Our story

A space for mothers to feel seen, heard and supported without judgment.


Motherhood can be beautiful, complicated, joyful, lonely and transformative, sometimes all at once. Here, we make room for the honest version.

We honor the ambition, healing, creativity, leadership and lives of mothers beyond the title. You do not have to agree to belong here.

Meet the founder

Nicole Strother

Nicole Strother is a mother, author of a forthcoming book on motherhood, and the founder of I AM A MOTHER. After losing her own mother at 10 and being raised by her grandmother and a community of women who stepped in, Nicole knows firsthand what it means to need a village and what it means to find one.

She created I AM A MOTHER as a lifestyle brand that honors the full identity, strength and lived experience of mothers. When she moved across the country, her own village became harder to reach. Since the pandemic, she's been reshaping it from where she is now. Through intimate conversations, shared resources and the forthcoming I AM A MOTHER Conference, Nicole is rebuilding that village: a space where mothers feel seen, supported and reminded that they are more than enough.
