In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Emily, a recent graduate of the CPSM program and a thriving new sleep consultant. Emily shares her journey from enrolling in CPSM in April 2024 to launching her consulting business just three months later.

We discuss her transition into entrepreneurship, how she balances her family life and part-time work as a physical therapist while also growing her business, and the strategies she’s putting into place in order to grow her list of referral partners and clientele. Emily is passionate about changing the narrative around sleep training and in this conversation you’ll hear Emily share how this mission is driving her work with families.
Highlights of our conversation include:

• Emily’s motivation to become a sleep consultant and why she chose CPSM
• The challenges and rewards of stepping into business ownership.
• Balancing family, work, and business growth.
• The power of building community relationships.
• Her mission to transform the way families think about infant sleep and sleep training.
• Emily’s vision for the future of her sleep consulting business.

When I asked the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Facebook community for ideas about what I could share on the podcast, people came out of the woodworks to request that I share more client success stories. This recent story is a good one! I was hired by a mom who was 37 weeks pregnant and already had a two year old and four year old at home. The two year old slept great but the four year old was really having a hard time. Bedtime was taking an hour or two before she would finally settle, and then she was coming into her parents’ room to sleep at some point overnight. Mom was nervous that with a new baby coming, their four year old’s sleep would be disrupted if she was sleeping on the floor of their room with the baby also sharing that space. Nothing like a time crunch to solve a sleep struggle! We got to work right away and had almost immediate success. The parents were fully on board with the process and our teamwork went a long way. I hope you enjoy this story!

In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, we dive into the transformative power of "putting yourself in the right room." I recorded this episode from my hotel room while attending the Birthworker Retreat in Clearwater, Florida, where a community of doulas and sleep consultants, including graduates from the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management (CPSM), came together to inspire and learn from one another. Discover why surrounding yourself with like-minded professionals is essential for personal and professional growth, and how the CPSM community can be the perfect place for aspiring and established sleep consultants to thrive.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• What it means to "put yourself in the right room."
• How the Birthworker Retreat exemplifies the power of professional communities.
• Practical tips for finding spaces and communities that align with your goals.

Why This Episode Matters: Success isn’t just about what you know; it’s about who you know and who you surround yourself with. This episode will motivate you to seek out opportunities, events, and communities that challenge and inspire you to grow. If you’re considering becoming a sleep consultant, you’ll gain insight into why CPSM might just be the "right room" for you.
