Customer Reviews
I love it here!
The amount of time, dedication, and effort put into this platform is just *chefs kiss* Erika makes the lactation profession seem more attainable by. The podcast embodies the heart of lactation by providing resources and support from voices representing every pathway to lactation. If you are in the field or want to be, this is the place to start! You’ll love it here too!
A must listen!
I’m so grateful to have found this podcast, I am really inspired by hearing so many different black women leveling up in their lactation businesses. It has been a difficult journey for me as well just starting out as an independent lactation counselor, but it is so refreshing to know that I am not the only one that has gone through the “whindy”roads trying to be heard, and get my brand out there trying to reach and help more families. This podcast is needed!
Inspiring, motivating
I love how down to earth the host and all the guests are even while they share their inspiring life journeys and accomplishments. I am finishing my Pathway 2 hours and it’s been a long journey to this point…. however I leave each episode feeling like I can do this. Plus the guests give helpful tips and real life insights into the path to and daily life of an IBCLC.
