MEET YOUR CHAPTER LEADER
Hi, I’m Stephanie
Brand & Web Designer
MFM BGKY Chapter Leader
There's a moment every mom owning a business knows. The one where things are actually going well — clients are coming in, the kids are bathed and fed, the calendar doesn't look insane — and somehow the loneliness is louder than ever.
I moved to Bowling Green two years ago from Dallas, knowing only a handful of people. I work in the in-between — the naps, the meals, the margins between school pickup and bedtime. Most of my friends are still in Texas or living the 9-5 life. And I am, genuinely, someone who needs people — real ones, in real life.
I needed a room. A real one. With women who understand what it means to be building something while also just trying to keep tiny humans alive.
I'm a mom of three, brand and web designer, founder of Zel & Harlow Creative, and your Bowling Green chapter leader! I started this chapter because I know firsthand what it costs to build without community. And I know what changes when you finally find your people.
If you're reading this, I have a feeling you do too.
Most networking spaces were never built for moms.
The happy hours that happen at bedtime. The events where you walk in a stranger and walk out one too. The rooms where you have to choose — the baby or the business, never both.
Made for Mothers is a community for moms founded by Mariah Stockman, and built differently on purpose. We believe friendship is the funnel. We believe community is the greatest investment a woman in business can make. And we believe the question worth asking is not whether a business can survive motherhood — but what motherhood can unlock inside a woman. This is not a networking group. It is a village. And it is happening live in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

What’s Coming Up In BGKY
SEPTEMBER 24, 2026
OCTOBER 22, 2026
The First MEET UP
the launch party
The first ever Made For Mothers In Person Event for BG is HERE!!! We will be starting this party at The Lounge at 314. Get to know Mariah Stockman, each other, learn the flow of future events, and BUILD THE DAMN VILLAGE. Bring your babies, your strollers, whatever you have on your plate, and let’s kick this thing off with a bang!!
This is not a lecture. This is a room full of moms in business getting honest about what's working, what's not, and what becomes possible when we finally stop doing it all.
Bring your questions. Bring your brain. Bring the baby.
We'll see you there.
LESS BUSY. MORE PROFITABLE.
October's gathering is all about the thing every mom in business needs to hear: being busy is not the same as being successful. And your time? It is your most valuable resource. It's time we start treating it that way.
Our guest for this one is the incredible Ali Raymer of Peace & Pearl Travel Co. — and she is bringing a conversation that will genuinely change the way you look at your business.
We're talking about how to stop being the bottleneck in your own business. How to identify what to keep, what to delegate, and what to eliminate entirely. How to get crystal clear on your niche, lean into your most profitable work, and build the kind of confidence that lets you price based on your value — not just your hours.
Know Your People. Know Your Role. Know Your Worth.
Monthly community meet ups at 11:00am on the forth Thursday of the month at The Lounge at 314 off Main Street in Bowling Green. Each meet up gets a topic of discussion and a focus for you to leave with more than friendship and connections. Tickets open during each event for the following month's event.
Made for Mothers is for moms seeking real community—a village of moms running businesses who want more than just networking.
We want to have real conversations, engage in heartfelt breakout groups, and share challenges and solutions that we’re probably all facing.
The kind of space that allows you to say the things you have been holding since the last time you were in a room that actually got it. Big ambition and tiny hands, welcome in the same room at the same time.
The first time you walk in, you might not know anyone. By the third time, you won’t remember what that felt like.
This is what happens when the same women show up to the same room, month after month. The stranger becomes the familiar face. The familiar face becomes the friend. The friend becomes the referral, the collaborator, the person cheering loudest when you win. It feels like the best reunion you’ve ever been to, every single month.
You do not have to wait for the perfect moment to be part of this. You don’t even have to “feel ready”. You just have to be willing to build and encourage alongside an incredible group of women!
Drop your name and email below and we will let you know the moment something is happening near you — first.

IF YOU WANt more tHAN A MEETUP
The BG chapter is one room inside something much bigger — the Virtual Village, our private membership for moms in business who are done building alone, founded by Mariah Stockman. Inside, you will find 50+ masterclass replays, monthly hot seat coaching, real biz besties, collabs, referrals, and 160+ women who understand exactly what it feels like to carry both the baby and the business at the same time. First month is $19. The friendships tend to last a lot longer than that.
