Motherhood: Redefined
We know you feel overwhelmed. No matter how much you do, it doesn't feel like enough. You and your burnout are invisible to the world, where there’s too much judgement and not enough connection.
Let’s change that.
In this community we value interdependence over independence. Join us to redefine motherhood for yourself and your family in a welcoming and inclusive space. We will be real, creative, and messy as we gather to explore what motherhood means to us.

The program
We’ll meet weekly in circles of 6-8 mothers to share, dig deep, and support each other.
The program will include:
We'll hold an open, welcoming, and judgement-free space to explore motherhood identity within the context of a culture that doesn’t support mothers.
Most mothers in the program have between 1 and 3 children who are ages 6 months to 8 years old. Some mothers bring their child(ren) and others attend solo. Please see the FAQ below for more details or reach out to us with any questions.
Meet your facilitators Robyn Gordon & Elizabeth Hubley
