Episode 139: From Mom to Mompreneur: How To Balance Business and Motherhood Insights from Sarah Kallile
Hey Mamas!
In our latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Sarah Kallile, a mom to three girls under 4 and the founder of Lunnie, a community-led brand that redefines postpartum as pretty and powerful. Through her journey, she discovered how motherhood can be a remarkable superpower for entrepreneurship. In this episode, we delve deeper into Sarah Kallile's inspiring story and the lessons she learned along the way.
For many women, the word "ambition" can carry a negative connotation, particularly when it comes to being a mother. However, Sarah Kallile discovered that pursuing her passions and building a business not only kept her fulfilled as an individual but also made her a better mother. By embracing her entrepreneurial spirit, she found a balance that allowed her to thrive both personally and professionally.
The timing of Sarah Kallile's business idea couldn't have been more challenging. She was a stay-at-home mom to her two young daughters, facing the isolation of the pandemic and navigating the emotional roller coaster of postpartum life. Yet, those circumstances sparked the idea of creating Lunnie as a community-led brand, driven by her desire for meaningful interactions with fellow moms.
As a mom of three young children and a business owner, Sarah Kallile became a master at prioritization, efficiency, and committing to decisions. Motherhood provided her with a unique perspective and forced her to put her priorities in check. Juggling the responsibilities of running a business while caring for her growing family, she learned to make the most of her time and resources.
Despite the physical challenges she faced during her third pregnancy, Sarah Kallile remained dedicated to her mission. She launched Lunnie in March 2022, won a major pitch competition and a $50k grant, filed for patents, and even gave birth to her third daughter, all within four months. Her unwavering commitment to her vision exemplifies the incredible strength and resilience of mompreneurs.
Running a business while being a mom to three little girls is undoubtedly chaotic, but Sarah Kallile has embraced the chaos and found a sense of fulfillment within it. Her Lunnie bras experienced high demand, leading to a period of being completely sold out. However, it allowed her to take a well-timed maternity leave and restock in the fall. She continues to navigate the delicate balance between entrepreneurship and motherhood, finding beauty and growth in the midst of the chaos.
Sarah Kallile's story is a testament to the power of motherhood as a business superpower. Through her journey, she discovered the strength, motivation, and perspective that motherhood brings to her entrepreneurial endeavors. By pursuing her passions, embracing challenges, and balancing her roles as a mother and an entrepreneur, she exemplifies how it's possible to find fulfillment and create a meaningful legacy.
