Bad Mother

If you've ever felt unqualified for the job...welcome!

Hi! I’m Lily and I am the founder of Figlia. Over the past 5 years, I’ve frequently been asked questions from others regarding how I started a company at the age of 24 with basically no experience in the Food & Beverage industry. Well, here’s your answer - I have no idea!

5 years into starting a business and 4 years into having our products in the market and I still feel like I am teaching myself how to do new and challenging things daily. The secret to making this all work you might ask? The sauce is being a pro at doing the job you’re unqualified for. I realize that may seem counterintuitive but I guess what I’m trying to say is…if you trust YOU, you’re in business.

So, while I cringe at myself for trying most things that involve me putting myself out there…I bring to you Bad Mother. A warm hug or good laugh in your inbox for those of you who often time feel like you’re a bad mother to your own role, own brand, own belonging when all at the same time, you realize were never bad at the job at all.

This newsletter will include:

1. Being vulnerable <3

2. Stories from me and others I admire

3. Things I’ve found helpful along the way

4. Random treats

Found on my mom’s desk. Happy Mother’s Day!

That’s it! Bye!
