Description
Today we are chatting about the wild world of breastfeeding advice on social media. Let me tell you, it's a jungle out there! We were getting pretty frustrated with all the bogus info floating around and how hard it is to set the record straight for our clients. It's super important to seek out reliable sources of information and to be careful about how much you let social media influence your beliefs and decisions. That's why in this episode, we are stressing the importance of critical thinking and skepticism when we're bombarded with too much info. “Just follow the money and you will find where all this information, quote-unquote, is coming from.”In this episode, we will cover:Why social media influencers hold so much power on the decision your clients make (4:18)The importance of evidence-based information (12:29)Challenges of finding current updated information on Google (15:09)Understanding the level of evidence behind recommendations (17:31)Like this episode?

Even Lactation Consultants Need a Vacation: Lactation consultants are especially prone to burnout because our work is so intense. It can be hard to disconnect from your clients and from your business, but it’s essential to recognize the importance of taking regular breaks. In this episode of the Lactation Business Coaching Podcast, Leah and Annie offer practical steps to take when you’re prepping for your vacation. “Burnout affects the families that we’re caring for.” In this episode, we will cover: -Burnout is real. It’s just not physically or emotionally possible to work without taking regular breaks. -Our work is hard. We’re always thinking about our clients and it can be hard to turn that off. -Our clients’ problems can drain our energy. When situations are complex, or when we’re faced with the same kinds of issues over and over again, it can wear us out. -Scared that your business will die. Your private practice is not a shark, it doesn’t have to keep moving to live. -How to se by Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
