I'm building a parent ecosystem designed to support ambitious mothers through the early family years, a season that is both deeply formative and often under-supported.
My work spans conversation, education, and practical tools that help parents navigate childcare, career, identity, and family systems with more clarity and intention.
Why This Work
I didn't come to this work through theory alone. I came through lived experience as a mother, a founder, and an employer of caregivers supporting hundreds of families.
Over the years, I've seen how deeply childcare shapes women’s lives, not just logistically, but emotionally, professionally, and culturally. My work is about telling the truth about this season thoughtfully and without theatrics, and helping parents feel more supported within it.
I'm Assia Mahmood, founder of Windhaven Academy, host of the She Busy podcast, Children's book author, wife, mother of two wonderful kiddos.
Over the past decade, I've built and led a modern early childhood center, supported hundreds of families, and navigated my own seasons of ambition and motherhood. Along the way, I came to understand how central childcare is to women’s lives, shaping not only daily logistics, but identity, career trajectories, family dynamics, and emotional well-being.
My work now focuses on creating space for honest conversation, better systems, and more thoughtful support for parents, especially mothers, during the early family years. Through media, education, and future community-based offerings, I aim to help women build lives that feel both meaningful and sustainable.
