Summary

Vanessa Quigley is a renowned memory expert and mother of seven. In 2014, she co-founded Chatbooks to help families organize and enjoy their family stories. Vanessa's aha moment came when she found her youngest son clutching his most prized possession: a photo album his preschool teacher made for him. Once an avid scrapbooker, Vanessa knew there needed to be a better solution for her photos stuck on her phone. Now millions of parents have printed their family memories with the Chatbooks app. Vanessa was named Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017, authored DIY advice book Real Moms, Real Hacks, and hosts The MomForce Podcast. In 2021, Chatbooks was named the #1 place to work for women in the United States, by Fortune magazine. And… fun fact: Vanessa is Miss Utah 1994 and a professionally trained opera singer. In her downtime, you can find her in the mountains with her family, seeing the everyday magic. Listen in to hear Vanessa share: Her road to becoming a tech founder as a mom of 7 How her company Chatbooks was inspired by her experience in motherhood How women differ from men in leadership and why it’s so critical for more of us to hold positions in leadership How can we make more space for women and moms in tech The massive struggle for childcare across our nation The importance of flexible work schedules for everyone What she wants the future of work to look like for moms How she has intentionally created a culture at Chatbooks and the importance of actual integration of values Her advice to moms who don’t feel seen/heard in the workplace Links mentioned: Get the SMA Newsletter to learn about our January 2023 events: shamelessmom.com/newsletter Check out Chatbooks: Chatbooks.com Podcast: The Mom Force Podcast Vanessa on IG: @vanessaquigley Chatbooks on IG: @chatbooks Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
