Hey Badass,
We see you. You’re showing up, creating magic out of chaos, nurturing growth, leading in your own way, raising your kid, designing your life, breaking cycles, and holding it all together before most people have even started their day.
This space is for you, the corporate leaders and changemakers, the innovative founders and caregivers, the ones balancing work and story time.
The entrepreneurs writing pitch decks, the leaders presenting to executives, the professionals scheduling meetings around school pickups, and the mamas making it happen during bath time chaos.
Badass Mamas is where cycle-breaking mothers come to grow, heal, and lead with purpose, personally, professionally, and unapologetically. We’re a community of multi-hyphenated, working moms.
Badass Mamas is a community and storytelling platform for modern mothers redefining what leadership, love, and legacy look like. Through media, meetups, retreats, and coaching, we help women rise while raising others, turning shared stories into collective strength.

Motherhood can be beautiful, but it can also be lonely, depleting, and invisible, especially in a world that praises productivity.
We’re living in a time where:
Moms are burning out in silence
Generational cycles are being broken
Many of us are parenting without a village and healing without a roadmap
While there are countless parenting resources, there are few spaces made for the woman inside the mother. Badass Mamas exists to fill that gap.
Why now?
Our Values
-
Connection
We rise by lifting each other, rebuilding identity, purpose, and power through connection, cheering you on as you learn to celebrate yourself too.
-
Belonging
Bring all of you, the bold and the tender, the loud and the quiet. This is your space to be seen. There is power in being both soft and strong.
-
Legacy
We’re raising the next generation while raising ourselves. Every act of healing becomes a ripple of leadership and leaving behind our legacy.
-
Reclaim
By slowing down, we reclaim our time, our worth, and our peace, breaking cycles of overwork and self-sacrifice passed down through generations.
About the Cofounders
Jessalin Lam | CEO
About Jessalin, Chief Executive Officer:
I’m Jessalin, a coach, author, speaker, and mama. I’m the founder of Transform & Thrive and the author of The Visibility Mindset. I’ve spent years helping leaders and cycle-breakers reclaim their voice and lead with purpose.
Becoming a mother reshaped everything I thought I knew about visibility, healing, and leadership. It deepened my understanding of what it means to grow while holding so much for others.
Why Badass Mamas:
Badass Mamas was born from that in-between space, where we’re carrying so much and still trying to hold ourselves. This is the space I longed for in my own motherhood journey, and now I’m creating it for others because mothers deserve to grow not just for their kids, but for themselves.
Kat Richards | CSO
About Kat, Chief Strategy Officer:
I’m Kat, a strategist, connector, and unapologetic truth-teller who thrives at navigating life’s intersections: career ambition, motherhood, identity, and personal growth.
I’ve built a career solving complex problems head-on, but becoming a mother challenged me in ways no plan could prepare me for. I believe in creating spaces where women can be fully themselves, ambitious and vulnerable, messy and brilliant, without having to hide parts of who they are.
Why Badass Mamas:
I wanted to be a part of building and growing Badass Mamas because I was tired of spaces that only acknowledged fragments of my identity. I longed for a community where we could talk about leadership promotions, ongoing personal growth, starting a business, and toddler tantrums in the same breath. A space where we can share real stories without masking, and support each other in building lives that are ambitious & authentic.
What other mamas say
“When I became a new mom, my idea of adult conversation was asking my baby if she wanted ‘more milk or more nap.’ Then I joined Badass Mamas, and suddenly I was surrounded by women who spoke my language. Badass mamas created a space where I’ve found laughter, solidarity, and the kind of understanding you can’t Google. This community has cheered me on through work wins, life milestones, and those days when just making it to bedtime feels like a gold medal. It’s more than a group. It’s a lifeline.” - Hao
It’s so heartwarming to be a part of a community of women who are truly there to cheer each other on. There is no ego, there’s only how can I support you and uplift you as a sister and friend. Professional women are expected to do it all, which is unrealistic without a tribe. This is my extended tribe.” - Sara
“Being a new mom can feel isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people who love you. Joining Badass Mamas has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my baby. In this community, I’ve found real support, friends who not only cheer me on as a mom but also remind me to love and care for myself so I can show up as the best version of me for my little one.
Jessalin, the creator of this space, has truly changed my life. She’s been my friend, my support system, my mentor, my coach, and even a speaker at my own events. Her heart and leadership have built something extraordinary, a space that feels safe, uplifting, and real.
While I have wonderful mom friends here in Orlando, having a larger forum full of diverse voices and experiences has been invaluable. In Badass Mamas, I can listen, learn, laugh, vent, and just be. I don’t have to perform or put myself out there first to be met with honesty and compassion; it’s already waiting here.
This group has made me a better mom because it’s made me a better me. I’m endlessly grateful to have found a place where I can grow, connect, and continue striving to be a badass for myself and my baby.” - Abnia
