Moms Making Money Marli Klaus

Hey there, fellow moms and listeners! It's Marli Klaus here, and I'm absolutely thrilled to share with you the very first episode of the Moms Making Money podcast. This episode is all about breaking free from the 9 to 5 grind and finding financial and time freedom through the world of sleep consulting.
I dive into my personal journey from being a corporate hustler to becoming a certified pediatric sleep consultant and entrepreneur. I talk about the struggles I faced, feeling stuck in a high-paying job that left me unfulfilled and missing out on precious moments with my family. I share the pivotal moment when I realized that I was meant for more and my discovery of sleep consulting as a career.
I also discuss the various attempts I made to find my passion, from MLM businesses to career coaching, and how none of them felt right until I stumbled upon sleep consulting. I emphasize the importance of passion in running a successful business and how it has transformed not only my life but the lives of the families I've helped.
In this episode, I aim to inspire you to consider whether sleep consulting could be the path to creating the life you dream of—one where you have the flexibility to prioritize what's important to you and the financial freedom to grow beyond the limits of a traditional job.
So, if you're feeling stuck, looking for a change, or simply curious about adding a new skill set to your resume, this podcast is for you. I'm here to show you that there is another way, and it's possible to find happiness, fulfillment, and success on your own terms.

In this episode, I shared my personal journey from a corporate hustler to a thriving sleep entrepreneur. I'm a mom of three, and I know firsthand the struggles of balancing work and family life. That's why I'm passionate about guiding other women to financial and time freedom through sleep consulting.

In our latest episode, we tackled the common fear many women face when considering starting their own business, especially if they've never done it before. I shared my personal journey from being a corporate hustler to a thriving sleep entrepreneur, aiming to inspire you to take that leap of faith into sleep consulting.
We discussed how the skills you've honed managing a household are transferable to running a business.

In this episode we tackled a topic that's on many of our minds: investment. Specifically, we dove into the world of becoming a certified sleep consultant and what that means for your wallet, your time, and ultimately, your life.
We started off by acknowledging a truth many of us face – as moms, we often put ourselves last. But here's the thing, investing in ourselves, especially when it comes to our careers and passions, isn't just okay, it's necessary. We can't pour from an empty cup, and when we're fulfilled, everyone around us benefits.
In this episode, I got real about the fears and hesitations that come with making a significant investment in a certification program. I shared my own journey from corporate life to sleep entrepreneur and how that leap of faith has paid off in more ways than one. We talked about the importance of ROI – return on investment – and how it's not just about the financial aspect but also the emotional and lifestyle gains.
I also peeled back the curtain on why becoming a certified sleep consultant comes with a price tag. It's not just about the cost of the program; it's about the value you receive in return. From one-on-one mentorship to lifetime access to resources and support, the investment is designed to set you up for success.
So, if you're sitting there, dreaming about a life where you have the flexibility to pick up your kids early from school, plan vacations without financial stress, and truly enjoy your work, then this episode is a must-listen. It's time to stop watching the clock tick by and start taking steps toward the life you've always wanted.
