When Nicole agreed to start this company with me, I knew it was going to be something special — because that's exactly how our friendship started. It took five minutes to know she was going to be my best friend, and even less time to know she'd be an incredible business partner.

Between years of trying to balance my goals with my social life in my twenties, I knew I wanted a product that wouldn't make me choose between staying on track and happy hour with the girls. Since starting Mockadrop, the "why" behind it has grown — but the heart of it hasn't changed. Watching pregnant friends navigate girls' nights, friends choosing the sober life, and the community that's grown around us, I realized this was never just for the girl trying to have fun without falling off her calorie count. It's for anyone who wants convenience, a healthier lifestyle, a sense of belonging — and everything in between.
