Manage episode 489778186 series 3671719
Join us on a powerful journey inside the world of motherhood. For numerous new moms or moms-to-be, obtaining personalized guidance and resources can be quite daunting. Often, this struggle can spiral toward feelings of distress and detachment.
In this episode of the Advancing Healthcare Innovation Show, we converse with the inspiring Emily Klingbeil – a mother herself, Harvard MBA holder, and the innovative CEO of Phoebe. Emily stepped onto this path following a successful 13-year career stint in investment banking. However, motherhood sparked a noteworthy pivot in her professional life, truly awakening her mission.
Born and raised on a Midwest dairy and tomato farm, Emily has always embodied an entrepreneurial spirit. She played an instrumental role in transforming her family's dairy farm into a flourishing tomato farm at the tender age of 12.
Her extensive 13-year career in banking, however, marked a stark contrast to her farming background. Emily quickly realized that the universe of banking was critically devoid of mother-figure role models, save for a single Managing Director supported by a swarm of nannies and a stay-at-home husband.
Phoebe, Emily's brainchild, is a robust platform designed for new mothers and expectant moms. Through Phoebe, users can uncover trusted, fact-based information about pregnancy, postpartum care, and childcare - all at their fingertips. Emily’s driving vision is weaving together a resilient network of mothers, interlaced by shared tales and experiences. Moreover, Phoebe's enriching programs amplify maternal resilience and arm mothers with vital life and career skills.
In this episode you'll discover:
* We dive deep into Emily’s transformative journey, transitioning from corporate life to becoming a beacon for moms globally.
* How this transition exemplifies how significant life events can unearth one's true purpose.
* How Phoebe strives to ensure every mother feels supported, affirming that no mother navigates this majestic journey alone.
