturally followed. Today she’s working with multiple families at a time, building her business around her busy life as a new mom.

In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to start a sleep consulting business in real life: the fears that come with becoming an entrepreneur, the learning curve that happens in the early months, the importance of boundaries, and how meaningful it is to find work that truly lights you up.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to build something for yourself while still prioritizing your family, Sam’s story is a really powerful example of what that can look like.
And if you’re someone who has been sitting on the fence, feeling excited about this work but also scared to start, I think you’ll find her perspective especially encouraging.

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.
