We're so excited to share that our founder, Megan, was recently a guest on From The Goat Up: Where Motherhood and Ambition Collide — the podcast hosted by Karen Minsky, founder of Dionis Goat Milk Skincare. It's a conversation about the early, messy, beautiful reality of building something meaningful while figuring out motherhood at the same time.

Megan has always been open about where Mama Coco came from — not a boardroom, not a business plan, but the daily chaos of caring for a newborn and noticing what wasn't working. Cold zippers. Missed snaps. Velcro that was scratchy and loud. A flashlight needed at 3am just to change a diaper.

In the episode, Megan gets candid about the not-so-glamorous early days — ideating during nap time, sourcing fabric with her baby in the stroller, sending emails after bedtime. No business background. No experience in fashion or manufacturing. Just a clear need and the drive to fill it.

She also talks about the harder moments — the doubt, the overwhelm, the pushback from manufacturers who couldn't understand why she wanted to remove every fastener from babywear. And what kept her going: the reviews, the photos moms would share, the feeling that this thing she dreamed up was genuinely helping families.

One of the most honest moments in the conversation? When Karen asks what Megan is most proud of. Her answer is simple: sticking with it. Starting with no experience, no roadmap, and still being here — still building, still growing, still a team of one.

Megan also shares a piece of advice for any mama thinking about building something of her own: let go of the need for perfection. Progress takes time. You need a foundation to start on — and waiting for everything to be perfect means you never begin.

It's a beautiful conversation and we're so grateful to Karen for creating a space where the real story gets told. Give it a listen — and share it with a mama who needs to hear it. 🤍
