I'm so excited to talk to Candice J. and Candice E. from Goldilacts today!

Our chat was so amazing and in-depth that we talked for TWO HOURS!

Since we chatted so long, I decided to split the interview into several episodes!

GoldiLacts Lactation Consulting provides breastfeeding education, private in-home lactation consultation, and postpartum support services to the greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas. They also offer virtual lactation consultation worldwide and will be adding Infant Massage to our services list in 2019!

At GoldiLacts, they are moms first and foremost. They've been there. They believe the best place to start when it comes to caring for a newborn baby is to ensure that the Mama Bear is being cared for first. Their goal is for each new mom to feel comfortable in the new skin of her breastfeeding body, feel empowered in her personal choice to breastfeed, and feel as though she has received compassionate and non-judgmental care throughout her postpartum journey.

FB LIVE: Do You Feel Overwhelmed in Motherhood? Listen To This When You're In The THICK Of It! Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

This is a FB Live so you may hear me say viewers names and reply to comments.

Today I'm chatting about being in the thick of motherhood and supporting one another through that!

So many times I hear "You're going to miss this" and "It's just a phase" but when you're in the THICK OF IT it can be difficult think that way and even frustrating when people tell you these things.

Sometimes we don't even need advice. We just need someone to listen. We just need a supportive environment.
