In this exciting episode, Tara Williams, Founder of Dreamland Baby shares her tragedy to triumph story of bringing her family back from the brink of bankruptcy to financial stability and building a multi-million-dollar business. Tara Williams is also a mom of four kids, and is now helping more than 50,000 families get a better night’s sleep.
According to Tara, “at almost six months old, our son Luke was still waking up every hour and a half. Like so many other new parents we were desperate for sleep. One night we placed him under a heavy throw blanket while sitting on our couch. I noticed as soon as the weight was on his body, he instantly calmed down. A lightbulb went off in my head: he needs a weighted blanket! I called my mother-in-law to sew my idea; a lightly weighted blanket. The first night wearing our prototype Luke slept 12 hours! We couldn’t believe how immediately his sleep was improved. Word quickly spread and I was flooded with requests from family and friends. The idea to bring Dreamland Baby to families everywhere was born.”
In May 2020 Tara appeared on ABCs Shark Tank and was successful in getting funded. Check out this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Tara Williams in conversation with Keisha Blair!
