Becoming The Parent I needed

Thriving in Motherhood
Starting Sep 01, 2025 8PM UTC

About this Session

Parenting doesn’t just change our routines—it stirs up our past. The comfort we longed for. The words we needed. The tenderness or safety we didn’t always receive. As we show up for our kids, many of us find ourselves also tending to the child we used to be.

This Space invites reflection on what we missed, what we’re learning to give ourselves, and how healing can happen side-by-side with our children. It's about parenting with more presence—and becoming the kind of caregiver we once needed.

Reflection Prompt:

  • What part of you still needs parenting—and how might you begin to offer that to yourself now?

You do not have to become your pain to heal it.
You can become someone who holds it gently—and chooses differently.

— Arielle Estoria

About this Space

Life is Loud!

Come to a Space where you will be heard.

Feel like your voice is often drowned out? Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, you'll find your voice within our community. We welcome mothers of all ages and experiences, creating a Space where every voice matters and every story adds to our collective wisdom.

We are better together!

Low Pressure, Low Commitment.

We know how hard it can be to carve out time for yourself. Join us as you can and as you are. However, due to limited seats, we ask that you try to release your spot at least 12 hours before the session if you can't attend.

Community-Driven Support.

Unlike traditional support groups, our Spaces are not led by professionals but facilitated by trained "Keepers" who ensure everyone has a chance to speak and be heard. We do not give advice, but offer a listening ear and shared experiences.

A Safe and Confidential Environment.

Your safety and confidentiality are our priorities. What's shared in Momma's Space stays in Momma’s Space. Our digital platform is secure, and our community is built on trust and mutual respect.

What We Discuss.

If you're new to support groups, we understand joining a Space might feel intimidating. To ease any anxiety, we always post the discussion topic before sign-up. Don't see a topic that interests you? Email us your suggestions at [email protected].

Who Is This Space For?

This is a judgment-free Space where we celebrate diversity, inclusion, our children, and each other. Bullying, racism, homophobia, shaming, or forced opinions are not tolerated. Those who cause others to feel shamed or defensive will be removed. This Space is for mothers who want to uplift one another through shared experiences.

When and How do we Meet?

We meet digitally every two weeks, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule. We know finding time for yourself can be tough, so kiddos and breastfeeding are always welcome! We all keep ourselves on mute when not sharing, so no need to worry about distractions!

Don't see a time that fits your schedule? Email [email protected] with your availability, and we'll find a time that works for you!

"The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest."
