Barb Machen

Barb's story:

My name is Barbara Machen I am 43 years old and have been married for 12 years. I have twin daughters India and Soraya who are 9 years old.  I grew up in a blue collar track home suburb called Daly City (population 100,000) which is right outside of San Francisco.  I was raised by a single mother on government assistance. My parents got separated when I was 5 due to my fathers substance abuse addiction.
I was one of a dozen kids out of  a graduating class of 500 who received a full scholarship to a major University.  I have owned my own Marketing Company since the age of 25.

I truly am the American Dream and proof that a positive attitude can help you reach any goal you desire.  But when my twins were born that attitude changed into a scared, unsure woman who felt like she was a failure.  Through the support and love of my family and friends my confidence came back and that confidence turned into compassion for all those woman out there that don’t have the support of their family and friends and who are venturing into motherhood alone.  That is when the concept of Mom Life was born.  I became passionate that no woman venturing into motherhood should have to "go it alone." There should be a community that offers support without  judgment, insight into this new world and a lot of laughter...
