## Resource

This week on So Mom , Priscilla and Adele sit down with Audrey McLoghlin , founder and CEO of Frank and Eileen. Audrey shares her journey from engineer to fashion entrepreneur, building a values-driven brand during the 2008 financial crisis, earning B Corp certification in 2020, and launching a $10M giving pledge to support women entrepreneurs. Rooted in her Irish heritage and named after her beloved grandparents, Frank and Eileen, her company blends timeless style with heart, resilience, and a little Irish magic. From navigating economic uncertainty to redefining success on her own terms, this conversation explores entrepreneurship, sustainable fashion, leadership, philanthropy, and the power of building something that truly feels like home. It's thoughtful, inspiring, and filled with the kind of storytelling that lingers long after the episode ends. If you're interested in women founders, career pivots, purpose-driven brands, or the stories behind what we wear, this one's for you.
