Say Bump and Take a Left: How I Birthed a Baby and a Business After a Huge Bump in the Road

Pregnancy is life changing enough, but what would you do if you were 8 months pregnant and you fell and broke both your legs? You now will go through labor and delivery, care for your newborn, toddler, husband and home with a pink cast up to the knee on one leg, and a blue cast on the other. How can your casts fit in those stirrups? How do you carry your newborn if you can’t walk? How do you get to the bathroom fast enough? You probably wouldn’t think of starting a business after that experience, but that is exactly what the author did. Mary Kathryn Johnson takes us on an incredibly true journey that is always honest and funny, and at times raw and insightful. She shows us that birthing a business is just as messy and life changing as birthing a baby, but you hopefully don’t need to break both legs to do either.
