Listen Later

In this rebroadcast episode, have you ever said I’m a terrible lactation consultant?


We have!


It doesn't matter how long you have been in your private practice, we all have those moments that make us feel like we don’t know what we are doing.


We want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way so, in this episode, we are sharing what makes us feel like terrible lactation consultants and tips on how we deal with those negative thoughts.


“Everything that happens in your life, that seems to be a challenge or a mistake or feels like you’re a terrible lactation consultant, could possibly be something that we need to learn.”


In this episode, we will cover:

  • The challenging parts of being a lactation consultant (9:33)
  • How to challenge your negative thoughts (11:23)
  • The value of learning from your mistakes (19:08)
  • Why you should treat yourself like one of your clients (26:50)
