====''The ChickPeeps'' podcast==== In November 2017, Lynch founded the podcast ''The ChickPeeps'', co-hosted by ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' actor Robbie Jarvis, Surfers Against Sewage representative Momoko Hill, and Protego Foundation founder Tylor Starr. Its content is based on veganism and features discussions on diverse topics, often joined by prominent activists such as Ingrid Newkirk, Earthling Ed, and Victoria Moran, among many others.<ref name="Pocock 2019"/> Lynch started ''The ChickPeeps'' with the intention of running "a bit more vulnerable and human [vegan podcast] that feels like you're hanging out with friends... where we have a laugh, maybe we learn some things, maybe we ask some questions".<ref name="O'Connor 2019"/>
====Kinder Beauty Box==== In November 2018, Lynch co-founded, along with American actress Daniella Monet, the vegan and cruelty-free make-up and beauty care box Kinder Beauty Box.<ref name="McLaughlin 2018">{{cite web |date=19 November 2018 |access-date=8 December 2025 |url=https://vegnews.com/harry-potter-and-nickelodeon-stars-launch-new-vegan-beauty-box |website=VegNews |title=Harry Potter and Nickelodeon Stars Launch New Vegan Beauty Box |first=Sarah |last=McLaughlin |archive-date=19 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181119124902/https://vegnews.com/2018/11/harry-potter-and-nickelodeon-stars-launch-new-vegan-beauty-box |url-status=live}}</ref> The subscription box, which started its monthly delivery in January 2019, was intended to "put ethical brands in the spotlight" and "overcome confusing jargon" used by big brands that test on animals. Kinder Beauty Box was conceived after Lynch and Monet discussed the difficulty they had looking for vegan beauty products.<ref name="Pocock 2019"/> The products are curated by them, shipped in sustainable packaging and a portion of the sales goes to animal rights and environmental causes and benefits for vegan rights.<ref name="McLaughlin 2018"/>
====''Just Beings'' podcast==== In August 2022, Lynch teamed up with psychologist and author, Dr. Melanie Joy, to launch a podcast called ''Just Beings''. On the show, Lynch and Joy examine the common psychology that drives all harmful and unjust behaviours. Through conversations with changemakers, they explore how people can shift their thinking to create a more compassionate and just world for people, animals, and the planet — and improve their personal lives and relationships in the process.<ref name="Meet the Hosts"/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-beings/id1640039683 |title=Just Beings on Apple Podcasts |date=4 October 2022}}</ref>
=== J.K. Rowling's comments about trans people === When J.K. Rowling posted a series of tweets on Twitter about the transgender community starting in 2020, she received significant criticism, including from most ''Harry Potter'' cast members.<ref>{{Cite web |date=11 June 2020 |title=J.K. Rowling Says She'd 'Happily' Take Prison Time Rather Than Use a Trans Person's Correct Pronouns |url=https://www.glamour.com/story/a-complete-breakdown-of-the-jk-rowling-transgender-comments-controversy |access-date=22 January 2024 |website=Glamour |language=en-US}}</ref> In response, Lynch tweeted "it's irresponsible to discuss such a delicate topic" on social media, and "I wish [Rowling] wouldn't. That said, as a friend and admirer of Jo I can't forget what a generous and loving person she is." After posting these tweets and receiving blowback for supporting Rowling, Lynch deleted her Twitter account in 2020. In an interview with ''The Telegraph'' in 2023, Lynch stated compassion for both sides of the argument, "I know what it was like to be a teenager who hated my body so much I wanted to crawl out of my skin, so I have great compassion for trans people and I don't want to add to their pain. I do also think it's important that J.K. Rowling has been amplifying the voices of de-transitioners." Lynch stated the backlash against Rowling has surprised her, "I just felt that [Rowling's] character has always been to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society. The problem is that there's a disagreement over who's the most vulnerable. I do wish people would just give her more grace and listen to her."<ref name="Sharf 2023"/>

In a 2014 interview, she mentioned her devout Catholic upbringing. "I stopped going to Mass a few years ago, mainly because I disagree with the rules," she said.
