Once Abigail Fulbrook became a mother, she realized that by working in schools, she was forced to follow antisocial hours. She thought that other mothers could have the same problem, so she had the idea of creating a website that focused just on the needs of mothers, with tailored programs on their interests.

Her story is inspiring, and in this interview, she shares with us her experience and the difficulties she continues to face, like coping with different time zones. Yet, life is so much better when you take ownership of it!
