I used to think the hardest part of single motherhood was doing it alone. I was wrong. The hardest part is finding your people while you're drowning.

​

I'm Rachael, a single mom to a 16-month-old son, working full-time, and building something I desperately needed to exist.

​​

​The Group That Changed Everything

A few months ago, exhausted from juggling work, motherhood, and everything in between, I walked into a divorced/single moms group in my hometown. I almost didn't go — who has time when you're barely keeping your head above water?

 

But I went. And it changed everything.

​

The Truth About Single Motherhood

That night, I realized how many different stories lead to single motherhood. I saw grief, courage, isolation, and determination all in one room. I saw women at every stage—contemplating change, making brave decisions, and rebuilding their lives. It was powerful and humbling.

​

That's when I realized single moms aren't a monolith.

​

We're not all divorced. We're not all the same story. We're widows, women who chose motherhood solo, women escaping toxic situations, women whose partners walked away, women building families through adoption or fertility treatments. We're women first. Mothers always. Building and rebuilding extraordinary lives, each in our own way.

​

My Own Journey

My son had a tough start to life. Those early months tested every ounce of strength I had. When he was 8 months old, I finally asked my ex to leave. The timing felt impossible—here was this tiny human who needed so much, who'd already been through so much, and I was choosing to upend his world again. But I knew that growing up in a home built on love, even with one parent, was better than staying because of the stigmas that follow single moms. It may be hard, but I knew it wasn't harder; it was just a different kind of hard with more hope.

​

Working full-time while navigating his medical needs, sleepless nights, and doing it all as a newly single mom — there were days I wondered if I'd made the right choice. If I was enough.

​

But in that room, surrounded by these incredible women, I found my answer: We are more than enough. We just need each other.

​

The Missing Piece

After that meeting, we stayed connected through an email chain, and some of us found each other on social media. Each month, we received new introductions—lawyers when we needed one, therapists who actually understood our journeys, and babysitters we could trust. What started in that room grew into real friendships. We celebrated each other's wins—first steps and new jobs. We became each other's support system outside those monthly meetings, texting through court dates and debriefing awkward first dates. We shared exactly what each person needed, exactly when they needed it.

​

And I kept thinking, why should finding this support be so hard? Why should it depend on stumbling into the right room at the right time?

​

Every single mom deserves this. Not just the lucky ones who find a local group. Not just the ones with time to search. All of us.

​

Building What We Need

So between diaper changes and Zoom calls, after bedtimes and before dawn wake-ups, I started building Mamentum.

Because every single mom deserves:

• To find her people without leaving her house at 11 PM

• Honest recommendations from moms who've been there

• A safe space to ask, "Am I making the right choice?" during those Sunday night spirals

• Connection with moms who understand that what you don't do after bedtime, your kids won't have in the morning

• Support for wherever you are in your journey—contemplating, transitioning, or thriving

​

For Every Mom In Every Stage

Mamentum is for:

• The mom lying awake, wondering if leaving is the right choice

• The mom who just made that choice and needs to know there's light ahead

• The mom who's been doing this for years and has wisdom to share

• The mom choosing motherhood on her own terms

• The mom rebuilding after loss

• Every mom who refuses to settle for less than she and her children deserve

​

This Is Our Moment

To every single mom reading this: Your story matters. Your journey is valid. Your strength is extraordinary.

Whether you're contemplating a massive life change, in the messy middle of transition, or building your new normal—you're not alone. Not anymore.

​

Mamentum isn't just an app I'm building. It's the digital version of that life-changing night. It's the group chat that saved my sanity. It's the crew we're all searching for, available whenever you need it.

​

Join Us

I'm still that mom working full-time, raising my son, and navigating his needs and mine. But now I'm also building the tool I wished existed during my darkest moments. Every feature comes from real conversations with real moms. Every design choice centers on making your life easier, not harder.

​

Because we don't just survive single motherhood. We redefine it. Together.

​

Welcome to Mamentum. We got you. And we mean it. 💪
