ep 002: From Bathroom Floors to Breast Express RV: The pumpspotting Story
WITH: pumpspotting founder + CEO, Amy VanHaren
The founder of pumpspotting, Amy, takes us on her journey of what was once an idea quickly rejected on a reality TV show to where it is today—a powerful community of mothers in the pumpspotting app. Amy shares how her personal struggle to nourish her son led her on a unique quest to nourish other mothers, going from pumping on a bathroom floor to sleeping on a 40-foot Breast Express RV to building a tech startup that solves the pain points of breastfeeding in the workplace. By meeting and sitting with moms all over the US, hearing their stories of strength and a resounding need for encouragement, uplifting words, and kindness, Amy discovered a role for pumpspotting in changing the way women feed their families. Listen in as Amy retraces the steps that led to pumpspotting becoming a voice for women, and considers what the future holds.
