In part 1 of this two-part conversation, Leanna sits down with Ashley Chang, Founder & CEO of Sundays and new mom, to explore how the experience of Ashley's own mom inspired her mission to support working mothers. They reflect on how their similar upbringings, from being the eldest of three daughters to growing up with stay-at-home moms and entrepreneur dads, may have shaped their drive as high achievers. Long before becoming a mom herself, Ashley was already focused on the unique challenges working mothers face. As a former product leader in tech, Ashley is skilled at solving problems at scale, yet motherhood brought new questions around balance, capacity, and meaningful support. Leanna and Ashley discuss the challenges of living up to high expectations set by their parents, and Ashley reflects on how she's learning to set realistic goals, delegate effectively, and prioritize quality time with her baby while staying focused at work.
