Testimonials From Our Butterflies

"I believe in the power of Butterfly because I have seen the extraordinary strength and influence of women in business.

“A site like Butterfly is wonderful because the worst thing you could ever feel in life is if you feel alone… if we think we’re the only one going through it… there’s a tremendous desperation in that. You need to have faculties and wits about you. So, this is an opportunity to get all kinds of information that you’re going to need. Most importantly, it’s going to make you realize that you’re not alone. You have dreams and other people have their dreams too. Others may be able to give you words of wisdom to help with particular problem you’re facing that day. Learn from people that have gone before you.” - Kathie Lee Gifford

“It’s so important that woman support one another. It really helps us to feel connected and to get a better understanding about the reality of motherhood. Without having this type of support network, woman can feel very isolated, stuck and even depressed. Butterfly gives women hope to find the perfect combination for a rewarding work and personal life. It’s a real gift!!! We’re all interconnected and really need each other’s help to succeed. That’s really the bottom line here.” -
Dr. Robi Ludwig, Nationally known Psychotherapist, On-Air Correspondent

"I think a site like Butterfly could help working moms in a number of ways. First, hopefully it can help women find the job that allows them the balance of being a mom while also having a career.

Rebecca Lobo, ESPN Commentator, WNBA all-star, Olympic Medalist

"Thanks. What a great idea for a networking site. I, myself, have been reading up on "Relaunchers", women who want to return to a career but still want to keep some type of flexibility to ensure work/family balance. There's even a book out there - The Ten Year Nap - which addresses this issue. It's certainly a hot topic now and even our new First Lady has committed to this cause. I will share this networking site with my friends." - Congrats, Ligia

Thank you for inviting Michelle Obama to your Butterfly launch event. We value each and every invitation, but due to Mrs. Obama's time constraints, she must decline the majority of invitations received. We have reviewed your invitation, and unfortunately, she will be unable to participate in your event. Nevertheless, we hope that you will remain engaged in our emerging administration as you are the key individuals pushing our movement forward. - The Obama-BidenTransition Project Scheduling Team
