For both Katie Oshita and Rachelle Markham, being a neurodivergent business owner is part of life. Learning about sensory banks, tools, timers, apps and how to make life easier for themselves has been a learning process. Listen as they discuss some of what has, and what has not, helped them be more productive, and more regulated so that balance and success is part of their lives.
Podcast Guest: Rachelle Markham, owns and operates Wellness Lactation, in San Diego, CA where she helps new parents and families navigate their infant feeding journey. Rachelle has been working with families for over 27 years. Twenty of those years have been as an IBCLC. She has a passion for learning and keeping up to date with all things human lactation. This desire to “know-all-the-things” means she can frequently be found traveling to trainings or enrolled in multiple online classes. Last year she finished up a year long intensive program on Holistic Lactation, which allows her to help so many more families achieve their feeding goals.
When she doesn't have a client in front of her you’ll almost always find Rachelle with a giant iced black tea in hand, wearing something black, tending to her chickens and large garden, or planning her next adventure!
