HeyMama has been an amazing positive… HeyMama has been an amazing positive impact in my life since I joined. Connecting with other like minded hard working moms has been a crucial support system for me. My own mom did not work, and it has taken years to get her to understand that my work is my choice and my passion. Being able to connect with other women who get it, get that working is wonderful, is a lifeline!

I was unaware that when I signed up to… I was unaware that when I signed up to be a part of the community, that I was bound for one year. I was unable to make many of the events because of competing priorities; I requested a cancellation but was denied. Basically, I purchased a membership that served no purpose, not to mention a waste of money. As a single mom, that did not bold well. The sign up needs to be clearer and have built in parameters to opt out if the community is not fit. I would have loved to try again next year, when things calmed down for me, but after this experience, I have no further interest.

HeyMama may need a refresh! HeyMama is a good group, but seems to be slightly misguided currently. They have too many events, all over the place, and don't do a good job promoting them. I think they also are misreading their audience and should consider taking a step back to regroup. It also seems to be heavily skewed toward mom products and a mom audience rather than a working mom business group overall.

The onboarding process was a bit… The onboarding process was a bit confusing. There didn't seem to be any real chapter leadership. I want a local chapter that is going to have regular meetings online or in person and that wasn't the case here. Also, when I asked about in-person events I was told it was the members' responsibility to put them together. I don't have time for that nor do I want to do that. I want to join a networking group that takes care of the details and brings people together for networking! Also, the two events that I did go to were poorly run. They were shopping and exercise events -- not what I would call business networking. I did not see the value of being a member so I didn't continue with the group.

Great members and love the concept! I’ve met so many amazing women and formed some great business partnerships. I love the virtual offerings. I was really disappointed hearing about the behavior of someone on the leadership team. This organization is celebrating women and stands for lifting them up, instead of cutting them down based on physical attributes or because they do not fit that person’s ideal of what is “cool.” Every time I see that person’s name come up in the Google groups, I cringe. I just hate the idea of my money going to support something I can’t stand for. :/
