Ameripea CEO Laura is on a mission to bring joy to motherhood

Kate and Mandy talk to Laura, an Aussie-born Ameripea currently living in California. Her seven-year-old daughter Penny is one of only twelve people in the world with a condition called Lethal Neonatal Rigidity Multi-Focal Seizure Syndrome, which is caused by a variation in the BRAT1 gene. Penny is the happiest person she knows, is the best hugger and has taught Laura so much about empathy and diversity. Laura is also CEO of Willow, makers of the world’s first wearable breast pump and a company with a mission to bring joy to motherhood. Listening to Too Peas has helped her connect to her Australian home while living through difficult times in the United States – from Trump, to the pandemic lockdowns and the increase in racially-based violence. Laura took Penny and her family to Give Kids The World, a place that provides free holidays for critically ill kids and their families in Florida.  Live shows are back in Victoria!Book tickets for Sat 8 May at The Yarraville ClubBook tickets for Sat 15 May at the Karralyka in Ringwood East Thank you for supporting Too Peas In A Podcast!Website: www.toopeasinapodcast.com.auEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
