The group chat
Our private Facebook community is 10,000+ women strong: equal parts real talk, resource swap, pep talk, and “wait, is this normal?”
Join the conversation →Welcome, cosmic queens.
Motherhood is not the end of who you are.
It’s the expansion.
The Mothership Collective is a wild, welcoming community for women raising the next generation without losing themselves. We’re here for the movement, the magic, the messy middle—and the women becoming more of who they already are.
Our cosmic code
What we stand for
Weird is welcome.
You don’t have to fit in. You just have to show up.
Identity is sacred.
You don’t disappear when you become a mom. You expand.
Motherhood is movement.
Soft and strong. Rooted and wild. All of it belongs.
Collective power is real.
Community isn’t a bonus feature. It’s how we make it through.
Julie + one very enthusiastic tiny co-pilot.
About the founder
Meet Julie Bacon.
The Mothership was founded in Truckee, California, where Julie turned one big question—where are the women like me?—into a community for women still biking, skiing, dancing, dreaming, making, and becoming.
Northeast grit meets mountain-town magic: Julie has since moved back to Asheville, North Carolina, where she’s raising her two little chaos agents and building The Mothership’s next wild chapter. She believes a good day includes dirt or snow, music, cold bevies, glitter, and possibly a freezing lake.
A whole lot of cosmic momentum

IRL connection. National scale.
Rally the Village
Rally the Village is our biannual nationwide (and beyond!) network of community-led gatherings designed to help women find, build, and actually feel their village. In May & September 2026, we’re hosting more than 300 events, all built around one radical idea: we were never meant to do this alone.

Every month, we publish stories from the community: unfiltered dispatches from the wild terrain of motherhood and selfhood.

We collaborate with independent artists on gear that feels like a wink across the grocery aisle—a wearable secret handshake.

Merch with a point of view.
We work with artists to create tees, hats, stickers, and other little beacons for women who refuse to lose themselves. Spot another Mothership human in the wild? You already know.

Stay weird. Raise legends. Find your people.
Whether you’re a wild one, a reclaiming mother, a cosmic auntie, or still figuring out your exact coordinates—you belong here.
