So I walked into an investor's office when I was four months pregnant and I was raising money for the first time.

Granted, I had been a venture capitalist before and I knew I had a fantastic network.

I still had a hard time raising money.

Walked into this guy's office and he said, you can start a family or a business, but there's no way you're going to do both.

And I was shocked, but I also used that as fuel and motivation to build this business into a nine-figure business fairly quickly, raise three kids and continue to raise three kids, and just really show that you can build something that you're deeply passionate about that has an impact on the world and

while you're also building your family.

And I think these things are so intertwined when you're trying to solve problems for women.

We call our customer the chief help officer.

She's making a lot of the purchase decisions for her household.

And I know her because I am her.

And so many decisions that I've made as a CEO stem from being a mom and having gone through some of the challenges myself.

More recently,

you know, we're on the heels of actually announcing our postnatal clinical results.

When I was thinking about creating a postnatal, which is something you take after you've given birth, people were telling me also that that was something that was a small market.

Why are you getting into that?

And when you look at the scientific studies, we saw that that's actually the area, that's

have the, you know, the lowest nutrition and have the highest demands nutritionally.

Why aren't we building something in this space?

And that led us to create a product in that space.

And now we're releasing a study actually showing the impact that nutrition and postnatal vitamins have on the quality of human breast milk.
