On today’s episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I am joined by Allison Henderson, business coach and social media strategist who specializes in helping sleep consultants grow their client base both locally and online. She blends practical strategy with mindset and energetic growth practices, helping her clients build sustainable businesses and, for many, replace their corporate income.

As we wrap up 2025 and look ahead to 2026, we focused this conversation on goal setting and intention setting for service-based business owners. We talked about where to start when goals feel overwhelming, how to think about money without guilt, and why clarity and consistency matter more than chasing every strategy you see online.

This episode is especially relevant for sleep consultants who are wanting their goals to support both their income and their lifestyle. Alison shares practical ways to turn intentions into action, stay focused on what actually works, and tune out the noise that can lead to comparison and burnout.

If you’re heading into the new year thinking about how you want your business and your life to feel, you’re going to love this conversation!

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Deb Pocica, a postpartum doula who added sleep consulting to her business and saw an immediate shift in the way she could support families.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why sleep consulting is the perfect complement to postpartum care
• How sustainable systems can prevent burnout for doulas and sleep consultants
• What expanding your services can mean for both your income and your energy

The truth is, postpartum care often ends right when families need continued guidance the most. Sleep consulting fills that gap. It extends support beyond the newborn phase, strengthens relationships, and positions you as a long term resource instead of a short term solution.

If you are a doula or newborn care specialist thinking about how to grow, diversify, or prevent burnout in your business… this episode will give you a lot to think about.

Are you spending more time thinking about success than actually taking action? In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I dive into why overthinking keeps you stuck and how saying yes to yourself is the hardest but most important step. Once you take that leap, it gets easier, it becomes fun, and you start growing.

Listen in, decide to take action, and watch your confidence (and business!) transform.

With each year in business, I’m reminded that flexibility is the most meaningful return on investment.

This week on the podcast, I’m reflecting on the quieter parts of entrepreneurship — the moments that don’t make the highlight reel, but absolutely shape the way I live and work.

The ability to shift my schedule when life calls for it…

To be present for my family without sacrificing momentum…

To rest when my body needs it…

And to run a thriving business from anywhere.

These are the freedoms I’m most grateful for — and they’re the reason I built my business the way I did.

Inside this episode, I'm sharing:
• What true flexibility looks like as an entrepreneur
• How to build a business that bends around your life
• The small, everyday moments that matter most
• And real stories of CPSM grads who have created this same freedom for themselves

If you’re craving more control over your time, your energy, or your day-to-day life… I hope this episode gives you the encouragement you need to go after it.

In this week’s episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, we’re diving into a topic that so many entrepreneurs, parents, and busy people struggle with. How do you manage your time well, stay productive, and avoid burnout? I invited time management and productivity coach Ronna Belinky to join me because this is something that comes up again and again in our community.

Ronna specializes in helping people build simple, sustainable systems so they can manage their days with more intention and less stress. She focuses on awareness, habits, and clarity rather than trying to cram more into an already full schedule. Her approach is all about creating routines that support your life instead of adding pressure to it.

In our conversation, we talk about where to begin when everything feels important, how to create systems that actually work for you, and what it looks like to build your business in a way that feels steady and sustainable. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure how to prioritize, this episode will give you clarity and a practical path forward.

On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast, I’m joined by Doula Darcy, who helps birth and postpartum professionals build sustainable, freedom-filled businesses they truly love.

I was inspired to record this conversation with Darcy after I came across a post she shared online that said:“Being a doula is heart-centered work, but it shouldn’t cost you your health, family time, or financial stability.”

That message stopped me in my tracks because I see it all the time — doulas who adore their work but are exhausted by the long hours and the unpredictable on-call lifestyle.

In this conversation, Darcy explains why the traditional, in-person-only model just isn’t sustainable long term, and how her Hybrid Doula Business Model is helping doulas earn more, work less, and find balance again.

We discussed:

✨ Why only taking in-person clients can lead to burnout
✨ How sleep consulting fits perfectly into the hybrid business model for doulas
✨ The mindset shifts needed to create more freedom and stability
✨ Darcy’s best advice for doulas who want to make a change

If you’ve been looking for a way to continue supporting families while creating a bit more balance and freedom in your work, you’ll really enjoy this episode.

• What inspired her to begin mentoring other consultants
• How she is continuing to expand her reach and impact

When we talk about sleep consulting, we often focus on helping babies and toddlers sleep through the night, but in reality, we’re coaching parents through mindset shifts, confidence building, and new routines that can feel both exciting and intimidating at the same time.

In this week’s episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Sarah, a former client who came to me wanting a very gradual and parent-present approach. She was feeling cautious about making changes, and wanted to be sure her baby always felt supported and secure.

What unfolded was a powerful example of how blending empathy with accountability can lead to massive results. We simplified the process, made small yet sustainable changes, and celebrated every win along the way. Within two weeks, her baby was sleeping independently, and Sarah felt calm, confident, and proud of what we had accomplished together.

About a year ago, I sat down with my son, Sid, to record one of the most loved episodes of this podcast. We talked about what it’s like to have a mom who’s a sleep consultant, and people couldn’t get enough of it! So, we decided to do it again.

A lot can change in a year. Sid is now 13, a little older and a lot funnier, and I’ve grown another year in my business. Together, we thought it would be fun to revisit the conversation and share how life has evolved for both of us.

In this episode, Sid shares his perspective on what it’s like having a mom who works from home, how my flexible schedule impacts our family life, and some of the perks (and quirks) that come along with having a sleep consultant mom. We also talk about travel, freedom, and what it really means to build a business that allows me to show up as both a mom and an entrepreneur.

If you’ve ever wondered what this career looks like from a family’s point of view, or you’re thinking about becoming a sleep consultant yourself, this conversation will give you an honest, lighthearted peek behind the curtain.
