Founder & CEO of Mom Bomb

MomBomb.shop & MomBomb.org

Women are underestimated. I sit in board rooms with capital investors and other decision makers and I know that there are women with better ideas, and still, they don’t get a chance.

– Heather Roberts

Welcome to the story of an entrepreneurial mother of 6 who made the discovery of her life during the most difficult time in her life. In the spotlight, Heather Roberts, Founder & CEO of Mom Bomb, MomBomb.shop, a social impact company that makes all-natural bath bombs while funding mombomb.org to support women in need. Why bath bombs? Heather explains: “One day, my body just said “enough” and I started having seizures. Over the next ten months, I saw 16 doctors and some of them said I was crazy.

Then, one neurologist took the extra time to study my medical reports carefully and she diagnosed me with a rare condition nicknamed “the suicide disease” because it is so painful, people kill themselves.” Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that causes sudden, intense, electric shock-like, stabbing pain to the side of the face. Finding the right medication for Heather took more time, too, and she found relief laying in a warm bath with bath bombs just for relief. However, once she started reading the ingredients in bath bombs, she learned that they are filled with “endocrine disrupting garbage” that can cause sleep dysfunction, headaches and more. That’s when Mom Bomb came to life. She learned how to use all-natural ingredients to create safe, soothing bath bombs for moms who just might need a little TLC at the end of a long day, and then she asked herself: what if I sell this product to women who need to relax and use the proceeds to help other moms in crisis?”Mom Bomb is a social impact company and in bringing her concept to market, she has redefined what it means to do well, by doing good. Many companies are following suit and that’s okay with Heather. “Mom Bomb.org is why I get up in the morning. We’re gonna give our money away and money is going to be the by-product of doing the right thing.” Inspiring? We think so.
