Connecting with like-minded women is a powerful support tool and can provide rich benefits for your well-being and mental health. There are many different ways to be a mom. We aim to provide connections between mothers of all kinds so you can find your new best-mom-friends! We are currently hosting monthly huddles for these kinds of moms.
What Can You Expect?
- A safe environment where you can tell your story and express your feelings freely, knowing that others will be understanding, non-judgmental, and supportive.
- A place for establishing a connection with other moms that are going through similar situations as you.
- Decreased feeling of isolation.
- A community that validates and normalizes any and all emotional reactions.
- A place for learning a variety of techniques for facing the challenges of mothering the way you mom.
- A network of like-minded moms among which you can share resources like articles, other forums, literature, and more.
- A sounding board where you can present ongoing or new concerns about your mom journey.
