    Motherhood, Ambition, and Defining Success with Joan Lunden

    When I interviewed Joan Lunden live on stage in Baltimore a few months ago, I never expected our backstage conversation would lead to this podcast episode. As we chatted before taking the stage, I shared a bit about my work as a sleep consultant, my online sleep consultant certification program, and of course this podcast. To my surprise, she asked if she could be a guest. Needless to say, I didn't hesitate to say yes. Joan has spent decades in the public eye, but what I was most interested in wasn't her career highlights. I wanted to hear what it was really like to build an ambitious career while raising six children, long before there was much of a roadmap for working mothers. In this conversation, we talk about:• Navigating the judgment that often comes with making unconventional career choices• Why women shouldn't feel like they have to choose between meaningful work and motherhood• How Joan has defined success at different stages of her life and career• Why leading with service ultimately creates the greatest impact While Joan's career may have looked very different from ours, I think you'll find that many of the questions she wrestled with are the same ones women are still asking today. Is it okay to love motherhood and still want something that's just yours? Can you build a meaningful career without sacrificing your family? How do you define success when you're trying to balance it all? I hope you enjoy my conversation with Joan Lunden.

    Waiting Doesn't Make You Feel Ready with Sindy Warren

    One of the biggest mistakes I see aspiring entrepreneurs make is believing they need to have everything figured out before they begin. They want certainty before they invest in training. They want confidence before they put themselves out there. They want to know they'll be successful before they're willing to take the first step. The problem is...that's not how confidence works. Confidence doesn't come first. It comes after you've taken enough imperfect action to realize you're capable. Sindy Warren is a life and business coach who helps people navigate career transitions, build businesses, and step into new chapters with intention. In this conversation, we talk about why so many people get stuck waiting for the "right time," how to quiet the limiting beliefs that tell you you're not ready, and why following curiosity is often a much better strategy than chasing certainty. If you've been sitting on an idea, questioning whether you're ready, or waiting until you feel more confident before taking action, I think this conversation will give you the push you need. Sometimes the only way to find out what's possible is to take the next step.

    The Juggle is Real: Motherhood and Entrepreneurship with Sam Hirschel

    A lot of people assume that when you start a business, you need to be all in. You need a full workday. A quiet house. Reliable childcare. A clear schedule. But that's just not realistic for most. This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm joined by Sam Hirschel. Sam is the mom of a three-year-old and has built a thriving sleep consulting business while navigating school drop offs and pick ups, nap schedules, and all of the unpredictability that comes with raising a young child. One thing we discussed is how easy it is to convince yourself that you'll get started later. When the kids are older. When you have more time. When life settles down. The reality is that every season brings a new set of challenges. The goal isn't to wait for life to become easier. It's to figure out what is possible right now. In this conversation, we talk about setting boundaries with clients in order to protect family time, asking for help when you need it, and building a business in a way that actually works for your family. We also talk about something I know so many mothers can relate to: wanting something that belongs to you, while still being fully committed to your role as a parent. Whether you're thinking about becoming a sleep consultant or you're simply trying to balance work and motherhood, I think you'll see a little bit of yourself in Sam's story.

    Building a Successful Business with ADHD and Dyslexia with Vanessa Simpson

    This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm joined by Vanessa Simpson, founder of Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions. Vanessa openly shares what it's been like to build a successful business while navigating both ADHD and dyslexia, and the practical systems and mindset shifts that have helped her turn perceived obstacles into strengths. In this conversation, we talk about the routines, tools, and strategies she relies on to stay organized, why entrepreneurship can actually be a great fit for neurodivergent thinkers, and how she learned to stop focusing on what doesn't work and start building around what does. We also discuss the importance of trial and error, creating a business that fits your life instead of someone else's expectations, and why there is no single "right" way to attract clients or grow a successful sleep consulting practice. If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to build a business, I think you'll really appreciate Vanessa's perspective. This is a conversation about embracing your strengths, finding systems that work for you, and realizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to entrepreneurship.

    Serving First, Selling Second with Jenna Mazzillo

    When Jenna Mazzillo started sharing parenting content online, she wasn't trying to build a business. She simply wanted to help parents. Fast forward a few years, and she's built an audience of more than half a million followers, launched a successful parenting course, and recently left her career in education to pursue her business full time. In this week's episode, we talk about parenting, boundaries, business building, content creation, and why serving people at the highest level is often the best marketing strategy there is. We discuss the mindset shift that helped Jenna become comfortable selling her course, why providing massive value for free has become a core part of her business philosophy, and why showing up consistently matters more than waiting until you feel ready.  Whether you're a parent, sleep consultant, entrepreneur, or any combination of the three, this conversation is packed with practical advice and a refreshing reminder that the only way to succeed is to be humble enough to be new at something again.  Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abanaturallyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abanaturallyStan Store: https://stan.store/abanaturally If you’d like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultant CPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/ Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

    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.

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.

    Stop Waiting to Feel Ready with Anna Marcolin

    In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I sat down with therapist and life coach, Anna Marcolin, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to grow as an entrepreneur. We talk about the mindset required for business ownership, the courage required to put yourself out there before you feel fully ready, and why taking action matters so much more than endlessly consuming information and waiting for confidence to arrive first. This conversation is such a great reminder that confidence is built through action, repetition, failure, resilience, and continuing to show up even when it feels hard. There's so much value packed into this conversation for anyone who's building a business, navigating self-doubt, or trying to figure out how to keep moving forward without waiting to feel perfectly ready first.
