Each month, Annie and I take a deeper dive into topics and information with an expert to give us more insights on things that we might be incorporating in our clinical practice as well as entrepreneurs and business owners. We're bringing you this snippet today to give you a taste of what these deeper dives are all about.

Our first Deeper Dive with Rachel O'Brien, lactation consultant and blogger extraordinaire, was a fan favorite, so Annie and Leah with Lactation Business Coaching asked her back! This hour is packed with insights from her successful private practice.

Rachel runs her private practice in Massachusetts. She became an IBCLC in 2015 after completing her Masters degree in lactation, during which she wrote her dissertation on low milk supply. Rachel was a full-time working, breastfeeding and pumping mom for all three of her children and now specializes in low supply, bottle refusal and bottle feeding problems, working parents, and LGBTQ+ families.

While many IBCLCs were scrambling to take their consultations virtual at the onset of the pandemic, Rachel was probably sitting having a cup of coffee. Thanks to her wildly popular blog - a favorite of both families and lactation professionals - she had been servicing virtual visits with blog readers from across the world for a few years.

Rachel's signature style of humor laced with pragmatic compassion and guilt-free support resonates. Don't miss the opportunity to glean some awesome tips and strategies to running your private practice.

Each month we host a live Deeper Dive so you can connect with us, our special guests, and each other + get lifetime access to the recording!
