In this episode, CNBC's Julia Boorstin sits down with Chelsea Hirschhorn, founder and CEO of Frida — the company behind one of parenting's most talked-about products. That product is the NoseFrida, often called the \"snot sucker.\" It's a simple tool that helps parents clear a baby's stuffy nose using gentle suction and a built-in filter. Hirschhorn shares how that simple gift from another mom sparked her leap from law to entrepreneurship — and how she grew Frida from a small startup into a 150-product brand spanning baby care, postpartum recovery, fertility, and women's health. She also opens up about how trusting her intuition, embracing discomfort, and building without venture capital became her leadership edge.
