Every parent knows the feeling. It's 5:30 PM, everyone wants something different for dinner, and you're already exhausted from the day.
In this episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha sits down with Courtney Lawrie, Chief Operating Officer at Wonder, to explore how one company is reimagining family mealtime. From her years helping build Wayfair into a household name to now leading operations at one of the fastest-growing food technology companies, Courtney shares why dinner has become one of the biggest sources of stress for families—and how Wonder hopes to change that.
The conversation dives into the psychology behind dinner decisions, the mental load moms carry every evening, Wonder's expansion into Yardley, PA, and why convenience doesn't have to mean sacrificing quality or family connection.
Whether you're a busy parent, a foodie, or simply curious about the future of dining, this episode offers an inside look at the company changing how families gather around the table.
