November-January 2024/25

In our opening gathering, we’ll tune into how we are really feeling – mentally, physically and emotionally. There will be a spectrum here, and we’ll welcome it all. Oftentimes our mom superpowers make it difficult to identify when something within us needs tending. And oftentimes, we forget to honor how raw our emotions, body, and mind are right now. Feel like you’re on a rollercoaster? We got you. Here we will do a body, mind and spirit scan and establish some simple practices that will be foundational moving forward. We’ll also dive right in to connecting with other NMOTB’s with hilarious prompts – you’ll laugh a lot and your heart will be happy :) 

In your first year of motherhood especially, it seems that most of us are in this in-between. We are no longer who we once were and life looks different. Yet, it’s hard to say that we have fully and confidently embodied our newest identity - MOM! We have jumped in head first into what we must do as a mother, but haven’t fully metabolized this major change. So this week, we are going to focus on our relationship to this new identity. What feels natural and what feels itchy? What parts of you are expired and what wants to be more embodied? We’ll get to witness one another in the full glory of total honesty and our hope is that there will be waves of relief and new found confidence.

We’ve heard that comparison is the thief of joy. But have you experienced the shame and guilt and judgment that comparison dumps on a new mom? OOOOF. It is heavy. So this week we are getting LIGHTER. We’ll talk consumption – how do we do so in a healthy way? We’ll get real about our social media habits and when it’s helping or hurting. We’ll break down how to actually connect to NMOTB’s near you – bringing the real social out of social media. Plus, we'll talk about the very real tendency we have as moms to compare ourselves and children to others. 

As a new mom, it’s normal to question whether you’re doing it right. But what we’ve forgotten is that so many of the answers lie within us, and within our connection to our children. This isn’t woo-woo, this is fact… and we’ll talk about why. This week we will explore what it feels like to trust our intuition as moms, what pulls us away from it, how to tune out the noise that doesn’t serve us or our families and to put your current challenges into perspective. We’ll pow wow on ways we can best tune into our children and laugh about the mommy blunders that happen on the daily.

Our children have chosen us to be their parents. They have chosen the learnings and mommy flubs that inevitably happen, too. There is a, dare I say, divine collaboration happening between us and our children. If we doubt ourselves or hold back our intuitive inclinations as a parent, we will be robbing them of what they signed up for as a little soul. The more we are able to embrace how we feel called to mother, the better off we are and the better off our children will be. We are going to break down what it means to mother honestly, to commit to doing internal work while embracing that which you are still figuring out. Perhaps most importantly, we are going to define our own individual values as mother’s, which will serve as guideposts throughout your entire life.

One thing is for sure when you have children, your relationship with your partner will change. Another thing is also for sure: If you and your partner are connected, communicative, attuned and compassionate, your children will benefit. So how do we get there in the wake of such a seismic shift in your life? We’ll talk about it. Sean will join us to weigh in from a non-birthing partners perspective.
