Callie's Rise

Callie Christensen is the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Slumberkins, the leading children’s emotional wellness brand built at the intersection of story, science, and heart. A former special education teacher and mom, Callie launched Slumberkins to help families nurture social-emotional learning through books, characters, and screen content. What began as a passion project quickly resonated with millions, over 2 million books sold, 50+ titles self-published, and an Emmy-nominated Apple TV+ series now bringing Slumberkins’ mission to life on screen.

Professional Superpower

Callie is a brand builder with a deep emotional IQ and an educator’s touch. She bootstrapped the company to over $1M before raising $25M in capital and continues to lead the creative and brand vision as Slumberkins scales nationwide. A published author and executive producer, she’s helped turn storytime into a powerful tool for lifelong wellness and built a category-defining brand in the process.

Personal Superpower

Callie leads with purpose and presence. Her work is grounded in real-life parenting, classroom experience, and a belief that emotional wellness is just as essential as academics. Her authenticity resonates with both kids and caregivers, creating meaningful connections that extend far beyond the page.

What Drives Callie

Callie is on a mission to equip the next generation with the tools to understand and express their emotions. Through storytelling, connection, and heart-forward leadership, she’s helping families everywhere raise emotionally resilient humans, one creature at a time.
