EP 14: How to Get your Baby to Sleep (and build a following) with Alexis Dubief

 

{No one is successful by themselves.} It takes a village. And I found my village and I'm super grateful because possibly the 100,000 people we've helped on the facebook group, that would have never have happened if it was just me. 2930

When I learned I was having a child one of my biggest fears was, "How am I going to handle everything when I'm exhausted?" Then, by chance, a friend recommended Alexis' blog Precious Little Sleep and everything changed. Make no mistake, the first few weeks were hard, but they were also more doable because I felt I had a road map, a wise guide, and a strong sense of what was normal. After I survived those first few weeks I knew I had to have Alexis on the podcast. My interview with Alexis was so wonderful. She's so full of energy and incredibly down to earth. In this episode we talk about:

• How and why she started her blog Precious Little Sleep
• Her forthcoming audio book and how it helped her overcome imposter syndrome
• The perils of vocal fry
• How her blog developed out of problems she was trying to solve for herself
• The problem with sleep schedules
• The insidious nature of "parental judgement"
• The question you have to ask when building a platform
• Her 20/80 rule of making content
• The struggles of transitioning to into parenthood
• Why she recommends Smart Passive Income and CopyBlogger for building your niche

PS If you're open to suggestions you'll want to start with this blog post of hers. It's one of my favorites. And if you enjoyed the episode check out this one with another blogger/influencer
