About Monica Froese

Hi! I am thrilled that you’re here.

My name is Monica Froese and I live in Buffalo, NY with my husband and our two beautiful girls.

I have a deep desire to help moms thrive at home and work. I’m a strong believer that guilt has no place in motherhood.

In fact, one of my mottos is I’m not a stay-at-home and I feel zero guilt about my choice to work.

Here at Redefining Mom

we strive to empower women to build a life that fits their own unique family value system. As moms, we know that everything we do is with the intent to give our children a better life.

Redefining Mom did NOT start with the intention of becoming a business. I was looking for a place to vent about the not-so-great maternity leave policies in the United States.

I started Redefining Mom seven months after our first daughter was born as a way to cope with severe postpartum PTSD. I was unaware that I was suffering from it at the time, but I knew something was not quite right.

In April 2015 I was invited by the White House

to share feedback with the President of the United States on my experience as a working mom.

I left the White House on FIRE to make a difference in the lives of working moms.

I went home and got right to work.

I took the skills I had learned over the last decade while earning my Masters in Business and running multi-million dollar marketing campaigns for brands like Microsoft and HP and dove headfirst into learning how to make Pinterest work in my own business.

By early 2015 I have official quit my corporate career after 11 years.
