About

Busy Mom Playdates® is a curated travel, lifestyle and experience community created for busy women who are ready to make room for themselves beyond the roles and responsibilities they carry every day.

Founded in 2021 by Michelle Rose, the company began with local gatherings in the Washington, DC area, at a moment when women were looking for a way back into community. It has since grown into domestic and international group travel, signature community experiences, and a network of more than 1,000 women.

The audience is deliberate. Busy Mom Playdates is built for Gen X women, and Black women and women of color are at the center of the community rather than an afterthought. Groups are kept intentionally small, because the value of the experience comes from the women in the room as much as from the destination.

Shades of Pink is one of the brand's original signature experiences. It began in 2021 as a gathering that brought women back together after the isolation of the pandemic, made space for them to celebrate themselves, and honored women in the community who had experienced breast cancer. It has continued since, evolving with the women who return to it.

Michelle Rose spent more than twenty years in corporate sales, marketing and technology leadership before building Busy Mom Playdates. Her role in the community is convener rather than expert. She creates the rooms and brings in the right people, whether that means a destination, an experience or a conversation.

What Busy Mom Playdates offers:

- Small-group international and domestic travel designed for women traveling without their families
- Signature community experiences across the Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia area
