Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by underestimated founders, especially moms, building businesses in the margins of real life. No funding, no safety net, just grit and resourcefulness. I’ve lived that path, rebuilding after losing a major sales channel and starting again from near zero. That experience drives me to create products and systems that actually help founders grow without burning out or overcomplicating everything.

How do you stay motivated?

I don’t rely on motivation, I rely on systems. Clear priorities, simple processes, built in rest, and visual management keep me moving even when life is abject chaos. With three kids, two companies, and a happy marriage, waiting to “feel motivated” isn’t an option. I focus on small, consistent actions that compound over time and I build my businesses to support real life, not compete with it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use it to accelerate distribution and partnerships; specifically expanding MilkWorx into new markets and piloting donor support kits with milk banks. A portion would go towards legal support for an active white-label opportunity internationally, while the rest fuels customer acquisition for Our Warehouse. The goal isn’t just growth, it’s building scalable, profitable channels that support more families and founders long term.
