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.

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!

When I asked the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Facebook community for ideas about what I could share on the podcast, people came out of the woodworks to request that I share more client success stories. This recent story is a good one! I was hired by a mom who was 37 weeks pregnant and already had a two year old and four year old at home. The two year old slept great but the four year old was really having a hard time. Bedtime was taking an hour or two before she would finally settle, and then she was coming into her parents' room to sleep at some point overnight. Mom was nervous that with a new baby coming, their four year old's sleep would be disrupted if she was sleeping on the floor of their room with the baby also sharing that space. Nothing like a time crunch to solve a sleep struggle! We got to work right away and had almost immediate success. The parents were fully on board with the process and our teamwork went a long way. I hope you enjoy this story!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

Brittany is a mom of two, a dedicated nurse practitioner specializing in pulmonary and sleep, and a certified pediatric sleep consultant through CPSM. Her interest in baby sleep took root six years ago with the birth of her son, but it wasn't until her daughter arrived three years later that she fully immersed herself in understanding infant sleep. Both of Brittany's children struggled with sleep early on, which led her to spend countless hours figuring out effective sleep strategies. Brittany's talent for improving sleep became clear as friends began seeking her advice with their own babies. Often, she would think, "I should really find a way to make a business out of this." In February 2024, Brittany decided to take her passion to the next level by enrolling in Center for Pediatric Sleep Management's sleep consultant certification program. She officially launched her sleep consulting business in March 2024 and hasn't looked back since. On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast Brittany shares: - What it's like for her to grow a successful sleep consulting business while working full time and simultaneously raising two young children. - How she leverages her medical credentials to stand out in the field - The work she is doing to attract her ideal client so her business can work for her! Links: Website: https://www.goodnightnursebh.com/ https://www.instagram.com/brittany_sleepconsultant/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
