As a working mom of two active toddlers, Monica Plath intimately knows the anxieties parents and caregivers face when they are apart from their children. That\u2019s how she came up with her idea for Littlebird, a wearable tracking device that offers parents and caregivers peace of mind and real-time data about their children.\xa0In the middle of the pandemic, Monica found herself on ZOOM while nursing a newborn and meeting with software developers to meet milestones for deployment.\xa0During this time, she also wrote a children's book for charity and created a wine for moms from unused grapes from an award-winning vineyard --- all from rural Yakima Washington. The pandemic enabled her to go digital, file 4 patents, raise 2 million in pre-seed money, and resource the best minds in the business to create Littlebird while raising 2 small children as her marriage was falling apart.\xa0\xa0\nListen in to hear Monica share:\n\nHer reluctance around being a tech founder, but then shifting to embrace it\n\nWhat inspired her to create Little Bird when she was pregnant with a toddler under toe and knew she needed a way to support and monitor her toddler to keep him safe\n\nHow Little Bird answers these questions in real-time:\n\nIs my child safe?\xa0\n\nWhat is my child doing?\xa0\n\nHow is my child feeling?\n\nThe power and importance of \u201ccare transparency\u201d\n\nHow our current care economy is underserving parents\n\nHer advice to other moms out there with an idea and how to take initiative to get started\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\nGet a Littlebird: www.littlebird.care use promo code SHAMELESS to save $50 on your Littlebird\n\nMonica on Instagram & Twitter: @monicamplath\n\nLittlebird on Instagram & Twitter @littlebirdcares\xa0\n\nMonica on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicaplath\n\n\nLittlebird on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@littlebirdcares\n\n\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
