How Sixx Cool Moms Grew From One Facebook Group Into a National Network for Parents

Jenna Levine Liu built Sixx Cool Moms into a national social network with more than 100,000 members, starting from a single local moms group. The community now includes chapters across the country, built around friendship, support, business networking, and creating space for parents to show up as themselves.

In the latest episode of Moderately Mic’d, Liu sat down with Jason Makstein to discuss how the organization grew from one Facebook group into a full-time business, what makes it different from traditional parenting groups, and the balance required to scale an online community while protecting its culture.

The conversation covered the challenges of growing local chapters nationally, how Sixx Cool Moms supports small businesses through its “Sixx Cool Moms Approved” program, and the realities of building a community-based business as a founder navigating public life, boundaries, and the pressure that comes with visibility.

Liu also discussed the need for a modern village, why parents still need dedicated spaces to recharge and connect beyond conversations about organic baby food, and what she hopes her daughter understands about the work she has built.

Sixx Cool Moms operates as both a social network and a business model designed to bring authenticity back into parenting communities. The organization offers local chapter membership and resources for parents looking to find or start their own chapter.

More information about Sixx Cool Moms, including how to join or start a local chapter, is available at sixxcoolmoms.com.
