How long does it really take to build a business? What goes into it? This week we sit down with Mona Stilwell of Feeding Mama to ask her about the process of setting up her business. Over 18-months Mona apprenticed under chefs, worked closely with a nutritionist and consulted with a Chinese Doctor in order to setup Feeding Mama: ‘a meal delivery service providing ready-to-eat products that help new parents throughout the early postpartum phase. Inspired by the Traditional Chinese Medicine practice of "Sitting The Month" (zuò yuè zi), [Feeding Mama] provides warming and healing foods specifically for you to recover from pregnancy, childbirth, or lactation. We honour ancient wisdom while creating food with local, organic, and seasonal ingredients in a modern way.’This hugely in-depth process was so interesting to chat about with Mona and digging into the struggles and patience that process came with allowed us to find many moments where Mona felt like giving up. Listen along to hear more about the process, the ways in which Mona found motivation and patience and to learn more about the Traditional Chinese Medicine that inspired Mona.

Episode 12 - Mona Stilwell | Taking Time To Prepare

On this episode I’m joined by Feeding Mama founder Mona Stilwell. What I loved most about sitting down with Mona is hearing about her non-linear professional past and journey into Motherhood. Mona shares how her Mother’s gift of a postpartum chef gave her more than sustenance and describes how she then took a Chinese tradition and created a meaningful way to nourish new parents. *Note I nearly ended the interview early, but Mona kindly reminded me that we had only talked off air about how she became a Mother. Keep listening past the 45 min marker because its exceptionally moving. *  feedingmama.ca @feedingmama *CHECK OUT MY PATREON
