I promised that room full of Moms an army of the world&#8217;s most powerful and important people. This army has grown more than 5 fold since that day and we are as serious, passionate and strong as ever.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My mission is to empower Moms to connect to their instinctual voice; to question so-called &#8220;experts&#8221;; to challenge societal norms. I believe that when we peel back these layers we will all make the best decisions for our children. The decisions that are right for our individual families. This year I will take the stage again here in <a href=\"http:\/\/mommy-con.com\/event\/details\/423\/\">Chicago<\/a>. This time I will be expanding on this message and discussing the concept of authority. Authority is all around us. In every aspect of our lives. I have found this concept particularly disturbing when it comes to birth, breastfeeding and parenting. In my personal experience I have been undermined by &#8220;authority&#8221; in all of these areas. I have come to question the concept of authority in a major way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1384 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_4398-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Abby Theuring, The Badass Breastfeeder speaking at MommyCon\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_4398-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thebadassbreastfeeder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_4398-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Who really is the ultimate authority when it comes to our children?<\/p>\n<p>My sponsor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.milkin-cookies.com\/\">Milkin&#8217; Cookies<\/a> makes it possible for me to be with you on this day.
