The crew

Mother of…

Twelve roles. One country for mothers. Bring what you do best.

we need your kind of energy.

Burn It Down doesn’t run on a big team. It runs on mothers who can see what needs doing and do it.

Every week a new lie drops, and every week the work is the same: cut the videos, find the brands, read the comments, book the guests, count every mother who showed up. One mother can’t carry it. Twelve can.

Maybe you edit video during nap time. Maybe you know every brand in your kid’s school pickup line. Maybe you’ve run a room, sold a sponsorship, or placed a story in the press. Whatever you’re already the mother of, there’s a role here built for it.

It’s a few hours a week, from your phone, on your schedule. You’re named every Friday on the Build and in The Kitchen Table credits. And the goal from day one: the brands who get behind this fund these roles as paid work for mothers.

Find yours below, friends.
