Meet Ardenia:

The Mom Who’s Bridging Politics, Motherhood, and Self-Care

Motherhood is political, and so is Ardenia. Learn how this mom, coach, and activist empowers women and challenges traditional narratives to create a better future for all moms.

Finding Her Voice and Creating Space for Moms
When Ardenia became a mom, she noticed a gap in how society approached motherhood. The two dominant narratives were either the “hot mess mom” or the “Holly Homemaker.” There was little space for moms who were multifaceted—intelligent, ambitious, and driven—yet still relatable and real. For Ardenia, this void led to a mission: to create a platform where moms could discuss real issues, from politics to self-care, without judgment.

Championing Women, Politics, and Self-Care
Ardenia’s journey began as a coach for women, later evolving into a broader mission that combined coaching, empowerment, and politics. Her commitment is rooted in giving moms a voice, motivating them to step out of their comfort zones, and showing them that self-care is not selfish—it’s a fundamental right. As she says, “Self-care is about taking care of yourself, not just so you can better serve others, but because you deserve it.”

Breaking Down the “Mommy Wars”
Having experienced every facet of motherhood—from being a stay-at-home mom to climbing the corporate ladder—Ardenia knows firsthand that there’s no one-size-fits-all. She advocates for a judgment-free approach to motherhood, understanding that every mom’s journey is unique and valid.

Inspired by Her Mother’s Legacy
Ardenia’s tenacity and drive stem from her mother’s extraordinary life. As a trailblazer who broke barriers as a Black woman in Texas, Ardenia’s mother was the first in many spaces, including being the first Black and female chairperson at DFW Airport. Her resilience and determination to excel, despite systemic obstacles, serve as a powerful role model for Ardenia’s own journey.

Empowering Moms to Have Hard Conversations
From gun control and racial equity to breastfeeding representation and gender dynamics, Ardenia isn’t afraid to tackle difficult topics. Her goal is to empower moms to confidently engage in hard conversations—whether it’s challenging outdated beliefs or advocating for change. Ardenia believes that motherhood is political, and moms deserve to be part of every conversation, not silenced or dismissed.

Creating a Space for Holistic Mom Confidence
Ardenia’s platform aims to cultivate confidence in every aspect of a mom’s life—from political engagement to personal relationships. It’s about challenging societal expectations, asserting your voice, and showing up as your full, authentic self.

Motherhood is political. It’s time to create space for real conversations, radical self-care, and transformative change. Follow Ardenia’s journey and join the movement to empower all moms.
