Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Uncommonly Remarkable, I sit down with Amy Vale, founder of For the Cubs, a brand on a mission to support children and families through thoughtful design and purposeful giving. Amy shares the heartwarming story behind Percy the Weighted Hug Bear, a product inspired by her foster care journey and created to provide comfort and emotional support to children.

We also explore Amy’s experiences as a foster parent to ten children, the lessons she’s learned about resilience, and her insights into creating calm, intentional environments for kids. Plus, Amy reflects on her eclectic career—from marketing at global brands to championing causes close to her heart—and how she’s reframing perceptions of foster care.
