Calling all founder-mamas: Be featured on the new Founding Mothers podcast

Founding Mothers is an exciting new podcast launching August 2025, spotlighting mothers who are also founders—through raw, real, and refreshing conversations. It’s all about the layered truth of building a business while raising a family.

The creator and host, Balu Belz, spent the past decade of her career managing partnerships with Fortune 500 companies. Now, she’s on a mission to elevate the stories of women navigating the dual path of motherhood and entrepreneurship.

Balu believes that honest storytelling helps normalize ambition and care—allowing more mothers to feel seen and celebrated.

🔥 Season 1 is about to drop with 12 incredible episodes—but the team is already casting for Season 2, and YOU could be one of the next featured guests! 🚀

Ideal guests are:

• Founders who are mothers (by birth, adoption, surrogacy, step-parenting, fostering, etc.)

• Building (or have built) a biz, brand, product, platform, or movement (beyond idea stage)

• Open to sharing real stories—including both triumphs and tough moments

• Excited to reflect on how their roles as founders and mothers intersect

➡️ To apply to be a podcast guest, submit this form (which will be reviewed directly by Balu). For “How did you find us?”, make sure to mention D&D—she’s especially excited to hear from you as a Dreamers & Doers member!

#DirectAccess: If in addition you have any questions or would like to connect with Balu directly, she also shared her email for D&D members: balungilebelz@gmail.com 🎉

💡Pro tip: Balu is particularly keen to feature underrepresented founders and diverse perspectives within the motherhood economy.
