If the thought of selling makes your stomach flip, this episode is for you. Marli breaks down why being “sales-phobic” doesn’t disqualify you from becoming a successful sleep consultant — it actually makes you uniquely qualified. Instead of sleazy scripts or pressure tactics, you’ll hear how to approach sales as genuine service, build relationships with exhausted parents, and feel confident charging for the transformation you provide.

Marli shares real stories from Cradle Coach Academy grads and clients that show how heart-led, service-first women can build thriving sleep consulting businesses without a traditional sales background.
