Meet Joselyn Hernandez | Mother, teacher, and lactation consultant

We had the good fortune of connecting with Joselyn Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joselyn, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
What truly inspires me is helping other mothers. I know what it’s like to to be in their shoes. I also experienced what it is like to not be able to give the best nutrients to my baby through my breasts. I went through it alone with no knowledge of how hard breastfeeding truly it. Once I was able to conquer those struggles and make my goal… all I wanted to do next is help other mamas around the world that are feeling sad, desperate, angry, and alone in their breastfeeding journey. Seeing many results and helping mothers turn their struggles into a wonderful successful breastfeeding journey is what inspires me the most.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Josie’s Milky Goodies is a lactation baked-goods business designed to help lactating mothers increase their breastmilk supply. Our goodies are all custom made for our mamas and are all dairy-free. Best part of it is that we also offer vegan friendly options for our vegan mamas. Although our goodies are designed for breastfeeding mothers, they are also great nutritional snacks for everyone else in the family such as dads, kids, grandparents, etc. Our herbs inside our ingredients contain many nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B6, iron, fiber, omega-3, protein, and so much more! All of our mamas can reach out for tips and advice on breastfeeding from a mother who was once in their shoes and now a lactation consult with years of experience in helping lactating mothers. Starting this business was not easy since I had absolutely no experience in owning a business let alone starting one. But I too a risk and started it through social media. My best advice in starting a business is patient and motivation. Do not give up, sometimes you will not get the results you hoped for but if you keep working hard for it… it will eventually happen!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
South Florida is known for their fun exciting sites. A week long girls vacation for me would look like heading up probably to a large amusement park such as Disney World because what kind of gal doesn’t live Disney? We would spend 2-3 days at the parks enjoying different rides and themes of the park. Feeling like a child again is something we all deserve to feel from time to time. After those fun days, we would drive back down south to miami and spend it near the beach. Because Miami Beach’s are the most beautiful beaches. Eat and drink all the tacos and mojitos we would like without stressing or worrying about husbands and kids. Ending the girls vacation with a spa day such has facial, mani, pedi, and massages. We would be ready to conquer the world and go back to our supermom life.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband has been my number one fan. He has supported every decision I’ve made. It was his idea for me to use my skills and share them in helping other moms.
