Meet Pamela Pekerman Founder of Hustle Like a Mom
I never intended to lead a community or be a mompreneur coach.
In 2016, I was a TV correspondent and brand ambassador traveling the country doing TV segments, hosting events and working with some pretty amazing clients like HomeGoods, Neutrogena, TJMaxx, Wonderful Pistachios, Aveeno … brands I really like!
THE BIG TWIST (aka WHY AREN’T YOU HAPPY?)
I came home from a a 2-night, 3-day media tour for a 3-year-old and a 2-year-old and suddenly, I wasn’t feeling my career anymore.
I was an active participant in created the life I had, but it just wasn’t speaking to me anymore.
It took months of agonizing self analysis to realize …
THE AMBITIONS OF MY 20S WHERE NO LONGER SERVNING ME IN MY 30S.
NOW WHAT (aka DO I GIVE IT ALL UP?)
I took my time figuring out what to do next, while continuing to book segments, host events with pr firms and cash in checks.
Run if anyone every tells you “just do it”. That’s not advice. That’s just a tag line!
What I actually did was being a YouTube series, where I wanted to interview women that where doing, creating and redefining what it means to be a working mom.
Initially called “Mommy Moments”, the show eventually was rebranded “Hustle Like a Mom”. Ever the journalist, I wasn’t to explore the topics of:
· Doing it all and the myth of balance
· Why anyone would leave a glam job in pr or tv
· How someone self-funded their dreams
· The different faces of success
HERE WE ARE NOW (aka WOW, DID I CREATE THIS?)
The series went from 2017-2020 … covid nixed in-person tapings.
By that time, I had already begun to host events under the Hustle Like a Mom name. We dubbed them mompreneur mingles.
COVID, while initially putting a pause on my active career, also gave me a chance to reevaluate what Hustle Like a Mom could become.
I wanted this platform and community to be a beacon of hope, a source of knowledge, and a space that gave voice to the uinque needs of the between drop off and pick up mompreneur.
Look at us now!

WE’RE ONLY GETTING STARTED (aka WHAT DO YOU WANT?)
I’m never seeking volume. I’m focused on value.
So, tell me/us (because I don’t do this along - xoxo Melissa, Vanessa) what you want to see from HLAM. What topics should we explore on this blog and what else you think could benefit this remarkable community.
