What is SMOMs?
SMOMs stands for Second-Act Moms, a career support platform for moms returning to work after a career break.
We’re here for every woman who’s ever paused her career for her family — and now wants to press play again.
From quick-start guides, to AI tools, a blog full of information, and online courses (coming soon) we give you the modern resources, confidence boosts, and community you need to relaunch your career (or start fresh) — on your own terms.
Your Comeback, Your Way
Whether you’re returning to the workforce after years off or exploring flexible work after a career break, there’s no one-size-fits-all path. Some people want to clock in on a 9-5, and some people don’t. Some want to go into an office, some want to start their own business. That’s why SMOMs helps you explore all the options — from going back to the workforce in an office, to finding flexible remote jobs to ready-to-launch small-business courses.
Meet the Mom behind Smoms
Hi, I’m Lisa Roberts — mom, project manager, and comeback queen. After a messy divorce where I found myself with a seven year career gap and no income of my own other than child support, I rebuilt my career from scratch. Today, I lead a tech team and multi-million dollar projects, and I help moms go from career gap to career comeback, without losing themselves in the process. And while SMOMs stands for Second-Act Moms, the “S” has always meant more than that — Smart. Strong. Supported. Starting Over. Just like you.
Smoms helps moms turn career breaks into confident returns to work. Because “Mom” was only Chapter One.
