Hospital IBCLC Safe… or Private Practice IBCLC Powerful?

If you’re becoming an IBCLC and you think your only option is working in a hospital, we need to talk.

In this episode, I break down the real differences between working as a hospital lactation consultant and building a private lactation practice. I’m talking schedule control, income potential, autonomy, burnout, leadership, and what your day-to-day actually feels like.

This conversation is especially for nurses, doulas, and breastfeeding advocates who want more than just another job. If you’re exploring the IBCLC pathway and wondering what your future could really look like, this episode will challenge you to think bigger.
