{📸 @alice.karin } 〰️ “Salaried jobs have vacation time for a reason. Workers with no breaks burn out. You have to advocate for yourself to keep from burning out. It will make for a much happier family life.” — M.

There are phases of motherhood that can feel consuming in all the right ways — like being in love. And there are those phases that feel overwhelming in how constricting they can be, in how little room they allow for us to be . . . us. And yes, “advocating for ourselves” can feel like one more thing on the never ending to-do list but here we are. And if the past year has shown us anything it’s that if we don’t, who will?

Looking forward to our conversation with @everodsky this Monday at 7pm ET to talk more about identity and claiming time and space for ourselves. What kinds of questions do you want us to talk about with Eve?

{📷 via @garmentory} 〰️ Hey Mom Group: I'm soon to become a stay-at-home mum (first babe due in may) and I'm wondering what (if any) capacity I'll have to stay an active ‘active individual outside my role as a mother’ to keep me sane and keep me contributing to the community outside of my family. I've never been an over-achiever and I'm worried I'll find myself eaten up entirely by motherhood. What do you do to stay "you" and stay in the world?” - S.

We’re digging deeper into finding our identity after motherhood as we prepare to discuss this in more depth with @everodsky next week. Did you find yourself “eaten up entirely by motherhood” in the early years? What made you feel like yourself? This feels like invaluable input and we want to hear from you.

We’re so excited to share our upcoming event wit

We’re so excited to share our upcoming event with @everodsky! One of the biggest challenges we hear from moms as they emerge from the murky postpartum times is how to find and reclaim a sense of identity. This year has been especially soul-sucking for mothers, both new and seasoned, for everything it took from us. Who are we, after spending all this time endlessly giving of ourselves? And how do we find ourselves with so little time carved out for this inner searching during our days? New York Times bestselling author of “Fair Play”, and soon-to-be released title “Finding Your Unicorn Space” Eve Rodsky has more than a few ideas. She will be sharing her wisdom with us on Monday night, 7pm on May 17th via a Zoom discussion for (nsfmg) monthly member subscribers.

All members will receive access to a zoom link this week. If you would like access to this must-listen conversation, head to the website now and sign up for just $5. Link in bio. You’ll also get access to our private Facebook member group, Close Friends content, and exciting upcoming members-only events.

Don’t miss out on this important talk about finding yourself and claiming your unicorn space! 🦄

“Hey Mom Group: Is there anyone else who has fel

“Hey Mom Group: Is there anyone else who has felt —particularly during this last year with a lockdown and life on hold and so much additional emotional workload — that sometimes you made a mistake getting married? I've found myself having flashes of regret so much over the last few months, and then I tell myself, this is your life now, there's no getting out of it. I look at my daughter and try to get myself together for her. But I have these feelings of "fuck what have I done". Am I a horrible person?” — M.

This past weekend, heck, this past year has forced us all to reckon with our life choices in an unprecedented way. As we shuttered ourselves in our homes, we looked around and surveyed the scene. There was gratitude, there was fear, there was a sense of loss. Is this all there is? Is this person enough? What is this life? And in the midst of the constant parenting and worrying and partnering — where did we go? This is an existential crisis of pandemic proportions and its disproportionately affecting mothers. Who are we now? And are these choices we made in the Before Times the right ones now? We’re talking about this on stories now.

We were never meant to do this alone. We need our friends now more than ever. If there’s one thing mom group has taught us, it’s that Internet friends can become a real lifeline. Matching sweatshirts seal the deal. Grab one for yourself and the mom who’s helped you through this bullshit year. Our merch is sustainably made from organic cotton — and right now it’s 21% off.

“I laid it out for him. I told him I wanted a break. Maybe a night in a hotel with all my favorite things. A moment to breathe after having a baby, facing a pandemic, being laid off, and being forced now to be a SAHM/ Home School Teacher (I appreciate teachers to the fullest!). He laughed, and continued to ask what I wanted. I cried silently. I don’t want to be just a mother on Mother’s Day. I want time to be my fucking self!” - A.

