About this Episode

There are some unique challenges to navigating both parenthood and a career in the legal profession, especially when it comes to breastfeeding and taking the bar exam. For this energetic, vital conversation Amy sat down with Amanda Fisher, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California Irvine, and Jamie Szal, a tax attorney who calls Maine home, just like Amy. Both of these women are members of Mothers Esquire and they are passionate about changing the world for mothers in the field of law. They covered everything from breastfeeding, to what it was like for Amanda to take the bar exam while pregnant, to Jamie pumping in the middle of the Supreme Court, and their "Pump Up the Bar" campaign. This episode feels especially relevant right now, and if you tune in to find out the name of Jamie's pump, you'll see why.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and as always, if you want to continue the conversation please join us over on the pumpspotting app.
