Moms Who Made It - Michelle Kennedy

Here at Belly Bandit HQ, a women-owned and operated company, we believe in celebrating the success of all women in business! Our “Moms Who Made It” series is our way of honoring Mompreneurs who inspire us every day.

This week we're featuring Michelle Kennedy, Founder and CEO of Peanut, the go-to app for moms who want to connect and learn from each other.  Michelle created the app after having her son and coming to the realization that making new mom friends can be a struggle. Thanks to Michelle moms everywhere can now swipe "right" into new friendships! 

Describe your business philosophy in 5 words or less:

Change-why not you?

What inspired you to go into business?

My son, and my own experience of motherhood

When did you know you, “made it?”

Still trying, not there yet! But I am proud of Peanut everyday

Who is your mentor?

I have lots of different women I turn to for different things, never have one mentor, make sure you canvass opinion!

What’s your #1 tip for moms interested in starting their own business?

There will never be a ‘right time’ to start, so start now.

What does “me” time mean to you?

The ability to take some minutes of the day to stop, and reflect rather than think and do. 

What‘s on your bedside table?

Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. It’s absolutely incredible and a real eye opener.
