Marina Khidekel saw just how comforting a weighted blanket could be. But why not a stuffed animal that could hug back? Marina founded Hugimals to bring comfort & calm to many by creating high-quality weighted stuffed animals for kids & adults that do just that – hug you back. At a time when we could all use a hug or two, Hugimals helps with sleep while combining the calming benefits of a weighted blanket with the portability of a favorite stuffed animal. We learn all about Marina’s backstory as a longtime health journalist, the twists and turns of her entrepreneurial journey, and all the lessons that she has learned along the way. So inspiring!
