A power shift.

Something irreversible happens after motherhood.

Not just emotionally, but structurally.

Women’s relationship to time changes. To risk, ambition, and authority.

Mothered exists because this shift deserves documentation, not dilution. It exists for the moms who feel this shift.

For working mothers who sense that their ambition didn’t disappear.

For the leaders and builders who understand that motherhood doesn’t end careers, and for those shaping what comes next.
