OEN PubTalk: The Daily Juggle – Stories from Mompreneurs

Spreadsheets and sippy cups, pitches and potties, term sheets and tantrums… managing a startup can be all-consuming, so how the heck do you do it when you also have a family to manage? On the heels of Mother’s Day, hear from moms in the trenches who are learning to master the ‘Daily Juggle.’ They will share their challenges, their victories, and their tips for those who dare to try to ‘have it all.’

Prior to purchasing NXT, they owned and operated greenHaus, an art gallery and boutique in downtown Phoenix.

She is most widely known for her success as the inventor of Boogie Wipes, saline wipes for kids’ stuffy noses. Her idea hit $15 million in sales in 2011 and was acquired shortly after by Nehemiah Manufacturing.
