Becoming a Sleep Consultant with Jayne Havens Jayne Havens

Elizabeth Baron is a NY State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University’s Teachers College. Her primary clinical focus is maternal mental health – from preconception and pregnancy, through postpartum and parenting. Previously, she worked as a therapist at The Motherhood Center (TMC) of New York, where she developed her expertise in treating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. While at The Motherhood Center, she also served as the Community Partnerships lead and worked to educate new and expecting mothers and clinical providers on the importance of maternal mental health. Today she provides individual therapy in her private practice, moderates several support groups, and offers webinars and educational talks to several different brands across the parenting space. Deeply committed to destigmatizing maternal mental health issues, she is passionate about helping women through all stages of motherhood.
On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast Elizabeth and I discussed:- How we as sleep consultants can work to release some of the emotional load that we carry on behalf of our clients- That humanizing the experience of sleep and mothering in a more realistic frame for life leads to a more positive and successful experience for both parents and sleep consultants- The need for boundaries in our businesses. And that it’s ok to give ourselves grace if it feels difficult to set those boundaries in the very beginning. It takes time!

Sometimes we are our own biggest roadblocks on this journey through entrepreneurship. We have big ideas, we dream up big plans, but then our own self-doubt and fear of failure creeps in and we hold ourselves back.
I was chatting with a prospective CPSM student who expressed that her only hesitation in enrolling in the program is the business piece. She has never started her own business and that feels scary and overwhelming. She knows she will be great at supporting families, and she is passionate about healthy sleep habits for children, but what if she fails? Well, you can’t succeed if you don’t even try!
On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast I share:- That the irony around fear of failure is that if you are so afraid to fail that you don’t even try, then you failed before even getting started!- How we can relate these feelings we have as sleep consultants back to our clients. When our clients are finally ready to make a change, and try to teach their child to fall asleep in a new way, that’s when they can have a really meaningful transformation!- When you say yes to yourself, that’s the very first step on your new adventure. It’s sometimes scary, always thrilling, and entirely worth it!

Overwhelm can creep in whether you’re still deciding if you’re ready to become a sleep consultant, new to sleep consulting and trying to get your business off the ground, and even when you’re already running a well-established and successful business. Feeling overwhelmed affects us all no matter where we are in our lives or careers.Lately, I’ve been feeling super overwhelmed. For the past couple weeks, I’ve sat down to try and record this episode almost every day and each time I did, it just didn’t feel right. I finally decided it was time to push through the overwhelm and just do it!
