Business founders Maggie and Emily started Mother Euro from a single DM.

Their first night out closed down a bar in Madrid. A year and a half later, they're running the membership community that every English-speaking mom moving to Europe is whispering about.

We got into:

The single DM that started it all. Leaving Fashion Week and corporate HR for sweat equity. Bootstrapping a business with kids literally climbing on you. Landing brand deals with Bugaboo and Hatch with no agency. Why American directness works in a country that does 10 PM dinners. The truth about giving birth in Spain. Doulas, C-sections, public vs private. Knowing when to push, when to pause, and when to walk away from a brand deal that doesn't feel right. If you've been thinking about a move abroad, save this one.
