What an awesome time we had last week in Toronto! Kelly, Tishia, Cindy, and myself took a road trip to meet some of the long-time friends we have made online through Mom Masterminds. Mom Masterminds is a group of women (mostly moms) who work from home (WAHM). We represent many, many occupations and have varied skills and talents. Personally, I think they are all brilliant!
In no particular order:
- Kelly McCausey of Mom Masterminds, WAHM Talk Radio, and a bunch of other sites–our fearless leader.Â
- Tishia Lee is an awesome Virtual Assistant and a total sweetheart–it was so great to visit with her again!
- Cindy Bidar is new to the Mom Masterminds community, but has done an internship at Sparkplugging with Kelly. I even hired her to do some copy writing for me this week!
- Christie Ingram is a brand new mom with an adorable baby girl! I’m anxious to check out her new site: WAHM Hacks — sounds great! She was also an intern with Kelly and continues to help out on WAHM Talk Radio blog and podcast.
- Lexi Rodrigo is an internet marketer and copywriter, as well as the new owner of The Natural Moms Blog. I had the pleasure of being on a live interview call with her and Kelli Claypool recently and enjoyed it very much!
- Sharon McMillan was our gracious hostess for the event. Her planning was excellent and her hospitality was beyond compare. Sharon is an amazing woman and I’m so glad we were able to meet face-to-face! Sharon is a Business Communications and Public Relations Specialist.
- Leesa Barnes is poised and intelligent and speaks with authority. She also has a beautiful speaking voice! Which is good since she’s a podcasting and social media expert!
- Carol Bremner was new to me. She has a GREAT calling, though–she teaches the very casual user about computers. This takes a great amount of patience and it takes a special person to do this job!
- Angela Wills is an expert Affiliate Marketing Manager. She is teaching online classes on how to earn money with affiliate programs. Sounds like good stuff! She recommended The Super Affiliate Handbook to me, which she recommends to all her students…I may just have to check it out!
- Sarah Zeldman was also a lot of fun to meet–she has a great sense of humor! Her specialty is providing Solutions for Busy Moms…and she should know!
- Imie Belanger is all about helping Canadians (mostly moms) shop from home–in fact, her main website is all about that! She’s very big into online marketing, too.
If you sign-up for one, please leave a comment with your chart’s URL — I’d love to take a peek!

It was fun to brainstorm ideas and give suggestions. Everyone seemed to really get along, too. A little about our group…
Mary Lutz is a Virtual Assistant, as well as a blogger and ghost-writer. Mary brought her daughter, Trisha, who is a mom of two small children and would like to work from home, but hasn’t quite found her niche yet. I think the group really helped her work through some ideas, which was good.
The amazingly talkented Kelly McCausey is just a wealth of knowledge and has really been an inspiration to myself, as well as countless other work at home moms throughout the years! She is the founder of WAHM Talk Radio and the network of sites. I have been studying Kelly’s materials for over a year and listening to her podcasts and have learned a lot from her. She is also the co-owner of Mom Masterminds, which is an online community of Work At Home Moms who help each other succeed in business. It’s am amazing group of women and I highly recommend it for any woman who is in business for herself or would like to find a way to work from home. There’s even a 7-day free, no-risk trial!
Tishia Lee is also a Virtual Assistant, as well as Kelly’s Affiliate Manager. She specializes in transcription services. I’ve heard GREAT things about Tishia’s abilities as a VA!
Crissy Herron is the owner of Indie Biz Chicks and her specialty is helping independent crafters learn to market themselves. She also has a paid Membership Area with extra special help with your business and a podcast that is free for everyone.
Laurie Ayers (not pictured) is a Speaker, Author, and Consultant. She is the Associate Director of Defensive Countermeasures Institute, LLC. She specializes in educating people about their personal safety and inspiring them to become their own best protectors. In her spare time (what spare time?), she is also a independent consultant and Star Director with Scentsy Wickless Candles and owns a website that is a support and information network for candle consultants and those interested in starting a candle business.
These great ladies are all a part of the Mom Masterminds Network that I mentioned above. The meetup was wonderful and I’m looking forward to the next one. We are looking at doing them every 6 weeks or so…so, if you want to join us, just let me know! It’s open to everyone–not just Mom Masterminds members.
