If you could give one tip to fellow Mom Entrepreneurs what would it be?
Be Afraid Big – take the risk. We spend so much of our lives in fear, we might as well be afraid big or do it on our own terms.
One thing people would be surprised to know about you…
Our family has a pet pot belly pig named Oliver who lives inside, is house trained and loves Jack Johnson music.
How has this community been instrumental in getting you to where you are now?
It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to sustain the village itself. Morris Bernards Moms, and their sister sites are a critical part of our village and we are grateful.
