She loved working with babies and families, but she wanted more flexibility, and the ability to work entirely from home.\nSo she got certified as a sleep consultant and got to work.\nFor Kari, that meant putting herself out there in ways that didn’t always feel natural or comfortable. She reached out to pediatricians and other perinatal professionals, booked meetings that made her nervous, and spent hours making connections and building relationships. She worked tirelessly to market herself before the referrals were coming in and trusted that the effort would eventually pay off.\nAnd it did.\nSomewhere along the way, Kari gained confidence in herself and in the value of the experience she already had. Tasks that once felt intimidating became easier simply because she kept doing them over and over again.\nIn this episode of Becoming a Sleep Consultant, we talk about what it took for Kari to turn the career she imagined into the career she can be proud of. She's ahead of schedule! \nLinks: \nWebsite: https://karipoppinz.com\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/karipoppinz_babysleepmagic/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/UMiTsgxIMlLq8R9ozVaVtofXs0-ZQsGIkXigdX4KGHQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI3NjQwLzE2NDI2/MTI5MjUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
