The Motherhood Village Podcast


Jan 14, 2022

Sarah K Peck is the founder and CEO of Startup Parent and the host of The Startup Parent Podcast, an award-winning podcast featuring women in entrepreneurship, business, and parenting.

Sarah is also the founder of The Wise Women’s Council, an annual leadership program for women to come together honestly while navigating the challenges of working and parenting. 

Sarah’s professional career started in environmental psychology and the design of environments. She pursued a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master's Degree in Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Design. In 2011, Sarah began consulting with Y-Combinator backed startups, and launched her own consultancy in 2013.

Today, she’s the CEO and founder of Startup Parent, a company focused on the narratives we share (and the ones we don’t share) about work, parenting, and motherhood.

Sarah's mission is to tell new, truthful stories of what motherhood is actually like in America. To connect people to new ideas, to each other, and back to themselves. 

On this episode we tackle:

  • Leadership & Business: the pain she wanted to solve with Startup Parent, the inspiration behind creating the Wise Women's Council, the need for support for working parents
  • Parenting & Motherhood: how to make parent friends, letting go of the "balance" myth, accepting motherhood is hard, parenting through a pandemic and having grace for it all
