Being a work-from-home mom is way more isolating than anyone tells you. That was the gap I kept feeling, and it's exactly why I said yes to this.

I'm officially the Providence, Rhode Island chapter leader for Made for Mothers, and in this episode I'm telling you the whole story of how it happened. From transitioning out of photography and into coaching, to stumbling onto a Made for Mothers Instagram post in May, to realizing there was this gap between professional networking spaces and postpartum mom circles that nothing was filling. I talk through the moment I almost talked myself out of it, what actually made me say yes, and everything I'm envisioning for our first in-person meetups here in Providence this fall.

In this episode, you'll hear me talk about:

• The isolation nobody warns you about when you run a business from home
• How I found Made for Mothers and what made it feel like a "why wouldn't I do this" moment
• The gap I kept running into between professional networking groups and early postpartum mom circles
• What almost stopped me from saying yes, and the moment that made the decision clear
• What to expect from Providence chapter meetups, including format, pricing, and how kid-friendly it'll be
• How to join the waitlist for first access to our launch party and event tickets
