A supportive community for and by working moms of all ages and stages.
(It takes a village. Come find yours!)
Working motherhood is a rollercoaster...
You love to work...
you love being a mom...
yet you're lacking support in both...

Take it from our members.
We’re pretty damn awesome.

Regardless of what you have going on or what you're considering, this community will get behind you with a rally cry, connections, advice, or votes of support.

The Society of Working Moms is the kind of space you didn’t know you needed until you’re in it. It’s the friend who actually listens instead of just waiting for her turn to talk. Here, working moms are figuring it all out together—without the pressure to pretend we already have.

SOWM is a place I can go to feel uplifted, feel supported, feel seen, and feel understood as a working mama. I especially treasure our weekly coaching sessions.

My favorite thing is the respect we all have for each other as working moms regardless of our situations, because we know how much grit, endurance, and courage it takes!

I’m so incredibly grateful for this group! It is exactly what I need at this stage of working motherhood. The weekly coaching sessions are valuable on their own, but I’ve also formed real friendships, gained insight from a wide range of viewpoints and received encouragement time and time again.

This community walks the walk. It provides a safe space for working moms, who, between their jobs and their children, are inevitably "on" 24/7... we laugh together, learn from each other, cry a little and lift each other up.

Imagine the wisdom of LinkedIn, the community-driven discussions of Reddit, and the lighthearted memes of Facebook, all combined into one platform. What sets SOWM apart from the social platforms mentioned above is the authenticity, deep connections, and judgement-free environment.

As a new business owner, I missed having coworkers to connect with during the day—until I found the Society of Working Moms. This community became my go-to support system, especially the 'biz owners' channel, where I connect with fellow entrepreneurs.

I love the vulnerability and safety to be vulnerable. Too many times, working moms are met with shame or judgement. That doesn't happen here.

When I joined SOWM, I had no idea what to expect... I was simply looking for new ways to network. What I ended up finding is a nurturing community of inspiring, courageous, and supportive individuals who celebrate each other through the journey of motherhood and career.

There’s so much authenticity and realness in this group... Cheers to these incredible ladies! You all truly fill my cup. If you’re a working mom trying to navigate it all, having a community like this makes all the difference.

You can be yourself, ask any questions, support other moms, ask for feedback. Plus, I'm learning a lot that I didn't know I needed to know, especially through the coaching... I'm learning to make time for myself.

[SOWM is] a thriving community of brilliance and warmth, where you can ask about breast pump recommendations and resume advice in the same breath—and the best part? We all get it, and it is totally (and I mean this) judgement free.

I work 100% remotely and just moved to a new city. SOWM has kept me from feeling isolated. It connects me to a community larger than the 4 walls of my house and gives me a "water cooler" when I need it. I even found my current job through a SOWM connection!

Why SOWM?
High-Touch,
Low-Cost
Our dedicated and hands-on community manager ensures that members are getting the most of their membership, including comprehensive onboarding, a weekly newsletter with highlights from the Slack community, and thoughtfully curated “bonuses.”
Reciprocal,
Not Transactional
SOWM is first and foremost a place to get and give mom-to-mom support, not a place to build your business pipeline. While some of our members offer services or products that other members benefit from, we work hard to uphold our community guidelines, which include a strict no-sales policy.
Built-In
Coaching
Members have access to weekly coaching conversations led by our Head of Coaching, Jess Ringgenberg, PCC of ELIXR Coaching & Consulting. Topics are voted on by group members and, outside of the dedicated hour of coaching, members can chat async on the themes throughout the week in a dedicated coaching channel!
Curated
Networking
In addition to an unabashedly supportive online community, we have regular touch points (as frequently as weekly, if you choose!) to connect 1:1 and in small groups with other awesome working moms outside of Slack.
The No-Stakes
Book Club
A book club designed specifically for busy moms. We give ourselves grace and time to read (or listen to!) books, pacing ourselves at one title per quarter. All are welcome, whether they’ve read or not! We end with a free author book chat when possible!
