9: Small Business Breakthroughs with Hometown Lactation's Founder

In this episode, Ashley opens up about her journey from nursing in various specialties to finding her calling in lactation consulting, an area that's blossomed in our community. We'll dive into the world of breastfeeding support, exploring the challenges, such as tongue ties and torticollis, that mothers face, and the significant impact personalized care can have on their breastfeeding success.

While celebrating Ashley's entrepreneurial spirit, we also take a sobering look at the darker side of social media for small businesses. I get candid about my personal experience with a Facebook hacking nightmare that wreaked havoc on my own business presence and share the lessons learned about cybersecurity, password protection, and the unexpected hurdles of running a small business.

Moreover, Ashley and I discuss the delicate art of work-life balance, the wisdom in seeking help with business taxes, the importance of having a presence like Google My Business, and the seasonal ebb and flow common to businesses.

So whether you're a mom seeking breastfeeding support or a small business owner navigating the choppy waters of entrepreneurship, grab your headphones, and let's get ready to learn, grow, and maybe even shed a tear or two. This is Small Business Bestie, episode 9.
