Hi Friends,
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there 💛 I wrote a small reflection this weekend on what it really feels like balancing motherhood and building. If you relate, I’d appreciate the support and likes.
I’m spending this weekend recharging at home with my two boys after an incredible week hosting 3 SOLD OUT events across NYC and SF 🔥
This week:
• Speaking at Claw Camp tomorrow @ 2:30pm [30% off] — come say hi!
• Hosting a LangChain Interrupt side event Thursday with You.com’s CPO and top AI founders/CEOs.
Hope to see you this week :)
