Stephanie Cartin is co-founder of the digital media agency, Socialfly, one of Inc. 5000’s fastest growing companies, and one of the only women owned, women-led companies in her space. While growing her company and managing a team of 30, Stephanie was also working to bring her first child into the world. She documented her sometimes tragic (and always incredibly brave) journey through IVF and a highly challenging pregnancy in a very public way on social media. Thousands of followers breathed a collective sigh of relief when “Mighty Mollie” as she called her daughter, was born. Hear how Stephanie stayed positive while running her company, tackling health challenges and many weeks of bedrest thanks to her powerful mindset. It seems fitting that her career started thanks to a timeshare at Disney, since Walt Disney is known for the quote: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Stephanie shares her journey with Julia Pimsleur, including how one conversation can change your life, and why a personal experience is a powerful selling tool; why it is important in business to share who you are with as many people as possible; why sharing her very personal pregnancy journey publicly was so liberating for Stephanie, and why she would never have become, or stayed, pregnant without social media; Stephanie’s belief that everything is somehow, solvable; and, her fierce determination to honor a Disneyland promise.
