Mthr Land (noun)- a place working moms often find themselves in. The ebb and flow of balancing family and career.

mthr.land is a storytelling project about what happens to women when they become mothers — the subtle and not-so-subtle ways ambition, identity, power, and possibility shift across seasons of life.

Motherhood is not one decision. It’s thousands. Some are visible. Many are not. And over time, they compound.

At mthr.land, we explore those choices through long-form conversations, written interviews, and personal reflections with women at different stages of their “motherland” — from early motherhood to midlife reckoning to the years when children begin to leave home.

This space is for women asking questions like:

• Am I enough for my children and for my work?

• What parts of myself have changed — or disappeared — without my noticing?

• What did I think motherhood would be, and what did it actually become?

Some stories here are written. Some are spoken. Some live in both forms. All of them are rooted in honesty, nuance, and respect for the complexity of women’s lives.

Here you’ll find thoughtful conversations, interviews, essays, and reflections from women at different stages of motherhood — and soon, you’ll also hear these stories in our podcast.
