Reaching Women Through Their Infants

Published: June 8, 2016, 7 a.m.

Today on Purse Strings Maria Reitan is joined by Sonal Gerten, Founder of Tumblewalla and PlayActivist.

Sonal explains "It\u2019s been a personal journey to be more present and playful in my own life. I\u2019m a busyness addict \u2013 my default setting is to do more, achieve more, stress more and worry more (when I\u2019m not busy of course).

It wasn\u2019t until the birth of my kids that I truly realized I needed to change my ways for the benefit of my family. Stress, constant worry, and a roadrunner lifestyle were NOT values I wanted to pass on to my sons. \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0\xa0As a new mom, I also saw a void in the market \u2013 a need for more spirited, pure and comfortable fabrics for babies and toddlers that represented the vibrancy and yoga traditions of my Indian heritage \u2013 and this \u201ca-ha\u201d is how Tumblewalla came to be...because a Tumblewalla (loosely translated from Hindi as \u201cone who tumbles\u201d) really knows how to PLAY."
