Hey everybody and welcome to today's edition of the Lindsay Elmore show today. I have the pleasure of speaking to Lindsay Pinchuk, who is the founder and CEO of Bump Club and Beyond.

We talk about how she saw a need for moms, dads, moms to be, dads to be, and even parents who are maybe three, four, five, six,

10, 12 years into this to find support from other parents out there.

And so she founded Bump Club and Beyond and then did what not a lot of entrepreneurs do and sold her company to a larger company.

And I talked to her about what her thought process was, what internal battle she had about

deciding, is this the right decision for me? Or am I making a huge mistake? After that,

I jump into the opposite end of the spectrum and address one of the

questions that I get asked so much about women's reproductive health, which is how do essential

oils impact my birth control pills? Are they going to make me get pregnant? Are they going to make

them less effective? What do I need to look out for to know that they are working just as they

are supposed to be? Let's get to the show. Welcome to the Lindsay Elmore show, a podcast that

helps you find fulfillment amidst chaos. On this show, I interview thought leaders,

doctors, creatives, spiritual gurus, and game changers who inspire you to pursue your dreams,

overcome obstacles, and leave your mark.

For nearly 10 years prior to starting Bump Club and Beyond, Lindsay Pinchuk worked in publishing, advertising, and marketing at Hertz Magazine, MTV Networks, the Tribune Company, and Time Incorporated for brands that included good housekeeping, Redbook, Sports Illustrated, The Chicago Tribune, and Nickelodeon.

As a University of Michigan alumni, she bleeds maize and blue, but also has a soft spot for the Northwestern Wildcats where she earned her Master's of Science in

Integrated Marketing Communication. Lindsay wanted something different in the marketplace.

She saw that she didn't have great connections with other expectant moms when she was

pregnant. And this was her initial catalyst in starting the

Bump Club and Beyond brand. Bump Club and Beyond has connected parents and parents to be with the

best products, resources, and information so that they can create the pregnancy that they

choose. And she's been doing this for over 10 years.
