In Good Company

I've always found incredible comrade with women - never more so than as a mother. I've heard it said that there is a great divide between mothers who work and mothers who stay at home. I have never found that. What I have found is that what unites us is much more important than what separates us.

Pregnancy, child birth and motherhood is beyond transformative. There may be subtle differences in dreams, fears, anxieties, joy, exhaustion, triumphs, challenges and laughter but the love is universal. At Bump we really feel incredibly fortunate to be a small part in a woman's journey into motherhood.

As mothers and small business owners, we face a lot similar retail and entrepreneurial challenges as our small business comrades do. We have almost been in business for 3 years and are at another point when we need to make another professional leap of faith - that of growth.

We sat down yesterday with Amy and Adelaide who are the founders of In Good Company a truly wonderful resource for women business owners. They have the most beautiful space on 23rd Street that is a physical space for women to meet, work, share ideas and grow.

For an hour and a half they encouraged and inspired us, provided valuable insight and acumen, and provided not only a valuable third party point of view but gave us the confidence to move forward.

So after 1 unfortunate false start and a lot of reflection, yesterday we got our call to action and will be launching phase one of our e-commerce site soon. Stay tuned!
