Becoming Exceptional in the Lactation Field
This isn’t just another blog about breastfeeding.
Being exceptional means that we are strengthening the connections between the practice of lactation support and the rest of the universe of health and well-being.
We are collectively working to change mainstream perceptions about what breastfeeding is and what it means.
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.
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.
Here’s what else I’ve learned: when you subscribe to my work, having you alongside me engages a part of my brain that drives me to keep sharing what I know, what I think, and what I envision for the future of lactation care.
Though I may bring up issues or topics around lactation that are frustrating, difficult, or uncomfortable, my ultimate purpose is to leave you with hope and a positive takeaway.
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☺️
