Ellie Stuvland shared how motherhood has boosted her confidence. She makes decisions quickly and effectively, stays committed, and communicates directly. These traits have enhanced her leadership and teamwork skills. Her advice on hiring moms also applies to pregnant women, emphasizing that no one is more efficient than a woman facing a firm deadline.

We know that when mom thrives, families thrive, business thrives, society thrives ... and things change for the better."
