“Sometimes as the mom it’s hard to carry it all. We want to protect our kids. We want to support our spouse. And then it leaves us feeling completely bogged down. Let this be a safe place that you can come to if you are stressing. Just know that there are people here that love you and support you and will lift you up and encourage you. You are not alone.”

Media is everywhere. Sometimes it feels like it’s hard to escape it. It can be even harder to know how to help our kids navigate the constant barrage of information when events around the world, or around the corner, turn tragic.

Listen in as Maura, Nicki, and Taylor talk about how to navigate heavy news with your children and also for yourself.

We believe in the power of empathy, understanding, and shared experiences to uplift one another. Our collective is a safe space where every mom is welcomed with open arms, regardless of background or circumstance. We strive to create a supportive environment where moms can connect, learn, and grow together.
