    Slay-at-Home Mama Club

    For at-home mamas with kids under age 4

    Being at home with little ones can be magical, exhausting, fulfilling, and isolating all at once. You may see other parents at kids' activities, but let’s be real—it’s hard to have meaningful conversations during baby yoga. There’s no shame in missing being around other adults or wanting more time for you. Come together with other slay-at-home mamas who are momming hard 24/7 in a community that centers you and your experience.

    Topics: Emotional Intelligence, Navigating Boundaries, Self-Criticism + Compassion, Friendship as an At-Home Mama, Reconnecting with Your Creativity

Get some “you time” while connecting with other working moms. You’ll explore new perspectives and strategies to help you manage competing demands and find a way to put your personal development on the agenda while you’re at it.
