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.

Alone, we wonder, “am I the only one who’s struggling?” Together, we remind each other of how strong and resilient we actually are.
The program
We’ll meet weekly in circles of 6-8 mothers to share, dig deep, and support each other.
The program will include:
The program will include:
- In-person circle gatherings each week (with the option to join on zoom if needed)
- Weekly practices to help us connect to ourselves and reflect on our lives
- Curated resources on motherhood, parenting, patriarchy, self-cultivation and more
- Guides, activities, and handouts to complement our weekly conversations
- A WhatsApp group to stay connected between sessions
|
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 10 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 We can't wait to do this together! |

The Motherhood Redefined Circle came into my life at a time when I really needed it. It was a space that allowed me to be seen, heard, and understood and to feel less alone. Every week we explored topics that were extremely interesting and relevant to the challenges that we as mothers and women face in our society. Thanks to our excellent facilitators who were able to create a safe space, the discussions were engaging and real and I always left feeling better and recharged. I also very much appreciated the notes that were shared after our sessions and the thoughtful "homework" that was given to help us continue to learn/grow outside of our meeting time. Thursday mornings became the highlight of my week and I'm deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to be a part of this group!
