Charleston Moms

Jody and her family made the change from big city life in Chicago to the suburbs of Charleston and couldn't be happier! With an undergraduate degree from Elon University, and a Masters in Counseling from DePaul University, Jody's career path took a different turn when given the opportunity to take over ownership of Charleston Moms. This new adventure has left Jody with so much excitement for continuing the great work that CM has already started, and also very little free time as any business owner knows! In between balancing the responsibilities of being a WAHM, Jody enjoys spending time/keeping up with her two young daughters, date nights with her husband Rob, practicing yoga, exploring Charleston, and indulging in some retail therapy.

Kristin was born and raised in Chesapeake, VA. She moved to South Carolina to pursue an education in Public Health at Coastal Carolina University. While attending CCU, she met her husband of 6 years. She worked for the state of South Carolina for seven years as a nutritionist before she had the opportunity to stay at home as a full time mom. In October of 2016, she relocated to Charleston for her husband’s job. They welcomed their son in February 2017. She loves spending time with her family outdoors- camping, bike riding and beach going. Creating delicious, healthy meals and curling up with a good book have always been some of her favorite hobbies.

Tiffany traded in back-to-back business meetings and PowerPoint presentations, for sippy cups and play dates – leaving her corporate job of 15 years to become a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom. To say life is different is an understatement, and she now has a new found love and respect for the “hardest” (and best!) job she’s ever had. A native South Carolinian, Tiffany is best described as kind-hearted and friendly, with a quick sense of humor. When she’s not toting her little to the latest kid-friendly activity, you can find her enjoying a good cup of coffee or catching up on the latest celebrity gossip news. She received her Masters Degree in Integrated Communications from the University of South Carolina in 2007, and enjoys reading, writing and traveling (when she finds the time). She lives in Columbia with her husband Rob, and is also the owner and founder of Columbia Mom.

Originally a native of Maryland, Megan has always day dreamed of living by the beach. After graduating with a degree in Criminal Justice, she worked for the state of Maryland for four years before moving to South Carolina to live out her dream with her husband. She loves being a stay-at-home mom to her son and her two fur babies. On weekends, football usually dominates the household, Go Cocks! When football isn’t on you can find Megan shopping at Target with some pumpkin spice Starbucks in hand, or having play dates with her friends and their children. She enjoys taking advantage of all the local events each week and makes sure not to miss them!

Julia Shaw was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Collegiate athletics brought Julia to the Midwest where she competed in DII lacrosse. She completed her undergraduate degrees in marketing & sport management, and went on to receive her MBA while working in Division I college Athletic Development (fundraising, donor relations and event management). Julia and her husband Jimmie made the move to Charleston to be closer to family, and to take advantage of all that the Lowcountry has to offer. From amazing people, to a vibrant city scene, great food, rich history, and the outdoors, Julia is thrilled to be back on the East Coast and to raise her children Perry (2 years) and Paxton (10 months) near their cousins. She is excited to connect parents with local businesses who share her same passion for raising a family in such a fantastic community. In her free time she enjoys being outdoors, watching and playing sports, trying new food, reading, traveling, and spending time with family.
