Is Walking Away The Best Mom Move? ft. Hannah Bronfman

A few months postpartum with her daughter Claude, Hannah Bronfman folded a $40 million venture fund she'd spent two years raising. In this episode, she tells me exactly why, and the answer is not what I expected. We talk about what it means to walk away from something you spent two years on. About the moment your body starts telling you a job is wrong, and what it takes to actually listen. About fundraising as a woman investing in women's health in a market that quietly killed the girl boss. About being a wellness founder and not always feeling well, and the weird specific trap of selling health while privately falling apart. If you don't know Hannah, she's a wellness entrepreneur, investor, mom of two, and one of seven women starring in The CEO Club on Prime Video. She founded Beautified, has been creating on the internet for fifteen years, and is also one of my real life friends. We're both two-time IVF moms, so this one wanders. We get into peptides and the article that found lead in injectables. Progesterone shots and the hives she got on her butt. Whether you should put your kids on the internet, and what happens when one of them goes missing at preschool (it was a braid, not a child, relax). But the part I keep thinking about is the bigger question underneath all of it. Sometimes the version of success you've been chasing is the one quietly pulling you away from your kids. And walking away isn't failure. It's the mom move. Hit follow wherever you're listening, and I'll see you next week. — Sponsors: Hatch: Visit www.hatch.co/baby to learn more about Hatch Baby, or find Hatch Baby on Amazon, Target and Babylist registries.
