Our Friday Find this week is an amazing and inspiring brand perfect for moms! Created by Randi Zinn, Beyond Mom creates a connected community for mothers all over. Randi and the Beyond Mom team want moms to live a life that embraces their individuality and allows them to express themselves beyond just being a mom. A Beyond Mom is a thinker, creator, businesswoman, friend, and so much more. Beyond Mom offers mixers, events, and retreats for forward-thinking New York Moms and encourages living a social, active lifestyle with other moms!



 

Randi strives to create interactive events for mothers in the New York City area. These events are opportunities for moms to be honored, supported, and connected to other mothers! Being that our core candidate pool is women, especially in the fashion and media world, many women wonder how they will be able to balance it all. Beyond Mom is a perfect outlet to help moms manage everything and still make time for themselves! Some of Beyond Mom's recent events include mixers, yoga retreats, fitness events, and leadership conferences. There is something offered for everyone- if you are looking to attend an event check out www.rzbeyondmom.com to see what's coming soon!




Every Monday, Randi selects a "Beyond Mom" to be featured on her site. A Beyond Mom is someone who does it all- takes care of the kids, runs a business, takes classes... something that makes them unique and allows them to live a life BEYOND solely motherhood.


This Week, Marissa was chosen to be the Beyond Mom! Taking care of two daughters, running a business, writing two children's books, and making time for herself is no easy task, but Marissa does it with ease. Click here to read her inspiring, informative, and detailed interview with Randi!





 We are so excited to share our interview with the Founder of Beyond Mom, Randi Zinn!


 


 

 

1.   Where did the concept of Beyond Mom come from?

Beyond Mom is a blend of the many parts of me- yogi, business woman, speaker, writer, and of course...mom. I've always loved working with women and wanted to give back to the world- I saw a need in the Mom community for a place where women who are building businesses and a family could be honored, supported, a connected with one another. So I went ahead and created it.

 

 

2.  How do you provide moms with unique and fun ways to socialize and enhance wellness in their lives? 
Beyond Mom hosts live events every month, some are gorgeous networking events, some are athletic workouts. All of our events have a connection component though. I always include the time and space for the women in the room to swap stories and business cards. I believe that wellness comes from moving your body and your soul- so whether you're sipping a glass of wine or lifting weights, if you're doing it with other Beyond Moms, you're developing very key parts of yourself and expanding your community. 

 

 

3.   What has been Beyond Mom's biggest "Dream Big" moment thus far? 

My "Dream Big" moments come in big and small packages. Big ones include recent Beyond Mom events hosted by major brands with over 50 excited women in attendance. Small ones are coffee dates with women who have a dream but don't know where to begin and seek me out for information and encouragement. I'm honored to serve the women in this city. 


 

4. What are your future goals for Beyond Mom?

I'm dreaming big right now by creating bigger and better content- soon we're releasing Beyond Mom podcasts  and I've been writing my first book. I just know that taking all of the things I've learned through my own journey and the women who I interact with every day will make a huge impact. 


 
5. What advice would you give to people who strive to "dream big"?
As a busy mom, there's a million reasons why not. But what if the biggest reason to pursue your passion is that you become a more dynamic person? This is the best reason in the world to move forward because not only will you be a model for happiness and creativity for your family, but you can make a positive mark on the world.