Shitting on Mother’s Day but also wishing we would wake up to breakfast in bed, a whole damn surprise party just for us, plus 8 hours of solitary time with ourselves. We’re sharing the full spectrum of emotions as we round the corner to our Mom Super Bowl: Mother’s Day.

“Hey Mom Group:
I’m currently pregnant and find myself feeling very overwhelmed with past childhood trauma. I am in therapy for many reasons (good and bad) but have never discussed with anyone the trauma that seems to be arising. There are many layers of shame, sadness, guilt, confusion, etc. that have recently become too hard to repress. I know pregnancy can trigger past trauma and that this is common, but I feel so scared. After keeping this to myself for so many years, I have no idea how or where to even begin telling someone. It’s not something I want to tell my therapist virtually.” — Anonymous

As #maternalmentalhealthawareness week kicks off, we are welcoming and holding space for some of the most difficult feelings and questions that we may face when becoming mothers. Whether we are dealing with past traumas, or just going through a tough time, seeking out support and finding the strength to tell our stories to someone who can help us is a very brave step towards healing.

This post from an anonymous mom is resonating with a lot of folks in our stories right now. Follow along, and add to the conversation on Stories — or comment below ❤️.

{📷 via @oldschoolmoms } 〰️ “I feel like this runs so much deeper for me than not knowing what to wear. It’s like I’ve dressed one body for years, and now I have to find new ways to love her and understand her before I can feel into what to put on her. I’m so much more vulnerable in my physical body. When my jeans press again my soft stomach, I feel reflexively shameful. I love my new stronger arms. It’s like I need to reevaluate how I feel about it all before I can determine what to actually wear.” — N.

We’re talking about finding our lewk (and feel) in our postpartum bodies on stories. Slip into something comfortable and join the convo.

{📸 via @maxfromtax } 〰️ “Hey Mom Group: I gave birth April 2020. The pandemic had hit my region only 4 weeks earlier and we were in full lockdown, everyone was freaked the fuck out. I wasn’t allowed any postpartum support from family or friends, I was denied proper postpartum medical care, I was in awful pain for months but totally alone. My family relationships suffered because I stuck staunchly to health recommendations and didn’t let anyone meet my baby until she was 10 weeks old, and no one could hold her until 16 weeks. Friends have seen her in person only a handful of times. I told myself this was all worth it, all the suffering for the greater good of the pandemic ending. But here we are a year later and in a variant surge. New daily cases are 3x what they were then, but new moms I know are happily sharing their newborns with friends and family, enjoying this time like it’s normal. Did I screw this up? I grieve the maternity leave I never had. And it seems like all my staunch rule-following meant nothing because we are still in the thick of this. I can’t tell if I’m angry at these new mothers . . . or jealous that they had the guts to do what I didn’t.” - Anon.

New convo is up on Stories 🔥. Comment anonymously there, or down below.

Do you feel regret about what you didn’t do while in lockdown? 💔

{📸 @globalgreen } 〰️ Raising children adds

{📸 @globalgreen } 〰️ Raising children adds layers of complexity to how we reckon with preserving this earth for future generations. Including candidly asking ourselves whether we should even be bringing more humans on to this struggling planet. Today’s Mom Group query says aloud what so many of us have wondered in the dark corners of our mind. There’s no right or easy answer but it’s an important question to reflect on as we celebrate #earthday.

“Hey Mom Group, I have been trying to decide whether to have another child (I have a three year old boy) but I can’t stop thinking about how bringing another person into the world feels irresponsible. I am studying a course about climate change and one of the main reasons for it is overpopulation. We are going on eight billion people and it is expected we will reach nine billion by 2050. Scientists believe the earth will be inhabitable in the not so far future. I am really torn between giving my son a sibling and feeling guilty for bringing another life to this world when I know what I know. Does anyone experience this? Anxiety getting worse every day as I approach my 40th birthday.” - A.
