About this listen

What does it really look like to go from aspiring lactation consultant to IBCLC?

In this episode, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Leslie Owens shares two major milestones: the graduation of new Community Breastfeeding Counselors through her IBLCE recognized peer support organization, and the announcement of the very first IBCLC to complete the Lactation Consultant Launchpad program.

Leslie breaks down what starting the IBCLC journey actually looks like, how Pathway 1 works in real life, and why confidence comes from action, not waiting until you feel “ready.” She also explains the IBCLC exam timeline, including how often the exam is offered.

If you’re a doula, birth worker, nurse, or breastfeeding advocate considering becoming an IBCLC, this episode offers real-world insight, encouragement, and proof of what’s possible when you take the first step.
