Deep dives
Community Building for Women
Front Row Moms aims to establish a supportive community for women who are balancing family and career. The founders emphasize the need for women to reject the idea of having to choose between professional success and family presence. By fostering meaningful connections, the initiative allows women to redefine what it means to 'have it all' while prioritizing health, family, and personal fulfillment. This community also facilitates honest conversations among like-minded women, providing a platform for shared experiences and encouragement.
The Individual Journeys of Founders
Megan shares her journey of starting as a high-powered executive, realizing the challenges of juggling work and motherhood. Faced with societal expectations and feeling overwhelmed, she pursued personal development and ultimately founded her consulting business for greater flexibility. Angie recounts her encounters with personal fears about balancing work and motherhood, leading her to seek community support during challenging times. Together, their stories highlight the importance of creating a space for women to connect and thrive.
Defining the Ideal Member
The ideal member of Front Row Moms is a woman balancing family obligations and professional ambitions, often with children aged between 7 to 14. She possesses a strong desire for personal growth and community support while navigating the complexities of motherhood, career, and relationships. This woman values her health and has a genuine curiosity to learn and evolve, seeking connection with others who share similar goals. Above all, she is willing to invest in herself and her community to uplift not only her own life but also the lives of those around her.
Retreats and Events as Transformative Experiences
The Front Row Moms community hosts events that blend personal growth, connection, and physical movement, fostering a transformative environment for attendees. Upcoming retreats will offer workshops and activities designed to address challenges such as conflict resolution in relationships and energy management for busy lives. These events provide opportunities for women to bond, share experiences, and collaborate in a supportive setting. The blend of learning, movement, and reflection allows participants to return home feeling revitalized and empowered.
Encouragement to Step Out of Comfort Zones
The founders encourage potential members to view joining Front Row Moms as an investment in themselves rather than a luxury they cannot afford. They highlight the hesitation experienced by many women when it comes to taking time away from family, illustrating how this time can ultimately benefit the entire family unit. Women are invited to challenge the notion that they cannot step away and instead embrace opportunities for personal growth and community connection. By sharing their experiences and fostering a culture of support, Front Row Moms empowers women to take the leap and prioritize their own well-being.
In this week’s podcast, I sat down with Angie Macdougall and Megan Corey—the founders of Front Row Moms—to talk about the raw, unfiltered journey behind this growing movement. It’s a space for women who refuse to choose between ambition and presence… between building a meaningful life and actually living it.
But this isn’t just their story.
It’s also an invitation—for the husband, father, brother, or friend—who knows a woman like this:
She’s a mom with big dreams.
She leads a team, a business, or a mission.
She’s juggling a lot and somehow still showing up for everyone else.
A woman who:
❤️ Craves being present for what matters most
💡 Longs for real conversations—not just highlight reels
🎯 Is raising kids, building something meaningful, and still searching for space to be herself
