They say you are the product of the people you surround yourself with.
We're in the process of developing a members-only circle of mindful, progressive moms raising girls in this pre-tween to mid-teens phase.
We want to stay in the know about the issues facing our daughters, but we're strapped for time and we have so much competing for our attention. We want to raise our girls to become brave, kind, resilient and self-aware women. We want to parent with openness and positivity.
At the same time, we are the first and most important role models for our daughters, so we know our actions, and how we treat ourselves, can't be ignored. We have goals and challenges. We are works in progress in our own right. We strive to be mindful, motivated, and show ourselves and each other as much compassion as we show our daughters.
There will be expert talks, monthly discussions, and sip & share sessions for celebrating, venting, or asking questions of other wise moms. There will also be an ever-growing library of information for moms, about topics like confidence, self-esteem, gender roles, gender equity, body image, media literacy, relationships, friendships, etc.
More than anything, we will hold space to remind ourselves of who we are, who we want to be, and who we want to raise.
