A little sneak peek from yesterday's shoot with Laura at Sleepy Sweet Pea.There's so many gorgeous images, it was so hard to pick one to share. So why have I picked this one?I work at understanding your brand and what you help your clients with. As a sleep coach, Laura is helping parents get time back when their little ones learn to sleep better.I love this image of her just enjoying a relaxing moment, just like she gives her clients.I find my marketing background really helpful when working with brands. I like to drill down to the essence of what you offer your clients, what problem you help them solve.Here's a couple more examples:- a massage therapist isn't offering a massage, they're offering freedom from pain or a moment of relaxation in a hectic life- a gardener isn't offering a mowed lawn and tidy plants, they're offering beautiful outdoor space to relax in or socialise with friendsWhen you drill down to it, what problem are you solving for you clients? Please tell me in the comments.

It was the night before the Florida bar exam, 2/20/2023 and around 9:30 I turned in to get a solid night of sleep. I was staying at a hotel in downtown Tampa. As I was about to fall asleep, I kept being awakened by the traffic outside. I was on the first floor, and the constant sounds of vehicles passing by the busy intersection permeated my hotel room. Motorcycles, horns honking, car music blaring, it would not let up. I tried to switch rooms, but the hotel was at capacity. Tried ear plugs, sound machine, white noise from my cell phone, but nothing was working. At about 11:45 I was still wide awake, and getting desperate. It sounds dramatic in hindsight, but at the time my thoughts were that I didn’t come this far only to fail the bar because I couldn’t get sleep. I surveyed my hotel room and realized that the bathroom walls in my room were thick enough to provide some insulation from the noise outside. So I took action: I picked up my mattress, folded it and shoved it inside the bathroom. And slept on it in the bathroom like a baby. Fast forward to the next day: I ended up doing so well on the first day of the exam, that I kept the same sleeping arrangement the next night. I’m sure I could have found another hotel, but I didn’t want to spend energy making phone calls and hunting around. I figured if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Lessons from this story: -Fear of failure can be a great motivator. My fear of not performing well on the exam was what propelled me to action and to find an out of the box solution to my sleep problem. -Lawyers have to be resilient. Clients will come to you with difficult problems and incomplete information. You have to push through the uncomfortable and learn to thrive in uncertainty, and make decisions with the resources you have. -Never stay on the first floor of a hotel in downtown Tampa.

Training to become a baby and child sleep consultants was the best thing I have ever done.Never have I had a job/career that has been so fulfilling, a job where daily I make a difference to families lives.There are so many sleep deprived babies, children and parents out there that are looking for help. Two or three years ago it wasn't really seen as the done thing to get help when you baby/child wasn't sleeping but I believe that is all changing, and the world is going to need a whole load of certified sleep consultants.If becoming a baby and child sleep consultant sounds like it could be for you, DM me, book a free no pressure call or head to my website for more details.#sleepconsultanttraining #sleeptherpaisttraining #becomeasleepexpert #sleepexperts #sleephelp #sleepconsultantcourse #howtochangeyourcareer #learntoloveyourjob #lovewhatyoudo #changinglives

An old friend and I sat up late one New Year's Eve, sober, pondering, reflecting, chatting ... and we concluded that life, everything goes better when you are not tense, when you are relaxed in mind and body. This is a piece I wrote a while ago and in my teaching and coaching I find that most people struggle with relaxing. It doesn't mean lying in a hammock - although it could; we unwind and relax in different ways, and when we find it difficult there are techniques to help, some of which I have mentioned in this blog. #stressawareness #resting #relaxing #resilience

This Sleeptember... These are our three top tips for encouraging restful sleep 💤1️⃣Avoid electronic devices at least an hour before bed, as mobiles, tablets and computers all throw out blue light that can interfere with sleep.2️⃣Anxiety, worry and stress can affect how well we sleep. Luckily, there are things you can do daily to help manage your worries, like talking to someone you trust or writing in a notebook about your concerns. If you often lie awake worrying, set aside time before bed to make a to-do list for the next day – this can be a good way to put your mind at rest.3️⃣It's generally easier to drop off when it's quiet, dark and cool – although the right sleep environment is personal, so try different things and see what works for you.#sleepwell #sleeptips #sleepbetter #caregiver #carer
