OUR WHY

You were told you had to choose.

We’re here to help you integrate.

MOMentum is Arizona’s premier leadership community for working mothers who

refuse to shrink their ambition or sacrifice their presence at home.

Chelsie Momentum

"Motherhood isn't a detour from leadership. It's the most intense leadership training on earth."

MEET YOUR CHAMPION

Chelsie Bruggeman

With over 20 years of experience as a marketing powerhouse, Chelsie spent two decades refining brands to communicate their value and attract their ideal audience. But as she navigated her own journey as a

working mother, she noticed a brand that was desperately in need of refining: The Working Mom.

She saw high-achieving women silently opting out, feeling the "invisible load" crush their professional confidence, and struggling to find a space where they didn't have to check their "mom brain" at the door.

Chelsie created MOMentum because she realized that working moms don’t lack ambition. They lack support designed for their reality. She built the container she needed: a place for brave conversations, practical growth, and the radical belief that our capacity as leaders is deepened by our motherhood, not weakened by it.

Our North Star

We don't do "hustle culture." We do integration, capacity awareness, and intentional growth.

Integration over Compartmentalization

Integration over Compartmentalization

Ambition without Apology

Ambition without Apology

Arizona

Our 10-Year Vision for Arizona

More mothers will occupy executive seats across Phoenix and beyond.

Corporate cultures will be shaped by empathetic, sustainable leadership.

Motherhood will be recognized as a competitive advantage in business.

Ambitious women will no longer "silently opt out" after their first child.
