This isn’t just another blog about breastfeeding.

This Substack is built to strengthen the connections between the practice of lactation support and the rest of the universe of health and well-being.

More than 20 years of lactation care in multiple settings and from multiple vantage points has lit up some insights for me, and I share them here, along with ideas, inspiration, and resources that are designed to help you grow in your lactation career.

Feelings of isolation, frustration, and that sense of working uphill - these are all too common in our space. Join me here for the boost you need to keep going - the Notes app in my phone is bursting with ideas to share with you and ways that we can work together to share what is important about breastfeeding, human milk, and the practice of lactation care.

Thank you for reading Evolve Lactation. This post is public so feel free to share it widely!

A laptop, a notebook, and a microphone; I can do a lot with these tools. Oh, and my dogs, my iced tea, and the overwhelming support and love of my family - yep, that’s me in a nutshell. Join me on my unconventional journey as a lactation consultant!

When you choose a paid subscription, that doesn’t only put dollars in my family’s pocket. I am a small business, so everything counts in my family’s budget - time, money, energy, and everything else.

But here’s what else I’ve learned: when you subscribe to my work, your participation in my beautiful digital magazine here on Substack engages a part of my brain that drives me to share what I know, what I think, and what I hope.

Though I may (frequently) share about issues that are frustrating, difficult, uncomfortable, etc., my ultimate purpose is to leave you with hope.

I learned a long time ago that a complaint without a solution is just whining. I promise not to drag you down and leave you there.

Come for the conversation about lactation in the modern world, and stay for the sense of community and collaboration with a dash of inspiration☺️
