About the Founder

Hi, I’m Vanessa — girl mom, ChapStick addict, corporate leader, and founder of Momkind Collective.

After years of juggling a full-time career and full-time motherhood (because let’s be honest, that’s what it is), I found myself craving real connection. Not just another mom group or Instagram quote, but a space where the chaos could be acknowledged and celebrated. A space where we could be honest about the mess and still root for each other to thrive.

I’ve spent over 15 years in Learning & Talent Development, building programs that help people grow — from early career support to leadership coaching, culture-building, performance, and employee engagement. I’m a certified 360 coach and Change practitioner, and I’ve always had a passion for bringing people together.

But my greatest teachers? My two daughters. They’re bold, bright, wildly different and they’ve taught me how beautiful (and exhausting) motherhood can be. I love cheering them on from the sidelines, morning cuddles, and their belly laughs. But I also struggle with patience, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and the deep resistance to asking for help.

Momkind Collective was born out of real conversations — with my friends, with myself, (with my therapist), with other moms who felt like they were doing it all and still feeling alone. This space is my love letter to the village we all deserve:

• A community where you feel seen

• A place to learn from each other

• And a reminder that you weren’t meant to do this alone

Whether you’re navigating mom guilt, burnout, ambition, joy, or all of the above — you belong here.

Welcome to the Collective. Let’s do this together. 💛

With love,

        Vanessa
