How to Advocate for Change Like a Mom with Michele Lampach
Manage episode 489055650 series 3362878
Becoming a mom changes you in ways you never expect. For Michele Lampach, it ignited a passion to fight for better support for parents. As a human rights attorney, nonprofit leader, and mom of two, Michele has spent her career advocating for vulnerable communities. Now, as the head of Bobbie for Change, she’s working to shift the conversation around infant feeding and modern parenthood—pushing for better policies that actually support families.
In this episode, Michele opens up about her own journey into motherhood, giving birth during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the struggles of balancing work, exhaustion, and the pressure to do it all. She shares how those experiences shaped her advocacy, why every parent’s feeding journey deserves respect, and how judgment-free support can change everything.
