From TV reporter to mompreneur
I never thought I would do anything else but report the news. If you would have told me I was going to design nursing clothes for breastfeeding, I would have never believed you!
The last 9 years has been quite the experience. The news biz has taken me to Nebraska, Arizona, Florida and Tennessee.
I have stories that could entertain you for hours. I could tell you about my extremely mortifying mistakes on live TV, the gruesome crime scenes, the wildfires, the tornadoes, or my favorite story inside a maximum security prison.
I even got to play a "reporter" on the ABC show Nashville. I lucked out because the show wanted "real" reporters and I worked for the ABC affiliate in Nashville!
It was an amazing experience, and I got to tell incredible stories, but now I’m pursuing another dream: owning my own business while having more time to stay home with my son.
As a nursing mom, I wanted to see better options for nursing clothes - especially cute, flowy styles that you could toss in the washer and dryer.
I thought it would be easy. I thought I would find some fabric, hire a pattern maker, and start production! Well, that process lasted nearly two years!
It's been a long road, but it's been so fun! I've loved learning about something completely different, but my favorite part has been meeting other moms.
It's an absolute HONOR to support breastfeeding moms. Breastfeeding is amazing, but it's also hard! So, if somehow this makes someone's life easier, or makes one mom feel better about herself - that would be more gratifying than anything else I've done!
