#52 - Motherhood Meets Founder Life: From OT to Tech CEO- Dr. Ashley Blackington

  • Summary

  • Ever wondered if you could build a tech company without sacrificing family time? This week's episode will change how you think about the "having it all" narrative.

    Meet Dr. Ashley Blackington - OT turned tech founder, mother of four, and champion of the "AND/BOTH" philosophy. She's not here to tell you another glossy success story. Instead, she shares the raw truth about how bootstrapping her caregiving platform Dovetail® actually enabled her to grow a business at a pace that worked for her family.

    Why this episode is a must-listen:

    • Discover how Ashley turned her healthcare expertise into a tech solution while raising four kids
    • Learn practical strategies for growing a business on your own terms (not Silicon Valley's)
    • Get real talk about why sometimes slower growth is smarter growth
    • Understand how her clinical background as an OT gave her unique insights into building better tech solutions
    • Hear honest conversations about maintaining your identity while being both founder and mother


    Whether you're contemplating a career pivot, building a business while raising kids, or simply seeking inspiration from a mom who's rewriting the rules, Ashley's journey from clinician to CEO offers a refreshingly honest roadmap for ambitious mothers.


    This isn't just another "how I built this" story - it's a masterclass in building something meaningful without sacrificing what matters most.
