It took a minute to really engage, but when I did, I realized that the membership is well worth it. It's opened up to the relationships I was looking to build for both business and community development! Thank you!

I had a so-so experience as a member, and then a pretty bad cancellation experience. I had signed up at the introductory rate and did not plan on renewing. I'd forgotten to cancel before the auto-renew hit my account -- this was really stressful because we just happened to be in a really precarious financial situation between jobs and right after the holidays. I reached out that day as soon as I saw the transaction and was told that "as a one-time courtesy", HeyMama would allow me to cancel, but I'd have to pay $75 in processing fees. I can't imagine why it costs HeyMama that much to remove my email/login. The language was also really confusing --- at first glance, for me, it read as though I'd be partially refunded at $275, and then also charged an additional $75 in cancellation fees. It took a couple emails back and forth to get clarity on that. It was frustrating and time-consuming, and I was still out $75 just to cancel in a time of financial stress for my family. As a member, I joined to find mentorship and community in my industry to assist me in a career change, but found it to be challenging and time consuming. I was also attracted by the prospect of being in a community of women supporting and lifting each other up. What I for the most part found were posts from online coaches that read more like ads. It's not impossible to find mentorship and community there, and if you are in the virtual assistant or digital marketing space, there are often job postings there and a warm referral, but for me, I didn't find it all that different than what I can do within a free site like Linkedin. I did find a job through HeyMama, and there were online events every so often that were a good way to meet people, and even a couple in person events in my area, but for me in my industry, they weren't valuable enough to justify the full cost of membership.

HeyMama is super valuable to me and my company. I've made many great connections, and every woman there - from the CEO & HeyMama staff to the members - is willing to share knowledge, connections and time. If you're considering joining HeyMama, and are willing to share your time, connections and knowledge with other amazing women, you'll get so much value out of your membership.

No local events in atlanta area to network

Having to agree to 6 months of membership at a time is ridiculous. When I asked them to please cancel as I was using none of the resources, they are not relevant to someone in my region as there are no meet-ups or talks near me. I was told it was not possible and they would continue to charge me. The resources may be helpful for those in cities with hubs but if you are not near one of those cities it has little value.

I have absolutely loved being a part of the Hey Mama community. It’s been such a great resource for networking, advice, referrals, exposure, partnerships and much more! Through the HM network I’ve been a guest on several podcasts, executed co-branded promotions and found influencers to name just a few ways it’s helped my business. But honestly, the best part is just chatting one-on-one with other accomplished mamas and making friends with women all over the country. The women I’ve met have such impressive collective experiences, so they give great advice, and it’s made me feel like I am not alone in my endeavors. I’ve found that you definitely get out of it what you put in and I am always happy to help the community in any way that I can.

Moms who are doing more deserve a place like HeyMama. Whether you're a mom founder, mom business owner, or corporate career mom, HeyMama community supports you. Having joined HeyMama, I have gained not only mom friends and a sense of belonging in a modern world for moms, but also personal and professional growth. Moreover, by engaging with the community, I also helped other mom entrepreneurs through business collaborations to help achieve their goals.

HeyMama has been such a haven of support for me. Not only is it an incredibly powerful network of really freakin' impressive professionals but it's also a community of incredible parents struggling and thriving in the same ways that I have. I've never been in a group so committed to self-improvement and uplifting others at the same time. I was able to do a full 180 career pivot thanks to the connections made within HeyMama and I am forever grateful for that!
