24. Breastfeeding Meets Business w/ Lactation Consultant Amy Tanzillo

You guys, this conversation is so ENERGIZING. Amy Tanzillo is a force to be reckoned with.

Amy is a mom of three, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and the CEO and founder of Thrive Breastfeeding and a straight boss!

Amy transitioned from a corporate career to being a stay-at-home mom, and eventually turned her side hustle into a successful career as a lactation consultant. Faced with major life changes and the global pandemic, Amy knew she needed to provide well for
herself and her kids. Her passion for helping people led her to lactation
consulting, a path that allows her to support moms, babies, and families while
giving her the freedom to be present for her own family.

In today’s conversation, Amy and I discuss the vital need for postpartum support services like lactation and sleep coaching, the evolving societal norms surrounding
breastfeeding, and the challenges of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship.

We also explore the importance of knowing your worth,
particularly in the maternal services industry where women often undercharge
for their work. Additionally, we touch on the unique mental load that moms
carry (#momguilt), and more.

Amy brings big sister vibes to her lactation support, making her the perfect ally if you're
experiencing breastfeeding challenges or want to prepare confidently for your
postpartum journey. She has ambitious goals for her business and is doing
incredible work in her industry. I’m excited for you to hear this candid chat
about the importance of support, mindset, and resilience in motherhood and
business!
