Thrive in Both Career and Motherhood.

The Self Made Mom is a movement for moms who want to thrive in their careers AND at home.

Our focus is on helping you recapture purpose, intention, and joy by tapping into shared experiences, expert advice, and real-world strategies that work for busy moms.

Get resources, confidence-boosting strategies, and a community of moms to help you succeed at work, at home, and in your relationships. You are not alone.

Moms: Do any of the following sound familiar?

  • I feel like I can’t advance my career and manage my home life at the same time

  • I’m not finding joy in work / I’m not finding joy at home

  • I don’t have enough time in the day to make it all work

  • My confidence in the workplace is lacking since becoming a mom

  • My needs always come last in my life as it is now

Through regular calls with our community, we cover topics like:

  • How to advance in your career while managing a family, and doing both things well

  • Daily plans for wellness and joy in your life

  • Time management techniques for juggling work and home life

  • Building the confidence to ask for that promotion, raise, or new opportunity

  • Training for development of core values, self worth and authenticity in your working mom life

What Is The Self Made Mom?

The Self Made Mom is a community, a coaching resource, and a mountain of practical resources designed specifically for busy moms who want to excel professionally

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step guides to help you enjoy your wonderful crazy life instead of just grinding it out

Why Join The Movement?

Imagine having the confidence to walk into any situation: whether it’s a boardroom or a business meeting and knowing that your skills as a mom aren’t holding you back, but propelling you forward.

Let’s flip the narrative and turn the everyday skills you’ve developed as a mom into powerful assets that set you apart in the workplace. Whether it’s multitasking, conflict resolution, or creative problem-solving, these aren’t just 'mom skills'; they’re high-demand professional strengths.

Let’s use your business acumen to smooth the rough edges of your home life too. Whether through communication, planning or strategy, you can create a home life that functions peacefully and intentionally. We will teach you how. 

The Self Made Mom provides tested and proven resources to help you build the life you’ve always wanted without sacrificing yourself in the process. From personalized career coaching to topic-based exercises and in-depth conversation, this is the next step in your quest to have it all.
