Can you really build a successful career and be the kind of mom you want to be?
In this inspiring and refreshingly honest episode of From a Woman to a Leader, I sit down with Tracy Marlowe—CEO of Creative Noggin, a fully remote ad agency she built in 2008 while breastfeeding her newborn.
Today, that agency brings in over $7M a year and is recognized by Adweek as one of the fastest-growing agencies in the world. And here’s the best part? It’s built entirely on flexibility, empathy, and women-first leadership.
Tracy shares how she broke away from the hustle-driven agency world to create a company where women can lead, thrive, and show up fully—for their work and their families.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ How to create a career you love without burning out
✅ Why flexibility isn’t a perk—it’s a power move
✅ What it really takes to build a values-driven company
✅ How to stop hiding the “mom part” of your identity at work
✅ Why modeling ambition for your kids is a gift—not a guilt trip
This isn’t just a story of entrepreneurship.
It’s a blueprint for building work on your terms—as a woman, as a mother, as a leader.
🎧 Hit play if you’ve ever felt torn between your ambition and your family.
