On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by The Doula Darcy, a business coach who specializes in supporting both doulas and sleep consultants.
This conversation is all about PEOPLE SKILLS, something that often gets overlooked when we talk about building a business.

In such a human-centered profession—where trust, empathy, and communication are at the core—how you connect with others can make or break your business. Whether you're talking to a tired parent, handling a tough conversation, or simply showing up online, the way you engage with people really matters.

Darcy shares incredible insight into how bringing your full self into your business—your warmth, your emotional intelligence, your ability to truly listen—can help you grow in a way that feels authentic and aligned.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to “sell” your services, or you’re wondering what makes someone stand out in this space, this episode is for you.

Strategic planning might sound like something reserved for big businesses, but it’s actually one of the most powerful tools a solopreneur or sleep consultant can use to grow with intention. In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast, I am chatting with business consultant Chrissy Mellinger to understand what exactly is strategic planning, and how can we apply this concept to our sleep consulting businesses without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll also learn a super simple framework to get started—and how to actually make time for it, even with a busy and hectic schedule.

Whether you're just getting started or feeling ready to level up, this episode will help you build a more focused, and sustainable business.

In this week’s episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m recording from my car—proof that sometimes the best time to record is when inspiration strikes.

As I was driving to my weekly tennis lesson, I realized I didn’t have an episode planned for next week, and yet skipping it wasn’t an option. I’ve committed to showing up on this podcast every single Tuesday because consistency is something I deeply value—not just in podcasting, but in business and in life.

This episode is a reminder that:
- You don’t need ideal circumstances to make progress
- Consistency is what separates those who struggle from those who thrive
- Confidence comes through practice—not perfection
- Building a business means deciding to show up, even when it’s inconvenient

Whether you’re already a sleep consultant or considering becoming one, this episode will encourage you to think about how you’re showing up in your own business—and what might change if you fully committed.
