https://evolvelactationcircle-d4073296.circle.so/evolve

In this solo episode, Christine introduces Evolve Lactation Circle, a new private working space built for lactation professionals. She talks through the isolation so many people in this field feel, why resource libraries alone haven't been enough, and what she's building instead: a space centered on connection, direct access, and honest conversation.

In this episode:

Why lactation career coaching keeps surfacing the same questions, year after year

The difference between clinical continuing education and the professional development support that's missing from it

What's changed in the field recently — insurance reimbursement shifts, licensing questions, and the expanding scope of infant feeding work

Why Christine built this as a private, distraction-free space instead of on social media

What's actually inside: the First 100 Hours framework, the Blind Spots exercises, a developing Practice Philosophy, live Conversations, Co-Working sessions, and 1:1 access

Why vulnerability and honesty among professionals matters as much as clinical skill
