Candy Baracat-Donovan is one half of Like A Sister, founded alongside her real life sister, Tiffany Miller. They use their backgrounds - Certified Lactation Counselor (Candy), trained postpartum doula (Tiffany) and new parent educators (both of them) to support new and expecting families of all kinds and they learn how to make the right choices for their unique family. We believe everyone needs a "sister" by their side to offer evidence-based information, non-judgmental and inclusive support as they learn how to parent. Our services are offered virtually, and we support clients around the world. Candy also consults with political campaigns, candidates and activists about how to use communication tools - especially social media - to create social change.

Candy and Erin discuss how to get involved in political activism, especially as busy moms.
