Eps 8: Nursery Sickness & Building a Brand Without Missing Out on your Children's Childhood with Stephanie Drax
This week on Heidi at Home, I'm joined by Stephanie Drax, founder of Leapfrog Remedies, journalist, and mum of two, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, family life, and what success really looks like. What started as one mum searching for answers after years of nursery coughs and colds became Leapfrog Remedies, a science-backed supplement brand now stocked in major retailers including Selfridges and trusted by families across the UK. Stephanie shares the fascinating story behind discovering lactoferrin, the natural protein that transformed her family's health and inspired her to spend three years working alongside immunologists, pharmacists and nutritionists to bring Leapfrog IMMUNE to market. But this episode isn't just about building a successful business. It's about building one around your family. We talk honestly about the challenge of being present when you're running a business, making career decisions that prioritise family life over relentless growth, and why Stephanie has consciously chosen not to overcommit so she can be there for the moments that matter most. She also shares how her two sons have become part of the business itself, from being the first taste testers of every new product to developing a genuine curiosity about entrepreneurship by watching their mum build something from the ground up. This is a conversation about ambition, motherhood, trusting your instincts, and remembering that success isn't just measured by turnover or retailer listings—it's also measured by the life you're building around the people you love most. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to build a thriving business without sacrificing your family along the way, this episode is for you.
