Experience

1. Founder and CEO

   Morphmom

   Dec 2012 — Present · NJ, US

   Kathleen Smith, founder of morphmom.com, graduated from Holy Cross in 1990 and Georgetown Law School in 1993. After a year long clerkship, she served as an Assistant Prosecutor in Hudson County, New Jersey for six years. After the birth of her second of three children, Kathleen decided to stop working and stay home. Thirteen years later, when she was ready to re-enter the workforce, she realized just how difficult this transition was going to be. She had to face some unfortunate realities including her lack of confidence, loss of connections and concerns over what she could contribute at this point in her life. Kathleen quickly noticed that she was not alone. There were in fact many women who had found themselves in this very same position and realized a large percentage of these women had actually managed to chart their own course and start over! Kathleen decided to chronicle the inspirational stories of these remarkable women in the hopes of helping others to do the same. She named these amazing women \"morphmoms,\" with the vision, creativity and determination to \"morph\" into something new, something for which there was no real template: women who successfully pursued their life-long aspirations, embarked on new and old careers, started new businesses, pioneered new ways of contributing to society. And before she knew it, the morphmom movement began to pick up speed. Today, after launching her website in 2012, Kathleen has interviewed over women from across the country and beyond. The site features a portion dedicated to promoting these women and their stories, an interactive social network component which allows the opportunity to connect directly with one another, classes and conferences.As with the rest of the world, morphmom “morphed” in March of 2020 and has now shifted to an online presence as an Instagram live show, “The Happier Hour”, Wednesday nights at 6Pm @morphmom.
