We’re back with another powerful episode of LaunchBreak: The Podcast, hosted by 7x Emmy Award–winning journalist Zora Stephenson.

This episode features LaunchBreaker Meredith Hudson, founder of Sideline Bags, former Division I field hockey player, proud Yale alum, and a real-life supermom navigating the fast-paced worlds of sports, business, and motherhood.

Meredith shares the story behind Sideline Bags, a company she built to simplify the beautiful chaos of sports life for girls and families everywhere. From her days competing as a Division I athlete to leading in high-impact roles at companies like Roku, Snap Inc., Google, and Amazon, Meredith has built a career defined by grit, leadership, and resilience.

In this conversation, Meredith opens up about what it really takes to balance motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a high-powered career. She talks about building something meaningful while showing up for her family, navigating career pivots, and embracing the evolving definition of success.

Her story is honest, inspiring, and a reminder that sometimes the biggest launches happen off the field.
