Mother Maybe & Co. is a family design firm that specializes in personal development education and consulting options for christian women and faith based organizations.

 

Before a woman is called “mother” there is much to explore, uncover and declare. There is an artistry to behold. Reconcile the past while establishing a foundation for the future. Select raw materials from life experiences to build values, customs and traditions. Fortify God’s intent for motherhood among the pillars of career, community and culture. This is work worth doing. This is family design.

We journey with single women before their heart whispers, “He’s the one”. We hold the space between, “I do” for a new bride and “It’s a girl” for the mom to be. This space before and in between is sacred. This space is Mother Maybe.

Small Beginnings

On October 22, 2016 a small group of single and married women were invited to meet around the idea of preparing for the role of motherhood. These women experienced portions of the Considering Motherhood course and the response was overwhelming. That small group of women shared their experiences with friends and family, a community emerged. Those further along on their parenting journey who heard about the course wished it existed earlier to help them prepare for their transition to motherhood. The work continued and the mission of MOTHER MAYBE & CO. became clear, to inspire and equip women to design their motherhood identity.

What women are saying…

““I would recommend working with Mother Maybe & Co. It allows you to think past all the cuteness of having a baby. Everyone I’ve spoken to about the program agrees that this is what every woman should do to prepare for a baby.””
— Rachel D.
““This experience was eye opening and birthed confidence to go towards motherhood knowing I’m on a path to creating the type of mother I’m striving to be.””
— Patrice O.
““What impacted me the most was reflecting on what kind of mom I want to be. It was so meaningful to think about what kind of mom I will be in the future. I loved reflecting on my childhood it made me realize how blessed I was growing up, and what things I didn’t like growing up.””
— Heather L.
““This should be a part of every woman’s life, to explore if motherhood is something she desires and how to go about it if she so decides.””
— Patrice O.
