It was a pleasure joining Tony Xanders at the @curateforwomen conference for a fireside chat. It was such a beautiful reminder of the power of creating space for women to share their work, lessons and journeys.

Grateful for the conversations, connections and opportunity to share what I’m building. Huge congratulations to the Curate Team @v.armstrong_ 💕 by @shayclaiborne

This week I’m the guest on @nolaouttolunch, the business podcast and radio show hosted by Peter Ricchiuti on @npr affiliate WWNO 89.9 FM, recorded live from @TheColumnsHotel! 🎙️

We talked about two things you may not think go together: fine dining and software for child development. And somehow, the conversation was SO good.

It was great being at lunch with James Beard Best Chef @ashwinvilkhu of @saffronnola & @thekingswaynola .

Thanks for having me, Peter! Tune in Thursday at 12:30 PM or listen wherever you get your podcasts. taken in The Columns by @shayclaiborne

Too many kids get overlooked because the system wasn’t designed to support some parents nor does it have the tools to spot what matters early.

CDC data shows that 1 in 4 children won’t meet certain milestones on time — and waiting typically cost precious moments.

Early tracking is critical — the first few years are when the brain, body, and social-emotional skills develop fastest.

Milestone Mate, founded by Shay Claiborne, gives parents a simple way to track development, celebrate milestones, and get guidance before small gaps turn into bigger obstacles.

Get ready for this exciting but also educational conversation about child development and all things milestone mate!!!

Premiering Sunday March 29 @7pm

June has been a busy month for the MilestoneMate team. Our founder and CEO @shayclaiborne attended the Guardian Summit, hosted by @camelbackventures , a convening of fellows and leaders building innovative, equity-driven solutions. In 2025, she was also part of the Camelback Fellowship, and this year’s summit was a meaningful return to a community that continues to shape and support our journey. by @shayclaiborne
