Sonya had a successful career in the banking and finance industry when she momentarily stepped away to go on maternity leave. What happened during that time would change not only her identity – but her career path.

Sonya and her husband travelled a lot with their son from four months of age. She shares how they managed his routine amidst different time zones, how he adapted to the constant moving and what tips she has for parents who are taking their kids on flights.

It was on one of these trips where Sonya had a moment that broke her – but which triggered an idea that would change the direction of her life, and she started working on her new business idea, a nappy rash spray.

Sonya speaks about what it was like walking away from a successful career to launch something on her own in a new industry which she had no experience in. She shares how it felt right for her to focus on her family and being a mum and what drove her to keep going when her idea seemed impossible. It took two years and over 20 formulations to get her nappy rash spray right!

Sonya created the beautiful product malo – you can listen to her story now, available on all podcast platforms.
