HOLDING MOTHERHOOD
a virtual container to explore the flip side of being a mom
Have you ever unleashed a “primal scream” in a moment of overwhelming frustration with motherhood? If so, you probably experienced momentary relief but the complicated feelings likely remained. If you identify with this–literally or figuratively–then some of the following likely also resonate, and we invite you to join our group:
-
I love my children dearly and they stretch me in uncomfortable ways.
-
I sometimes feel burned out and struggle with patience.
-
I take care of everyone else and I need to take care of myself too!
-
Motherhood is different than I thought it would be.
-
I sometimes find myself judging other moms or comparing myself to them
-
It need to be a better mother than my mom was…OR…I'll never live up to my mom’s example.
-
I want someone to share this burden, to take care of me sometimes too.
-
I feel like I'm losing myself but it feels selfish when I address these feelings.
​
Maybe we set a perfection trap for ourselves, a space where our desire to do right by our children is met with the reality that we are not entirely in control.
​
In reality, mothering can be miraculous and miserable
all at the same time..
With this in mind, we have created an experiential and inclusive space to explore the parts of motherhood that are rarely embraced or even acknowledged. This is not a “how-to”, rather this group is more about showing up as you are. It is about sharing your humanity as we connect around our needs, hopes, frustrations, blind spots, biases, and joys. It is about self-compassion and empowerment, about listening and being heard. If you are intrigued by the idea of a supportive space to explore motherhood and its challenges, please join us!
