19 | Pinky McKay, Entrepreneur, Author, & Breastfeeding Expert - how parenting intuition and leading from the heart led to the success of Pinky and her brands

Launch Mama Podcast

Today I am joined by Mama, Pinky McKay. Pinky is one of Australia’s most recognised and respected breastfeeding experts. She’s an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), best-selling author of four titles including ‘Parenting By Heart’ and ‘Sleeping Like a Baby’, Founder of Boobie Foods, Podcast Host of her popular series 'Tits Up', and spokesperson. Pinky specialises in gentle parenting styles that honour mothers’ natural instincts to respond to their babies.

Pinky’s work is inspired by her passion to see ‘every mother with a baby in her arms and a smile on her face.’ She says, “support is essential for all new mothers to thrive, to reach their breastfeeding goals and for families to enjoy a gentle, connected beginning.”

Pinky’s ‘get real’, no-nonsense approach, along with a blend of humour, sharp wit and wisdom, makes her an expert source for national publications and major network TV. Her real-world experience stems from being the mother of five and grandmother of four.

Pinky has spoken across Australia, New Zealand and the United states and has presented a popular Tedx talk, ‘Surrender is Not a Dirty Word’. Her reach extends worldwide through her books, podcast, e-programs, blogs and highly engaged facebook and instagram pages.

On this episode we talk about Pinky's career journey to-date, her personal breastfeeding and parenting experiences, and how following her passion led to the empire she is renowned for today.
