Hi, I’m Katie, founder of Modern Motherhood Chicago and mom to two little girls on the north side of Chicago. I was inspired to create Modern Motherhood after my own experience becoming a mom for the first time and, more recently, doing it all over again with baby number two.

My first few years as a new mom were largely without an in-person mom community. I was surprised at how isolating it could be. Finding your people isn’t always as simple as showing up at a park or coffee shop, but I really needed friends who were navigating the same stage of life. There are so many changes after becoming a mom that I often found myself thinking, "Is this normal? Am I the only one feeling like this?"

My goal for Modern Motherhood is to bring new moms and moms with young children together through thoughtfully curated local groups, workshops, and events while also connecting moms to trusted experts in postpartum and women’s health. I want women to have the opportunity to get to know each other on a deeper level so I'm building groups that will help facilitate easier and more natural connections.

Finding your village shouldn’t have to happen by chance. Hope you can join us!
