Today I’m interviewing Kathryn Wepfer. She is the founder and CEO of Fulcrum Apparel, which just launched this month, and aims to elevate workwear for Moms navigating the pumping process. Kathryn is dedicated to empowering the female workforce through products and services that enable women to be present in both work and motherhood while achieving all their goals. Kathryn lives in Washington, DC with her husband and two daughters.I can’t wait for you to hear all about Kathryn and her business, but I am also excited for the bigger conversation and dialogue we had surrounding postpartum moms and pumping in the workplace. It was so amazing chatting with her because my very own experiences with this made all the memories come flooding back. I remember the struggle and the beauty of it, finding the balance of being back at work and yet the pain of leaving my baby, the awkwardness of doing something so personal in a professional settling and so much more. We cover it all in this episode and I think whether you breastfed or not, you can relate to the feelings of just going back to work as a new Mom and the tension that’s there.Book she mentions:City of Girls by Elizabeth GilbertFind Kathryn:Website: thefulcrumapparel.com/Instagram: @fulcrumapparel/

Episode 084: Back to Work, Pumping and Support for Moms with Kathryn Wepfer

A family-driven career break can be the start of your next big thing. That was certainly the case for my guest on this week’s Money, Career &amp; Motherhood podcast. Kathryn Wepfer was a highly accomplished working professional excited about her work, until the birth of her second child. When she was unable to extend her maternity leave after her second daughter was born, Kathryn did something she never expected to – she quit her job to spend more time bonding with her new daughter. While out on her extended break, Kathryn did something else she hadn’t expected to do – start a business. Now, as the founder of Fulcrum Apparel, Kathryn is able to improve the return to work experience for new working mothers, use her professional skills, and be an active and engaged mother.   About the Guest: Kathryn Wepfer is the founder and CEO of Fulcrum Apparel, workwear for pumping mothers. She began her career as a mechanical engineer for General Electric, earned an MBA from MIT, and spent much of her career in various roles at Microsoft. After the birth of her second daughter she pivoted to entrepreneurship with an idea sparked by her own journey as a working mother. She founded Fulcrum Apparel in 2019 to elevate workwear for moms navigating the pumping process. Kathryn is dedicated to empowering the female workforce through products and services that enable women to be present in both work and motherhood while achieving all their goals.
