When we talk about sleep consulting, we often focus on helping babies and toddlers sleep through the night, but in reality, we’re coaching parents through mindset shifts, confidence building, and new routines that can feel both exciting and intimidating at the same time.In this week’s episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I’m joined by Sarah, a former client who came to me wanting a very gradual and parent-present approach. She was feeling cautious about making changes, and wanted to be sure her baby always felt supported and secure.What unfolded was a powerful example of how blending empathy with accountability can lead to massive results. We simplified the process, made small yet sustainable changes, and celebrated every win along the way. Within two weeks, her baby was sleeping independently, and Sarah felt calm, confident, and proud of what we had accomplished together.Links:
