In this bonus episode, we dive deep into the topic of imposter syndrome and share our own fears and anxieties surrounding it.

Oh boy, do we know how tough it can be for lactation consultants!

The expectations and pressures can be sky-high. And let's not forget about the impact imposter syndrome can have on our professional growth and confidence. It's a real bummer, but don't worry, we've got some great advice coming your way.

“When you're connected and things are flowing out of you, that is your true self, that is you showing up as who you authentically are.”

In this episode, we will cover:

What exactly is imposter syndrome (2:55)
How your gender and race also impact imposter syndrome (7:45)
The high expectations we put on ourselves (20:33)
The pressure to prove your value (25:37)

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!
