About Beth
Beth K. Vogt is a leader at helping women love late-in-life motherhood. She coined the phrase “Mommy-Come-Lately®”, and serves as an advocate supporting mothers over 35 learn how to:
- Decrease the isolation often felt after having a late-in-life child
- Reduce the anxiety about the medical risks and tests of an over-35 pregnancy
- Promote understanding of the concerns affecting late-in-life dads and “caboose” children
- Simultaneously parent toddlers, teens, and twentysomethings with confidence
Beth is a national speaker and author of Baby Changes Everything: Embracing and Preparing Motherhood after 35. Her message provides women with a “whole family” perspective to recognize how a late-in-life pregnancy affects other relationships. A mother for more than 25 years, Beth understands the challenges and advantages of being an older mom.
An encourager at heart, Beth has more than 18 years experience teaching women at retreats, churches and other events, including the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers International) Convention and the Hearts at Home national and regional conferences. She is the editor of Connections, the leadership magazine for MOPS International, and a regular contributor to MomSense.
Beth earned a journalism degree from San Jose State University. Her publishing credits include: Discipleship Journal, Virtue, The Christian Communicator, and Crosswalk.com. She is also a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul: A Tribute to Moms.
Beth met her husband Rob when he knocked her down at a karate studio. They’ve been married for 28 years. They have four children, ranging in ages from 25, 22, 20, and – thanks to a funny thing happening on their way to the empty nest—a 7-year-old. The Vogt Team, which now includes a “daughter-in-love”, enjoys hiking and camping in Colorado.
If you’re a Mommy-Come-Lately®, Beth will help you love late-in-life motherhood!
