I'm a mom to a toddler (and two pups) and I work full time. A little while ago, I went looking for my people.
I wanted other moms who got it. The moms who would give anything to spend every second with their kid, and who also work. Maybe because they want to. Maybe because they need to. I needed to connect with moms who feel the weight of a second income, the guilt of drop off, and the quiet pride of doing both. Who are figuring it out one week at a time (or one meeting and one tantrum at a time), just like me.
Every group I found assumed I was home during the week. Every event was at 10am on a random Wednesday. Every community seemed built for a version of motherhood that did not look like mine.
So I built what I could not find.
Working Mama Co is a mom club to build community for moms who are back at work, whose kids are growing fast, and who are done putting their need for connection last.
This is a space built around real life. We meet on weekends. We meet after 5pm. We get together for a glass of wine after bedtime. We check in during the week. We share what is actually going on. And most importantly, we build real friendships with others who understand this season without explanation.
Inside, you can expect connection, honest conversations, and a sense of belonging that does not disappear after the baby phase. No pressure to be perfect. No expectation to do more. Just a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported in it.
If that sounds like your people, I would love to have you.
Karla, founder of Working Mama Co
