WHAT THE HELL IS
MOTHERS MEETING?
When our founder Jenny Scott launched Mothers Meeting back in 2010, after the birth of her first child, Sonny, she did so for one reason: when you don’t know what you are doing (and does anyone?) that first step into motherhood can be lonely as hell. And isolating. And daunting. Not to mention disconcerting, as you make the transition from your old life – with your own identity, whatever that might have been, that you forged yourself through your job, your values, your friends, your cultural tastes – to the lack of control, and the loss of identity, that new parenthood can bring.
But what if becoming a mum wasn’t the end, but rather the beginning? What if this was your chance to transform the way you live – from your work to your friendships? The stepping stone between isolation and success (be that ‘success’ as a stay-at-home mum or as a bad-ass careerwoman, or something between) is connection. And that, my friend, is where MM steps in.
Whether you are looking for like-minded mamas to whatsapp at 3am, or a business mentor to help you realise your kicking career ambitions, Mothers Meeting is a powerful and empowering network of thousands of women worldwide who can support you on this new journey. Somewhere to laugh, cry, make friendships that will change your life, build a sisterhood, and learn skills you never knew you had, MM is an online and IRL platform bringing together the many facets of your life and your identity. We understand that this new identity - as a ‘mother’ rather than as ‘you’ - can be hard to comes to terms with and we are here to show you that motherhood is something to be proud of and celebrate; that no matter how you want to play it, it is a new role that brings with it new purpose, drive and possibilities for connections that will change your life for the better.
Through our online platforms, events, business clubs, and podcasts, we have worked with top brands from Nike to the Outnet, while helping grow some of the most influential instamums and entrepreneurs – from Mother of Daughters to Tiba and Marl. But we don’t care how many followers you have, where you shop or what motherhood means to you. We are all our own versions of motherhood. Whoever you are, whatever you do, this is your place to connect, meet, grow and support a tribe of women who like you are navigating their own path through the crazy journey, whatever yours might look like.
