Welcome to The Sleep Consultant Blueprint podcast, where we unveil the secrets to breaking free from the 9-to-5 grind and making a meaningful impact from the comfort of your home as a pediatric sleep consultant. In this podcast, you’ll gain insights from inspiring women who’ve navigated this same journey, providing you with the knowledge and inspiration to create your own success story.
How to Become a Sleep Consultant in 90 Days…and Start Getting Paid
In this video, I’m breaking down the real path from curious about sleep consulting to certified, confident, and earning.
You’ll learn what happens inside the 90-day timeline, what to look for in a sleep consultant certification program, how training works, how you get real client experience, and how new sleep consultants can start landing their first paying clients.
We’ll talk about what certification should include, why business training matters just as much as sleep education, how volunteer clients help you build confidence, and how earning $2K–$4K per month can translate to just 4–8 clients per month.
If you’re a teacher, mom, or woman looking for a flexible business helping families transform their sleep, this video will show you what the path can look like.

From Teacher of the Year to Sleep Consultant: Courtney’s Story
Courtney Foley was a seven-year teacher, a district-wide Teacher of the Year finalist, and by every measure - successful. But behind the awards and the smile, she was stuck. And the moment she looked into her newborn daughter's eyes, she knew something had to change.
In this episode, Courtney shares how she went from crying in her car on the way back from maternity leave to booking her first paying sleep consulting client four days after her last day in the classroom - before she even officially graduated from The Cradle Coach Academy.
We talk about the identity shift of leaving a career that felt like her whole personality, how she fit a certification program into one of the hardest seasons of her life, the math she and her husband did that made leaving feel less terrifying, and what she would say to every teacher sitting in her car right now dreading going back.
This one is going to hit home for a lot of you.
In this episode we cover:
Why Courtney felt stuck even at the height of her teaching career
The moment she had her daughter and knew she couldn't go back
How she found sleep consulting after asking ChatGPT every possible version of "what can teachers do"
The personal text that made her pull her credit card out of another program and enroll in TCCA
How her husband went from "is this a scam" to "book it, let's run it"
Making the decision to leave teaching before earning a single dollar
How she completed the program while working full time, moving houses, nursing a baby, and navigating some really hard personal moments
The ching ching moment — booking her first paying client and jumping on the bed with her husband
Her goals for the next year and how she's already thinking about passive income and scaling
What she would say to the teacher who feels trapped and doesn't know there's a way out
Courtney's first words after booking her first client: "I thought it was going to work, but now I'm at the point where I see the fruits of all my labor."

Leaving Teaching? What to Do When You Still Love Teaching But Hate the Classroom
Are you done with the classroom but have no idea what comes next?
If you still love teaching but can't survive another year of micromanagement, admin pressure, school politics, and planning your entire life around a school calendar — this video is for you.
The truth is, you don't hate teaching. You hate the conditions. And that's an important distinction, because it means you don't have to start over. You just need a different path.
In this video we're covering:
What you're actually trying to leave (and why naming it changes everything)
The transferable skills you have that are worth far more than your district salary
Why sleep consulting has become one of the most natural career transitions for former teachers
How former teachers are building $2K–$4K months working around their families, not instead of them
Meet Michelle — a 10-year high school teacher who left the classroom in 2025, brought her son home part-time, picks her daughter up from school every day at 3pm, and has made more every single month as a sleep consultant than she ever did on a teacher's salary. Working way fewer hours.
You are not stuck just because teaching is the only career you've ever known. Your skills are real, they are transferable, and they are worth so much more than summers off.
