What if your biggest parenting struggle could become your most successful business?

For Leanne Low, founder of Sleepy Baba, that's exactly what happened. After returning to work with a baby who wouldn't sleep, she was drowning in exhaustion and stress. Fast forward eight years, and she's built a thriving sleep coaching business helping hundreds of families reclaim their nights—and their lives.

But here's what makes her story even more compelling: Leanne spent 12 years in corporate project management before taking the leap into full-time entrepreneurship. Her journey is packed with lessons every mompreneur needs to hear, from debunking the myths that held her back to learning the hard way what not to do when scaling a service-based business.

The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything

Like many working moms, Leanne thought she just had to push through the exhaustion. But when sleep training transformed her son's sleep (and her entire life), she had an epiphany: if this could help her family this much, how many other parents were suffering unnecessarily?

The transformation was profound enough that Leanne invested in expensive certification during the pandemic, driven by a mission rather than just a business opportunity.

"My husband and I decided to sleep train him and that really changed our life. I even had time to do more work after he went back to sleep and started a new hobby," Leanne shares in our latest MomBoss Academy interview.

Breaking Through the Taboo: What Sleep Training Really Is (And Isn't)

Here's where it gets interesting and where Leanne's expertise becomes invaluable.

Sleep training is still considered taboo in many Asian communities, surrounded by myths that make parents feel guilty for even considering it. In the full interview, Leanne dismantles these misconceptions one by one, explaining the surprising truth behind what sleep training actually involves.

Spoiler alert: It's not what you think. And it's definitely not about ignoring your baby's needs.

One of the most eye-opening moments? When Leanne explains the difference between a baby's need to be "helped to sleep" versus their need to learn how to sleep. This distinction is at the core of why some families struggle for years while others find relief in weeks.

The Business Side: Lessons Every Service-Based Mompreneur Needs

While Leanne's sleep coaching expertise is impressive, her entrepreneurial journey is equally valuable for any mom building a business.

After building Sleepy Baba as a side hustle for two years, she made the transition to full-time entrepreneur. But the path wasn't smooth. In fact, she made one costly mistake that many service providers make when scaling and it nearly killed her profit margins.

The turning point?

While Leann is in our In-Demand Accelerator Program, she learned that the "corporate way" of doing things doesn't always work in a lean startup. Our system has helped her saved her both time and money, and she credits it as "the number one thing that has changed" in her business.

From One-on-One to Scalable Impact

One of the smartest pivots Leanne made was recognising a critical barrier: not every family could afford personalised coaching. Her solution? Creating a comprehensive video program that serves multiple age groups and adapts as babies grow.

But here's the part that showcases her mission-driven approach:

"I don't want cost to be the thing that stops people from having a better quality of life and better relationships with their children."

This mindset shift from service provider to scalable educator is exactly what transforms a side hustle into a sustainable business with real impact.

The Advice Every Exhausted Mom and Aspiring Mompreneur Needs to Hear

At the end of our interview, Leanne drops two powerful pieces of wisdom:

For tired parents: Asking for help isn't weakness. It's what allows you to actually enjoy this fleeting time with your children instead of surviving it in a fog of exhaustion.

For aspiring mompreneurs: Her perspective on risk will challenge everything you think about leaving corporate life. She reframes the "worst case scenario" in a way that might just give you the courage to take that leap.
