Episodes
  • 94 | Scheduling Tetris
    Jan 14 2025





    Today we are diving into the crazy world of scheduling. From juggling multiple locations to dealing with holiday madness, we are sharing our secrets and survival tactics.


    Leah explains her scheduling system, which involves multiple providers and locations, and the crucial role that her administrative assistant, Amanda, plays in orchestrating the chaos (and why she should get a raise).


    Annie explains how she navigates the nuances of handling interns and a recently expanded office schedule by implementing a more automated system to minimize the back-and-forth with her clients.


    There isn’t a one-size-fits all solution to scheduling but we hope hearing how we handle scheduling will help you with recreating your own.


    “When it feels crazy stressful and I'm like, we're never going to figure this out. I always just tell myself it always works out.”


    In this episode, we will cover:

    • Managing complicated schedules (2:19)
    • The impotence of having clear communication with your team (6:08)
    • Creating waitlists to help with meeting client needs (12:05)
    • Handling cancellations (25:17)



    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!

  • 93 | Good Enough is Good Enough
    Dec 24 2024





    It’s the New year and with that comes making resolutions but this year we are not excited about it.


    The idea of setting goals has become daunting. Plus we usually don’t keep them anyway. It’s time to take a more intentional approach and remember that good enough is good enough.


    Listen in as we set a goal to not put so much pressure on ourselves and just realize that we are doing the best we can (just like everyone else).


    ”We don't want to bog ourselves down so much that we forget to enjoy what we're actually doing.”


    In this episode, we will cover:

    • Setting intentions for the New Year (5:01)
    • Battling perfectionism in goal setting (13:02)
    • Navigating expectations (17:51)
    • Accepting that good enough is ok in 2025 (20:28)

  • 92 | We Keep Getting Older Somehow
    Nov 12 2024





    Bring some tissues to this episode because we are talking about not only us getting older but also our kids.


    We candidly share our experiences of growing older while still relating to a client base primarily entrenched in the childbearing years. We reflect on how our experiences differ profoundly from those of our clients and how that fosters a need for empathy, understanding, and adaptation in our approach.


    We also dive into the nostalgia of reflecting on previous parenting stages and discuss the sentimental emotions that arise as our children transition into adulthood. Our goal is for you to embrace the joys and challenges of parenting at every stage.



    “Even though we're getting older, there are still so many amazing pieces of being a lactation consultant, and it helps us stay connected to our little ones when they were little. It really is the weirdest job, like find me a job that's weirder.”


    In this episode, we will cover:

    • The joy of working with babies and how it reminds us of when our children were little (6:43)
    • Learning from your experiences to help your clients (10:08)
    • The importance of empathy (16:42)
    • Balancing nostalgia and reality (19:22)


    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!
