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.

Building a Business Your Own Way with Andrea Hurley

What if the thing holding you back in business isn’t a lack of knowledge, but the fact that you keep waiting until you feel “ready”?In this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m talking with CPSM graduate Andrea Hurley about what happened when she stopped overthinking, started to trust herself, and she decided to take action.Andrea shares how she went from feeling burned out as a nanny to building a growing sleep consulting business in a way that actually fits her life.

We Can Do Hard Things with Ivy Havens

Today's podcast is with a very special guest, my 9-year-old daughter Ivy. She decided completely on her own that she wanted to start a podcast… and then went ahead and figured out how to get it onto Spotify.She did this without my help.She did this without an online course.She did this without overthinking it.Ivy decided that she wanted to do it… and then she did.And as I listened to her walk me through the process, one thing became very clear:We tend to overcomplicate things as adults.In this conversation, we discussed what it actually looked like for her to figure it out, including the frustrating moments, the trial and error, and the moments where she almost gave up… but didn’t.And the takeaway is simple, but important:If a 9-year-old can navigate something new, uncomfortable, and a little bit hard… so can you.This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out before you start.You just need to be willing to try, stay in it when it feels frustrating, and use the resources available to you.Because more often than not, the only thing standing between you and the thing you want to do… is the decision to actually begin.Enjoy!Links: Ivy's Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3FSPsvCO2Cr1kYRvDQ5Ves?si=29df84e40b234502If you’d like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM 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

Always Lead with Passion with Jayne Havens

Some people assume that what makes a great sleep consultant is having a medical background, or years of experience, or some kind of “perfect” personality for the job.But that’s really not what I see.The consultants who go on to do really well in this work are the ones who are genuinely excited about it. They’re passionate. They’re interested. They want to learn. They feel called to support families who are in the thick of it, because they understand how hard it can be.I had a call like this just recently with someone interested in becoming a sleep consultant. She’s currently being supported by a sleep consultant herself, and her experience has been so transformative that she immediately started thinking, “I want to do this for other families.”For her, this isn’t about building a big business. She’s not getting into this for the money. She just lit up talking about the prospect of learning and being able to help moms.By the time I finished recording this podcast, she had already enrolled in CPSM, and I cannot wait for her to get started.This could be you too.What are you waiting for?If you’d like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM 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
