“I would say first and foremost, lean into that fear of the unknown...you are so much more capable than you think you are.”
In this episode of Startups and Stilettos, we sit down with Samantha Gold, the innovative founder of Motette—an elevated children’s pajama brand that seamlessly blends comfort, style, and a sprinkle of magic. Join hosts Carlyn Bushman and Richelle Pena as they dive into Samantha's inspiring journey as a Mamaprenista, exploring her mission to bring stylish and functional sleepwear to parents everywhere.
After the birth of her two children, Samantha found herself struggling to find high-quality, stylish pajamas for her little ones. Driven by passion and necessity, she launched Motette, focusing on timeless designs made from super-soft, eco-friendly bamboo.
Motette officially launches on March 14th at 12PM EST!
