Hey Entreprenistas! It’s Stephanie here and we are featuring some of our favorite conversations throughout the month of December to help inspire and educate you with what you really need to know to grow your businesses all 2024. This week on Startups in Stilettos, we’re talking to founders in our Entreprenistas community who really went from newborn to new business. In today’s episode, we first jump into a conversation with Pam Pekerman, Founder of “Hustle Like A Mom”, as she shares how motherhood inspired her to pivot her career and start an interview series that later evolved into a larger business venture. After that, we hear from Jodi Klaristenfeld, creator of FLRRiSH, a support community for families of premature babies and children with special needs. Jodi talks about her own experiences with a premature child and the challenges of navigating the healthcare system, which led to the creation of her business. And then finally, we sit down with Marnie Madras, Founder of Rumbly, a subscription box service focused on pregnant women. She discusses how her positive pregnancy experience shaped her desire to build a company that helps support women through their pregnancy journey, gifting them an overall more positive transition into motherhood. So join us! As we say goodbye to 2023 and step into 2024, we’re gifting you inspiring stories of resilience and innovation packed with actionable insight to fuel your entrepreneurial spirit.
