Kathrin Hamm is the visionary founder and CEO of Bearaby, the company revolutionizing the sleep industry with its innovative weighted blankets. Back in 2018, while working as an economist for the World Bank, Kathrin was among the 68% of adults struggling with sleep problems. Seeking a natural solution to her chronic insomnia, she experienced the therapeutic benefits of a weighted blanket, which inspired her to create Bearaby. Recognizing an opportunity to make these blankets more sustainable and stylish, she launched Bearaby with a mission to bring the incredible benefits of weighted blankets to a wider audience. Under her leadership, Bearaby has quickly become the beloved brand in the space, and is celebrated for its unique approach to wellness and sleep. Kathrin's unwavering commitment to sustainability and holistic health continues to inspire Bearaby's mission to enhance sleep quality while caring for the planet.

In this episode, Kathrin also discusses:

• The original development process of creating a sustainable weighted blanket using plant-based materials free of artificial fillings
• How she sold out of inventory in the first 2 days
• Creating products that are functional AND aesthetically pleasing
• The importance of your network and joining entrepreneur organizations
