We’re back! Did you miss us? We are reconnecting after a summer break where Leah was recovering from major back surgery, a significant event that shifted not just her physical circumstances but profoundly affected her approach to both life and business.  Also, Annie reveals her previous mindset regarding health issues and the unrealistic standards she sets for herself, which led to detrimental consequences. The painful truth is that, too often, we delay seeking medical attention until our conditions require urgent action. “It’s so hard taking care of ourselves.” In this episode, we will cover: Reflections on recovery (2:24)Speaking up for yourself in healthcare situations (5:40)Taking time off as a business owner (12:29)What’s coming up for Lactation Business Coaching (16:07) 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!
