Who We Feature and Why

Mothered is a quarterly editorial publication documenting how motherhood reshapes work, power, and leadership.

We feature women whose work, thinking, and lived experience illuminate this shift - not because motherhood is their story, but because it is the inflection point.

Contributors are selected for clarity, depth, and influence — not virality.

What It Means to Be Featured

A feature in Mothered is not a guest post.

It is a long-form editorial record of a woman’s thinking, leadership, and evolution after motherhood.

Contributors are interviewed and edited with intention.
Each feature is designed to stand on its own and to live beyond the issue it appears in.

This is not visibility for visibility’s sake.
It is documentation.

Who We Feature

Mothered features women across industries and roles, including:

  • Founders and executives

  • Cultural and thought leaders

  • Operators, strategists, and builders

  • Researchers, writers, and advocates

  • Women shaping how work is done - formally or informally

Some contributors lead from the front. Others influence from within.

What matters is not title, but impact.
