Our Community, Our Stories
The She is Mom community is filled with women who know a thing or two about overcoming challenges with grace. Their stories radiate resilience and empowerment, showcasing the strength found in unity.
The first success story of the She is Mom community is about a a single mom in our community needed a remote part-time job to care for her toddler without childcare.
We listened with open hearts as she shared her struggles. Together, we channeled the power of empathy into meaningful action.
We crafted a video that captured her indomitable spirit. Our voices amplified her worth. Through relentless advocacy, we opened doors of opportunity.
In just two weeks, the impossible became possible. This remarkable woman secured a remote job, achieving the delicate balance between providing for her child and caring for him at home.
Against all odds, one courageous mother triumphed over adversity with the help of a compassionate community.
Nicoleta Neacsu and Loredana Iacob have made quite the journey within the She is Mom community. These two former corporate professionals turned entrepreneurs started out facing a common struggle - adjusting to the self-discipline and goal-setting required when you are your own boss.
Out of this shared experience grew an important question: "How can we help each other?" The answer was the "Growth Partnership" pilot program, where Loredana and Nicoleta provided guidance and support to 16 fellow moms, entrepreneurs, and ambitious women in small groups. The program was a resounding success based on participant feedback. Energized by the pilot, Loredana and Nicoleta resolved to extend this support to the whole community.
What started as mutual support between two women has grown into a full-fledged community empowerment initiative.
In response to the challenges faced by Ukrainian mothers affected by the war, She is Mom partnered with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to launch the "Career Development Programme for Ukrainian Mothers."
This initiative aimed to enhance the livelihoods of women impacted by the conflict. Over 300 mothers have benefited from the program, including Olga, who shared her poignant journey.
Forced to flee Ukraine with her two children due to the war, Olga left behind her life, loved ones, and career. Yet, she maintained her determination to pursue a better future.
With the support of She is Mom, Olga found solace and guidance. Mentors helped her craft a compelling CV and LinkedIn profile, offered career advice, and bolstered her confidence. Today, as a compliance auditor, Olga stands as a testament to the program's success, embodying resilience and renewed hope for the future.
