The Mothering Futures® Institute for Mother-Centered Leadership

advances personal and cultural renewal through the pioneering work of Dr. Jessica Spring Weappa. Grounded in a decade of doctoral research, sustained grassroots engagement with mothers and families, and decades of experience designing meaningful, intergenerational learning spaces, the Institute centers maternal wellbeing and wisdom as powerful catalysts for leadership, learning, and systems change.

Welcome. I’m Jessica, founder of Mothering Futures® Institute for Mother-Centered Leadership and a mother, scholar, practitioner, and educator.

My work weaves research, lived experience, and applied practice to position mothering as a wellspring of relational intelligence, creative insight, and regenerative leadership. Whether you work in education, healthcare, the arts, or social change, or are simply exploring your own path of growth, this is a place where maternal values are honored as essential to both personal development and cultural renewal. I’m glad you’re here.
