Survival to Strategy: Why I Built The Innovative Mom®
Fifteen years ago, I was a divorced, single mom of five—juggling bills, dreams, and faith. I worked 3 jobs 7 days a week to make sure that I provided for my family. I didn’t know it then, but I was building the foundation for what would become The Innovative Mom®: a global platform to support, educate, empower, and nurture moms through every phase of life.
Today, The Innovative Mom is more than a brand—it’s a movement. There were many pauses in the build (two strokes, multiple health issues, and most recently being laid off), I’ve bootstrapped, worked behind the scenes without ceasing to help homeless single mothers across the globe, and I can say it wasn’t easy but I’m still standing and still building. A reminder that motherhood is not a limitation; it’s a launchpad for innovation, leadership, and legacy. All 5 kids are now young adults (amazing young adults 🤩 ) and I’m an empty nester pivoting.
I’m here for the pivot, for the growth, for moms globally!
So many great things are brewing and I’m just as excited now as I was when I started. Like I used to tell my kids, just hang in there with me, things are going to be amazing 💛
