Welcome to Founding Mothers, the podcast about the intersection of motherhood and the founder experience.

From preschool drop-offs to college goodbyes. And strategy sessions. Reheating coffee in the microwave. And leadership meetings. Dance parties in the kitchen. And late nights. Negotiations before bed. And early mornings.

Founding demands persistence. Motherhood demands presence. Founding Mothers choose both every single day. Now, we get to hear their stories.

Join me weekly for candid conversations with powerful women who are building companies and raising families, at the same time.
