About Us

Listen to Your Mothers was born from the real-life experiences of moms navigating demanding careers while raising children. Despite our different backgrounds, our team has experienced firsthand the challenges of being both mothers and professionals, and wanted to do something about it. Between dinners, bedtimes, illnesses, new jobs, and family obligations, we set out to amplify what mothers already know they need, show that this isn’t just a “women’s issue,” and provide a clear call to action for employers.

Our journey actually started in high school, where Miriam and Andrea met — never imagining that 20 years later they would reunite as moms on a mission. Katrina and Miriam met working at a local education nonprofit before either of them were mothers, with Katrina shaping workplace policy as the head of HR and operations, and Miriam providing direct service to students applying to college. Miriam and Renée later worked closely together, supporting each other through pregnancies and leaves while supporting the students of Boston access high quality partner opportunities. These long-standing relationships and shared experiences shaped the way we collaborate and work together to this day, recognizing that we all bring something unique to the table.

From the start, we’ve been intentional about wanting to center and amplify the stories of mothers. That’s why we launched with a survey and report, gathering insights directly from moms to inform our work. Today, all of our strategies, including our MOMentum Calculator and services, are guided by those stories. By listening to mothers and focusing on employers as the unit of change, we turn lived experience into actionable solutions that help teams flourish and organizations thrive.
