Luminary Mothers is a digital media platform dedicated to exploring motherhood through the lens of style, culture, and modern ambition.
We focus on the women shaping what motherhood looks like today. Founders, creatives, technologists, and independent thinkers who approach their lives with clarity, intention, and ambition. Women who move fluidly between building businesses, raising children, refining personal style, and leading change.
Our content is designed to reflect the full scope of their world. We publish curated wardrobe edits for evolving bodies and lives, longform interviews with women creating meaningful work, and essays that explore identity, design, technology, and the evolving dynamics of modern motherhood.
We don’t simplify motherhood into a single story. We approach it as a layered experience, one shaped by ambition, curiosity, and personal evolution.
Luminary Mothers is for those who view motherhood not as the boundary of their identity, but as part of its depth. A lens that brings clarity, complexity, and a refined sense of direction.
Meet the Founder
Alice Codford is the founder and editor of Luminary Mothers, a global digital media platform reimagining motherhood through a modern, multidimensional lens. Inspired by her own transformative experience of becoming a mother, Alice created Luminary Mothers to fill a cultural gap, one where the innovation, complexity, and ambition of motherhood are not just acknowledged but celebrated.
Before launching Luminary Mothers, Alice built a dynamic career spanning luxury real estate, entrepreneurship, technology, and media. She began in high-end property with Sotheby’s International Realty in Canada before moving into luxury property development in London, later drawing on her understanding of the luxury sector to found two businesses.
Alongside her entrepreneurial pursuits, Alice cultivated her voice as a writer, contributing to a leading Canadian online fashion publication where she covered designer collaborations and reported from Fashion Weeks in Montreal and Toronto. Her work in fashion journalism deepened her appreciation for creativity, storytelling, and the power of cultural narrative, elements that now shape the editorial vision of Luminary Mothers.
Alice also developed expertise in digital marketing and technology, advising brands and independently guiding businesses through their online strategies. Teaching herself to code and build websites from the ground up, she bridged creativity and technology, establishing herself as a female founder in tech with firsthand experience of the digital tools shaping modern business.
Like motherhood itself, Alice’s professional path has required her to wear many hats, from entrepreneur and technologist to writer and creative director, granting her a rare understanding of how different industries intersect and evolve. This multifaceted perspective is reflected in the very DNA of Luminary Mothers, a platform that honours the many dimensions women embody.
Rooted in luxury markets, media, and real-world tech fluency, Alice’s journey fuels her admiration for visionary women founders. Her passion for celebrating women who create, build, and lead, not in spite of motherhood, but alongside it, is the heartbeat of Luminary Mothers.
