28 min 31 sec
Guest:
Galena Stavreva

Galena Stavreva explains how her own nursing experience inspired PowerMama and a move from a demanding legal career into product entrepreneurship.

Listen on other platforms:

Galena Stavreva is the true definition of a Mum-preneur – inspired by her own nursing experience, she created PowerMama, a smart pumping bra.

The success of the product encouraged her to expand the brand and she is now committed to making breastfeeding as easy as possible, recognising that everyone’s nursing journey is unique.

In this episode we talk about setting up a manufacturing business from your kitchen table, her earlier start up success, and the grueling hours of a city career, which now feels a lifetime ago.

Galena is open about the challenges she had as a mum, the importance of lifestyle choices and knowing when to hit the pause button for the sake of your own health.

Her story is a good reminder to take things one step at a time and let the pieces of the puzzle just fit together.
