Carly (Starratt) Dornbrook’s Post

When I set out to create Mila's Keeper all I really thought about was how I wanted to help moms who would be going through the hardships of breastfeeding/pumping on-the-go much like I did. So when I received my first review from a mom, I literally cried with joy. Our 20-hour cold storage invention for breast milk was helping moms! A year later and hundreds of reviews later, the feedback keeps me motivated to keep doing what I'm doing to reach more moms. So when independent, third-party reviews come in from hugely reputable outlets like Forbes, Babylist, and now Parents.com, I can't help but beam like a proud parent - validating all the hard work that goes into creating and nurturing a new company with a strong social mission behind it. And with recent grants from Antares Capital LP and National ACE, I truly believe, the sky is the limit! If your organization wants to recognize the importance of supporting working moms, 'walk the talk' and offer our products as a benefit to them as they return to work. They need this, I needed this. You'll have happier, less stressed moms, and a more loyal, productive workforce, not to mention healthier babies. Really, what more could you ask for? #workingmoms #breastfeedingsupport #workbenefits

Ghazal Alagh with a hand on her pregnant belly. I read “you’re pregnant, you should take it slow” and I know exactly the choose-your-hard kind of Gogginesque post coming my way. Hustle porn. But, the kind that only would-be moms can do. I read on because I been there too. My first thought? She’s already growing a baby. How much more productive do you want to be with 12 hours at work. Working 12 hours a day is a lot, scientifically speaking, for pilots; Air crew; Folks working in security; train drivers; Sportspersons; Body builders; Performing artists. Even that student slumming it out in Kota, prepping for the next competitive exam. So, It can’t be productivity. It’s something else. And Ghazal’s something else is not my business. Not yours either. Cue the comments section and people are expecting Ghazal to post more “responsibly”; some moms are asking themselves that if they had had a tough time during their pregnancy in the past, where does it peg them (Sweetheart, you’re a mom. You made it!) I find this sad. In this age of social media where we have influencers trying to seduce us with their way of life, we’ve lost the art of Letting Things Fly. Just because Ghazal Alagh is an “influencer”, you don’t have to be influenced. Feeling bad about yourself just based on what someone says on social media is a such a waste of time and health! Pregnancy is a unique experience for each individual (and their individual baby). Try putting your baby at the centre of your experience. They’re gonna be inside only for 9 months so it’s okay to turn the light onwards. I did that when I was having mine and it was great fun. Just an idea. I didn’t put in paid work for 12 hours a day. I’m still here, so far so good. Still not feeling bad. Meaning, it’s a choice. Dear men and managers from all genders, pls realllly moderate the inspiration you take from Ghazal’s post. Some pregnant women break highest ever revenue goals on innovation and some can barely get up to make themselves a cup of tea. The only miracle here is the miracle of life. Hustle on.

Ghazal Alagh It’s fantastic that you thrived during your pregnancy and tackled Shark Tank India! Your story is truly inspiring, and it's important to challenge the stereotype that women need to be inactive while pregnant. However, let's acknowledge the other side of the coin. Pregnancy experiences are unique. While some, like you, feel energetic, others experience complications like fatigue, nausea, or high-risk conditions like preeclampsia. The advice "take it slow" isn't meant to limit capable women, but rather to be a reminder for everyone to listen to their bodies. For some, it might mean slowing down to avoid complications or simply honoring what their bodies need something many of us, regardless of gender, can struggle with Here's how we can all support a healthy and empowering pregnancy experience: Individuality matters: Celebrate your amazing experience, but acknowledge not all pregnancies are the same Respectful support: Encourage others to listen to their doctors and adjust activity levels based on their individual needs. Focus on capability: Pregnancy doesn't define capability. It's about finding ways to stay productive while prioritizing health (whether that's slowing down or pushing forward). Let's all respect the diversity of pregnancy experiences

Amazing to hear Ghazal Alagh and It's inspiring to see women challenging stereotypes and excelling even during pregnancy: 1. Your story is a powerful example of the myth that women are less capable during this time. 2. Leading by example, showing that pregnancy can coincide with ambitious career goals, like managing high-revenue projects. 3. Emphasizing teamwork and support among colleagues to achieve both personal and professional milestones. #Paykio #JitenderSinghDahiya #FinTech #crossborderpayments #startupfunding #angelinvestor #Venturecapital #crossborderremittance #BreakingBarriers #WomenInLeadership #Empowerment

"You can empower your women folks by giving them gift of choice" We are not in competition with men to prove our worth. And we don't become less capable during pregnancy- it's just our focus gets divided and we are more aligned to give the best to the baby that we are carrying. Dear Ghazal Alag, While it's commendable what you have done during your pregnancy... setting it as benchmark for other women is bit too demanding. No two pregnancies are same. I had a pretty difficult 1st pregnancy but I was up and about in my 2nd pregnancy. So while we push boundaries and break the glass ceiling we need to be empathetical and allow women around us to choose what they wish to do. And it's commendable that we achieve greater heights - but managing stress levels during pregnancy is also of prime importance for overall emotional and mental make up of the baby... (On a side note this is an excellent example of what damage PR can do to your image, especially when THEY and YOU don't have ears to ground) PCHS Indonesia #Loker #lowongankerja #womenatwork #lowongankerjaterbaru #lowonganjakarta #PCHSI #lowongankerjabodatabek #MyIndonesianTigresses #indonesiamaju #indonesiajobs #indonesiabusiness

Dear Mothers, Take care and prioritise yourself !! Don't succumb to any negative influences. It's crucial not to compromise on your health during pregnancy. Every pregnancy is unique, and as the chosen vessels to bring life into the world, it's essential to prioritize both your physical and mental well-being. The mental stress you experience during pregnancy can have a profound impact on your child's mental well-being throughout their life. Therefore, taking care of yourself emotionally and mentally is just as important as taking care of yourself physically during this precious time. Remember, you deserve to have a special and memorable pregnancy experience, one that nurtures both you and your baby's health and happiness "You can always find another job, but the journey of pregnancy is priceless! It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brings immense joy, love, and fulfillment. Cherish every moment of this precious journey and prioritize your health and well-being above all else." #WomenAtWork #WorkLifeBalance #MentalHealthPriority #WellbeingMatters #WomenInBusiness #SelfCareAtWork #HealthyWorkLife #PrioritizeWellbeing #MindfulWorkplace #BalanceAndThriving
