Who Are Career Moms?

Empowering ambitious women with strategies, planning tips, and inspiration to balance, grow, and succeed

By: Dr. Debranetta, Mom, Strategist, Researcher, Chief of Staff

Career Moms are ambitious women who are dedicated to their roles as mothers and also seek meaningful and successful careers.  Career moms are go-getters who wear many hats.  We are women who rely on strategy, proper planning and grace.

As mothers, it’s natural to put our own dreams on hold to ensure everyone else is cared for. And while sacrifices are sometimes necessary, career moms strive for balance. Our goal is not only to nurture our families but also to fulfill our purpose, pursue our calling, and chase our dreams with our children and loved ones alongside us.

Having a career requires intentional effort.  Webster’s definition of a career is a field or pursuit of consecutive progressive achievement, especially in public, professional, or business life.  A career is something you pursue not just something you do.  Skill development and a track record of growth are two indicators of a career mindset as opposed to a work mindset. 

Your industry of work does not define “career”. Career Moms work in a variety of fields such as finance, healthcare, child care, education, science, the arts, government, private business, private practice, etc. Remember the common thread for a career is the desire for progressive achievement and success.

Every career mom has a different paradigm of what success looks like but the common thread is the desire to balance, grow and succeed in every role!

About Me

I’m Dr. Debranetta, a proud career mom, strategist, and advocate for women balancing ambition alongside motherhood. I know from my personal experiences the challenges of managing a household, raising children, and pursuing a career and other endeavors, while striving for excellence and practicing self-care. That’s why I created this blog. Career Mom Community. At the time of creation I wanted women to understand that careers are purposeful. So too is motherhood. And the beauty of it all is that both can co-exist. Will it be perfect? No. Oftentimes not at all. So this space was designed to inspire and equip moms with strategies, tools, and encouragement to thrive in both their personal and professional lives.

With a background that spans business leadership, strategy, and professional development, I bring a blend of academic insight and lived experience to this platform, my coaching tools, and resources. More importantly, I’m a mom who believes that our dreams don’t end when motherhood begins. Instead, they expand by the grace of God.

In this community and through the resources, you’ll find practical planning tips, motivational resources, and stories that remind you that you can accomplish anything. Be encouraged!
