We’ve made it, besties!! We have Kelly Stumpe, aka THE CAR MOM, on the pod. We speak from experience when we say that even if you don’t consider yourself a car girlie, you’ll love this interview. We’ve watched Kelly’s very niched business grow, and we’re thrilled that she’s sharing her story with us today!

Founded in 2020, The Car Mom began simply as a way to review family cars from a mom's perspective. In the three years since, the mission has quickly grown to empower families of all sizes throughout the car selection and buying process. 

With a down-to-earth, family focused, and accessible approach to car tours, Kelly has fostered a loyal community of over half a million followers. In addition to being The Car Mom, Kelly is also the co-host of the podcast The Carpool, a Child Passenger Safety Technician and most importantly, a mom to three.
