The safe space specifically designed to support business - owning mums

and their Co

About Mums & Co

Our mission is to support Australia’s business-owning mums

The movement that…
Introduces #mumbitious women―like you―to the co-founder you likely never had (and won’t want to live without)

Celebrates your Little Co (family) as your cutest business sidekick rather than a distraction

Supports you with relevant, specific and up-to-date expert advice from business leaders to achieve your business growth

Helps you develop and expand trusted relationships with like minded people in community network events

We promote business networking and exposure.

We deliver the tools and knowledge to upgrade your skills and confidence.

Life’s a balancing act. Why not do it together?

The juggle is real. We get it.

Because we’re a movement for women by women.

And we’re shaking things up. Together.

Inspiring Connections

Meet fellow mums in business who are all following their dreams to harmonise their ambitions, livelihood and wellbeing. Grow your business network with our handy member directory, find your personal cheer squad locally or nationally by creating connections in our digital meetups and know that you’re part of something bigger. A movement of #mumbitious mums all working towards the same goal.

Resources when it suits you

We've heard that sometimes business doesn't suit business owning mums. You know, events during the witching hour on a school night. Courses that take away from family time. That's why Mums & Co has resources available to you 24/7 so you can tap into them at a time that suits you as a busy mum and events during school hours so you don't have to juggle pick-ups.

Uplifting Safely

Finding and connecting with fellow mums who understand what it means to run a business and raise a family is incredibly powerful. Mums & Co is your safe environment to network, grow and connect no matter what stage of business or parenthood you’re in. A support network for women who seek business growth and success in motherhood. We bring together business-owning mums―like you―so you feel heard, seen and supported. With the right cheer squad by your side winning at the juggle of business and parenthood suddenly seems possible.

Rising Confidence

When you wear all the hats, self-doubt can be a real issue. Mums & Co gives you access to relevant, specific and up-to-date resources that support you on your business and parenthood journey. Because we know that for business-owning mums the two go hand in hand.

Meet Team Mums & Co

Hi, I’m Carrie, Co-Founder of Mums & Co

Mums & Co launched when I had a toddler to my name and was seven months pregnant with my second son. So I know a thing or two about the juggle.

To some, it may seem crazy to take on such a massive challenge when my life was about to be turned upside down. To others―I’m talking about mums like us―it makes perfect sense. As mums we know that timing will never be perfect.

I bet you know what it feels like to come across an idea that just lights you up in so many ways. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. For me, Mums & Co was that idea. A support network program for women in business with mumbitions.

Australia's largest general insurer IAG approached me to help them create a safe online space for business-owning mums so they could realise their dreams both in business and in life. I seemed to fit the bill partly because I had successfully founded and grown the popular insider's digital lifestyle guide, Daily Addict, partly because I was passionate about mentoring female business owners in the early days of their business journey. 

So how could I resist? There really was no better way to prove that you don’t have to choose between parenthood and your career. Because you don’t.

Today the Mums & Co team has grown to a small team of 5 incredible women―all with unique ambitions―and our movement is living proof that women today are choosing to follow their dreams in all aspects of their lives. And I love that we’re giving all women a safe environment to connect, grow and learn together.

Stay mumbitious! 
Carrie

Lily Godfrey, Sales & Marketing Coordinator

Hello! I’m Lily – the Sales & Marketing coordinator at Mums & Co. I joined in 2023 after searching for a team who understood the balance of raising a small child while working on your career. I found my dream team and community at Mums & Co. I’m passionate about wanting to make a positive difference in both my immediate ‘co’ and world and believe part of this can be achieved with more women in positions of power and leader roles. In my spare time I absolutely love being outside - at the beach or going for walks with my gorgeous little boy and traveling with my husband.
