Prioritizing White Space As Entrepreneurial Mothers With Ellie McNevin

Behind The Fold

I am so excited to welcome my very first guest to Behind The Fold, Ellie McNevin! Ellie is an entrepreneur and founder of The Birdie Agency, an award-winning agency focused on scaling innovative, creative, lifestyle businesses through proactive PR and marketing strategies that amplify reach, awareness, and revenue. Before starting her agency, Ellie launched her career as an editor in New York working in corporate for companies like Conde Nast and Hearst, but it wasn’t until the birth of her first child where she felt a shift in wanting to find that balance of business and motherhood. She launched The Birdy Agency and never looked back! In this episode we’ll chat about her pull to entrepreneurship, starting her agency as a new Mom and her passion for inspiring other women to create space for rest and creativity.
