Podcaster Q&A
Tell us about yourself – what is your background?
I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a passion for helping ALL people feel great about the way they feed their babies. I help people in person and virtually to ease their feeding anxiety and to make sense of their human milk feeding journeys. I live in a log cabin on 5 acres with my husband, my 2 kids, my dog and 2 cats.
Why did you get into podcasting?
I heard from so many people that they felt guilt about they way the way they fed their babies, or that they needed to defend their choices once they learned about my profession. I wanted to create a place that explored the structural inequities that lead to difficult baby feeding that so many people blame themselves for.
How did the idea for the show come about?
The idea came about through my own love of podcasts (I'm obsessed!) and an obvious need for discussions like these.
What do you hope listeners take from the show?
I hope they learn that their struggles are not their fault and their triumphs really are the miracles they feel they are. I hope they learn some evidence based care that will reduce their struggles. I hope that lactation professionals and other listeners who are perinatal supporters will learn how to more compassionately care for those who are lactating.
What's been the biggest challenge for you?
Time, time, time! Not enough of it! There is so much to do and so little time! From recording, to editing, to producing to marketing in addition to running my business- it takes so much time! But it's time I enjoy. My numbers have grown consistently each month, so that is encouraging.
How can your listeners support your show?
They can share the show with people who could benefit! They can rate and review it! They can join my Milk Making Community Group on Facebook. I am looking for a well-aligned sponsor of the show, so if they know anyone, send them my way!
Any future plans that you'd like to share?
I would love to have some amazing guests like Serena Williams to share their baby feeding stories!
Anything else you'd like to share?
I'm so happy to have this platform and I welcome anyone who would like to share their baby feeding stories-- no matter how long ago it was and how it ended up to reach out to me!
