Read it the way it ran in print.
Haven’s co-founder and COO on building something that has to hold up under the weight of real families. Her signature interview runs in the November 2026 issue, pages 32–39. Below is the actual spread, page for page, exactly as it appears in print.
You co-founded Haven with Britt and opened the first club together. What did you see in this idea that made you willing to bet on it?
I saw an untapped opportunity in childcare, something that was a genuinely interesting business, but more specifically, a place I would actually want to go. High-quality licensed childcare, but also somewhere I would subscribe to and pay for.
But it was also personal. I was pregnant with Jack and I genuinely did not know how I was going to keep working and have a family and grow my career, and still have all the other things I liked in my life.
We’re fed this idea that you can be anything you want, until there’s the moment where you actually have to choose. Do you want a family, or do you want to grow in your career, be a leader, build something? Haven felt like a real answer to that question.
Ambition often looks different once you become a mother. How has yours evolved, and where is it taking you?
Ambition used to feel like one lane. Now it’s two lanes running at the same time, all the time.
Where it’s taking me is to a place of being really present and intentional about what I’m prioritizing. If it’s family time, be fully in family time. If it’s work time, actually focus.
You can go all in on both things, but there will always be trade-offs. I think Haven also does something real: it makes it easier to hold both. Not without the work, it doesn’t do it for you, but it gives you the space to have both.
