💡 Worthy Moms: Inspiration We’re Loving 💡
September 19, 2025
Each month we like to shine a spotlight on moms who inspire us. From entrepreneurs to creatives, these women are doing cool things—and reminding us that motherhood has many styles.Â
I’ve been a fan of Baked by Melissa for years, but lately I’ve discovered a whole new side of Melissa Ben-Ishay that I’m even more excited about. Beyond being a creative and innovative baker, she’s also a talented cook, sharing simple, fresh, and nourishing recipes made with accessible ingredients and unexpected flavors. She went viral on TikTok with her Green Goddess Salad and has been inspiring us with healthy, delicious ideas ever since. I recently bought her cookbook for myself—after gifting it to two salad-loving friends! I love how she encourages healthy eating while still celebrating the joy of treating yourself. Plus, she comes across as such a fun, down-to-earth mom—someone who’s clearly inspiring her two daughters, and the rest of us too.
I first discovered
 Betsy Wolfe when I saw her absolutely steal the show in
 & Juliet on Broadway. From there, I started following her on Instagram and was thrilled to find out she’s actually a fan of Worthy for her daughter! We eventually met in person after I saw her star in
 Joy!—and she was every bit as amazing as I had hoped.

Betsy is beautiful, talented, and oh-so funny. Not only is she a triple threat on stage, but she’s also an incredible role model for Broadway hopefuls through her groundbreaking musical theatre training program,
 BroadwayEvolved, which is helping students reach their highest potential in a way no one has done before. She’s not just talented—she’s pure joy.
I first met
 Ashley Holt when she was a food stylist on the Today Show and kindly gave me a behind-the-scenes tour. We clicked instantly, and she’s been inspiring me ever since! Ashley is an award-winning cake artist whose creations are almost too pretty (or cool, or whatever you want them to be) to eat. She’s taken home top prizes from the New York Cake Show, Chopped, and Cake Boss, and you can catch her on Netflix’s
 Bake Squad or on
 Instagram, where she shares her incredible work as a traveling cake artist.
Beyond her talent as a confectioner, Ashley is also a beautiful, creative, and inspiring mom to her adorable daughter.
