Annie and Leah have more listener questions in this episode of the Lactation Business Coaching podcast. 

From what’s in their home consult bags to running an office visit when you don’t have all the time in the world, they’ll share what works and what doesn’t in their own private practices. And if you’re a new IBCLC wondering if you’re ready to launch your practice, they’ve got some special words just for you.

“You can’t do this on your own, you need other people and other people need you”

In this episode, we will cover:

• What’s in your bag? Leah and Annie literally unpack their consult
• bags
• Time’s up: In the office, families have less time, so Leah has to be
• super-efficient to make the most of it.
• New in town: Leaping into private practice can feel intimidating when
• you feel like you know less than the other IBCLCs in your area.
• Building a community is the best remedy for professional insecurity.
