Impressive Momtrepreneurs

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to own your own business? In honor of Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight a few female entrepreneurs we admire who are killing it in their professional space. As if being a woman and mom isn’t challenging enough, being a mom who is also an entrepreneur is seriously next level! We take our hats off to these amazing momtrepreneurs! Many started with fulfilling careers, but ones that didn’t allow them the time they craved for their families. These moms appear to be expert jugglers and we’re thrilled to support them!

Speaking of amazing women…in case you missed it, be sure to check out Erin’s interview with LTK President and Co-Founder Amber Venz Box, here. It’s so inspiring!

 

#1) Susan Yara

Susan Yara is your skincare mom! She’s a journalist/reporter, turned beauty influencer turned successful business owner of Naturium Skincare. Oh, and she’s a mom to her adorable little boy too! Naturium is a clean skincare product line that is thoughtfully formulated and affordable. Susan’s YouTube videos are not only informative and scientific, but she’s incredibly relatable, engaging and knowledgeable. Her makeup shorts on IG are some of my absolute favorites. She’s tackling the influencer space and her beauty empire looking gorgeous and confident every step of the way.

#3) Lenise Williams

Lenise is an attorney turned entrepreneur, mother of two, and founder of .made Leather Co., a luxury leather goods brand. After being invited to speak at a United Nations conference in Marrakech (impressed yet?), she fell in love with the leather goods and tanneries there and so began her journey to create products handcrafted by talented Moroccan artisans. Her passion project became widely successful when her bags caught the eye of several NFL players. From that point, the media buzz ensued and her success sky-rocketed.

Thanks to the power of social media, there are endless options for today’s aspiring momtrepreneur. Influencer marketing isn’t necessarily just a side-hustle. It’s a serious career with executive-level decisions and opportunities. Susie Wright knows this firsthand! She’s an Oregon-based, former Nordstrom buyer and personal stylist who now puts all her knowledge and style passion into her blog, So Susie. This mom of 3 is a frequent contributor on the Who What Wear blog, providing her style expertise for women 40+.

Jaclyn started her IG account 3 years ago with a homemade logo. Fast forward to 2022, she’s the President of Jacklyn James Company with her own lines of home interiors and coffee. She’s a self-proclaimed jeans and t-shirt with fancy shoes kind of gal, but make no mistake, she means business! This momtrepreneur blogger shares home content, cooks, bakes and makes the most amazing coffee videos! Spending time with her on IG makes you feel like you’re having a great (albeit one-sided) chat with a friend!

After staying home for 20+ years to raise her 3 boys, Beth of Style At A Certain Age had some inhibitions about re-entering the workforce.

Now, this Georgia-based influencer has over 240K IG followers and hasn’t looked back, proving it’s never too late to follow your dreams and do what you love.
