Meet Kelly

Founded by Kelly Zugay

For over a decade, twelve-hour workdays and seven-day workweeks were my norm. But when my husband and I learned we were expecting our daughter, I felt a change coming β€” a deep, undeniable need to rethink everything. It wasn’t just about my work; it was about who I was becoming, how I viewed the world, and the kind of life I wanted for our growing family. It was clear β€” things needed to change.

That’s why I founded Made by Motherhood in 2022. I wanted to create a space for fellow moms who, like me, are navigating the beautiful yet challenging journey of blending who they once were with who they are now as mothers β€” and who they aspire to be, personally and professionally. This space is both a gentle push and a warm hug β€” helping you make room for what matters most to you.

For over a decade, twelve-hour workdays and seven-day workweeks were my norm. Things needed to change.
