17. Babies + Brand Partnerships w/ Dallas Girl Gang Founder + CEO Amanda Smith

Made for Mothers

Gather 'round because we've got the one and only Amanda Smith in the house for today's show!

Amanda is the CEO and Founder of the Dallas Girl Gang, and let me tell yah.. she knows a thing or two about events, community building, and brand partnerships. On a mom-to-mom personal note, she's been a real inspiration for me as I've been diving into building my own Made for Mothers community this past year.
Amanda's journey to entrepreneurship wasn't exactly planned. A former elementary school music teacher, she stumbled into business ownership by accident. Back in 2017, when she first landed in Dallas, she was on a mission to connect with like-minded women. So, she started the Dallas Girl Gang Facebook group, and well, let's just say it's grown a bit since then—42,000 members and counting!
And get this, you don't even have to be in Dallas to get in on the action. I'm proof of that!
Today, Amanda and I are chatting about the nitty-gritty of building and maintaining a thriving community. We'll cover everything from reaching out across platforms to nailing those brand partnerships, and even finding your footing in the chaos of motherhood.
Amanda's real, she's honest, and she's got some serious wisdom to share. So trust me when I say, if you're looking for a supportive community like the one she's created with DGG, you're in for a treat. Oh, and don't forget to mark your calendars for her upcoming conference this September 2024—it's gonna be one for the books!

Hey I'm Mariah. I'm a Boy Mama, the very PROUD founder of Made for Mothers, obviously a Podcast Host, and a Marketing and Business Mentor for Moms. I offer Biz Therapy Sessions. Unlike traditional business coaching, this is a space where the whole person is honored, motherhood is celebrated, limiting beliefs are uncovered, messaging is prioritized, niches are defined, roadblocks are clearly identified, systems are taught, marketing is simplified, and the support is a month long. 1 x 90-minute session + 30 days of Voxer support.
