THAT COMMUNITY

MEET YOUR CHAPTER LEADER
Hi, I’m Sydney
Brand & Web Designer
MFM DFW Chapter Leader
I believe there’s is a moment every mom owning a business knows. The one where everything in business and at home feels good, but the feeling of isolation has never been higher.
As someone who could yap with a literal wall for hours, ya girl needs some adult interaction time. Working from home with your kids, and all your friends working a 9-5 makes it super hard to schedule this time in…
*Made For Mothers starts the chat* I started leading the DFW MFM Chapter after meeting so many new friends in the Virtual Village, and a few here in DFW already through MFM. The connections can’t be beat — it’s a whole group of moms who get it.
I’m building this because I needed it. And if you are reading this — you probably do too.
Most networking spaces were never built for moms.
The happy hours that happen at bedtime. The events where you walk in a stranger and walk out one too. The rooms where you have to choose — the baby or the business, never both.
Made for Mothers is a community for moms founded by Mariah Stockman, and built differently on purpose. We believe friendship is the funnel. We believe community is the greatest investment a woman in business can make. And we believe the question worth asking is not whether a business can survive motherhood — but what motherhood can unlock inside a woman. This is not a networking group. It is a village. And it is happening live in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
IT'S NOT JUST ANOTHER MOM GROUP EITHER

The First Room
the launch party
The first ever Made For Mothers In Person Event for DFW is HERE!!! We will be starting this party at The Kindred Keller. Get to know each other, learn the flow of future events, and BUILD THE DAMN VILLAGE. Bring your babies, your strollers, whatever you have on your plate, and let’s kick this thing off with a bang!!
Plan Your
Profitable Q4
A 90-minute working session for moms in business to get a plan in place before year-end client crunch. Bring your laptop and join Alex and Annie for a guided framework on revenue goals, your content calendar through December, and a real look at how your family and business finances overlap, so you walk out with an actual plan instead of just a to-do list.
Monthly community meet ups at 10:30am on the second Thursday of the month at The Kindred in Keller, Texas. Each meet up gets a topic of discussion and a focus for you to leave with more than friendship and connections. Tickets open during each event for the following month's event.

The village that built me
November is all about gratitude! Join us at the Kindred to dive into all the things we are so grateful for when it comes to being a mom, a ceo mom, and a good, kind human!
fAVORITE THINGS PARTY
Our first Favorite Things Party! Bring your favorite thing, or the product you sell, to trade in a white elephant type exchange party! We'll share what we love about what we do, and get to spend some magical holiday time with our favorite biz besties before the holiday crazies take full effect! See you there, merry and bright!
Made for Mothers is for moms seeking real community—a village of moms running businesses who want more than just networking.
We want to have real conversations, engage in heartfelt breakout groups, and share challenges and solutions that we’re probably all facing.
The kind of space that allows you to say the things you have been holding since the last time you were in a room that actually got it. Big ambition and tiny hands, welcome in the same room at the same time.
The first time you walk in, you might not know anyone. By the third time, you won’t remember what that felt like.
This is what happens when the same women show up to the same room, month after month. The stranger becomes the familiar face. The familiar face becomes the friend. The friend becomes the referral, the collaborator, the person cheering loudest when you win. It feels like the best reunion you’ve ever been to, every single month.

You do not have to wait for the perfect moment to be part of this. You don’t even have to “feel ready”. You just have to be willing to build and encourage alongside an incredible group of women!
Drop your name and email below and we will let you know the moment something is happening near you — first.
IF YOU WANt more tHAN A MEETUP
The DFW chapter is one room inside something much bigger — the Virtual Village, our private membership for moms in business who are done building alone, founded by Mariah Stockman. Inside, you will find 50+ masterclass replays, monthly hot seat coaching, real biz besties, collabs, referrals, and 160+ women who understand exactly what it feels like to carry both the baby and the business at the same time. First month is $19. The friendships tend to last a lot longer than that.
