Working moms are not struggling, they are being underserved. The Mom Pact identifies what the system gets wrong and uses real women’s stories, data, and lived experience to expose the truth and build a clear blueprint for the change working moms have been waiting for.
Working moms aren’t the issue.
The system they’re forced to navigate is.
You're Not Alone in This.
The system is failing for working moms.
The Mom Pact confronts a simple truth: working moms are not the issue; the system is. Through real women’s stories and research-backed insight, we expose where the system breaks down and push for the policy shifts required to fix it.
For too long, working moms have been left to shoulder the consequences of a structure that has not evolved. The Mom Pact brings forward the evidence and lived experiences decision-makers can no longer ignore, ensuring the conversation moves toward real and necessary reform.

“The Mom Pact helped me get clear on what I want long-term and how to ask for it confidently.”
“Molly guided me through one of the most important conversations of my career: advocating for a larger role and the potential for equity. My number one priority was being there for my kids until they both started school, and now, with that season behind me, I’m revisiting full-time opportunities with a clear strategy and renewed confidence. I’ve gone from full-time work to entrepreneurship to two part-time corporate roles that align with my values and goals. For the first time, I’m building a career on my terms.”
