Have you been wondering why your coaching program or online birth course isn't gaining traction like you know it deserves?

If you are ready to discover the simplest (and most stress-free) launch strategy possible, then get out a pen and paper, this episode is for you!

Every Friday, I answer your biggest questions right here on the podcast.

The 3 questions we answer in today’s episode are: 

• How do I share content without feeling like I’m just stealing another doula’s content?
• I've heard you mention on the podcast the importance of doing a pre-sale for an online course, and not recording anything until people sign up... because maybe no one signs up that first time... but what about if only one or 2 people sign up? Would you cancel and give them their money back?  Or should you just go ahead with the two students?
• I'm a sleep specialist and I hate that all my clients feel so pressured to have their babies sleep through the night. How do we help with that mindset shift and create less stress around infant sleep for moms?
