Modern motherhood asked you to become a lot of things.
This is where you decide what stays.A six-month experience for mothers ready to release the expectations of modern motherhood and reclaim themselves on their own terms.
Earlier this year, I went looking for my people.
The mothers who are intentional, who genuinely love mothering — but who aren't only that. The ones coming out of the intense early years, the first-baby blur, not quite sure who they are anymore. Aware they're not who they used to be, but not yet on first-name terms with who they're becoming.
I wanted somewhere mothers could come and be people again — to talk about themselves, not just the kids. Real connection that sticks around, not the come-and-go kind. Space to reflect and actually grow.
And fun. It could go deep without staying heavy — the kind of place you cry one week and laugh until you can't breathe the next. Sometimes, all in the one sesison.
I couldn't find it. So I made it.
That's how The Mothering began.
MAYBE YOU RECOGNISE YOURSELF IN THAT.
You love your kids and you love your life — and mostly, it's all working. You don't need rescuing.
But somewhere in the years of pouring into everyone else, the part of you that's simply you got quiet. And lately you've wanted more: real conversation that goes deeper than whose kid slept through, friendships with women who actually get it, space to wonder who you're becoming now you're through the thick of the early years.
It's the woman who's intentional about her life and wants her own growth to be part of it — the one who knows there's more to her than the mothering, and is ready to give that part some room.
That's who this is for.
WHAT IT IS
The Mothering is a small group of women - never more than twelve - walking through six months together.
Calling it a course would be wrong. There's nothing to consume, no module on getting your toddler to eat their veggies. And honestly, it's barely about your beautiful kiddos! It's about you.
Each month we take a theme and sit with it properly. Real conversation, with real women who are in it too. We remember who we were before. We reclaim the things we loved. We put down what was never ours to carry. We learn to steady ourselves when everything's too loud. We look at the patterns we inherited and decide what we're keeping. And slowly, we work out who we're becoming.
I've run a lot of things over the years. This is the one that fills me up. Somewhere along the way I worked out something simple and a bit obvious - the magic was never in the content. It's in the connection. So that's what we build.
HOW IT WORKS
Each month has a rhythm.
Twice a month we do the actual work — two 90-minute sessions where we journal, reflect, talk it out, laugh, and sometimes cry, all around the theme we're in. At the start of each month we make a commitment to ourselves. In our first month, Remember, it was to do something we used to love, before the years quietly swallowed it. Then we cheer each other on, and we make a fuss when someone actually does the thing.
On the weeks in between, we still get together, just more casually. Tuesday mornings there's a Coffee Catch Up, which is exactly what it sounds like - turn up, have a chat, no agenda. Thursday nights there's Book Club. Wine optional. We've all read more this year than we have in ages, and it's fiction only. No parenting books. That's the one rule.
Running underneath all of it is the WhatsApp group, which quietly becomes its own little village - plus me, in your pocket, by voice note, more than you'd expect.
Everything's recorded. You won't make every session - you've got small children, I've met you, I am you! Watch the replay in the bath. Come to what you can. Nobody's keeping score, and there's no homework you can fail at.
WHO IT’S FOR
This is for you if you're coming out of the all consuming first baby haze and starting to wonder what's next - for you, not just for them. If you're craving honest conversation with women who get it. If you're bored and overstimulated at the same time. If you miss yourself.
It's probably not for you if what you're really after is parenting strategies, a fix for something with your child, or therapy. Worth having, all of it. This is a different thing - the space to find your way back to yourself while you're still in the thick of it.

I hoped it would be good. I didn't expect this!
The first group came together earlier this year. Strangers, mostly - women who said yes without being entirely sure what they were saying yes to.
I hoped it would be good. I didn't expect this.
I've watched them go from polite hellos to a group chat that lights up at 6am and 11pm. From "I don't really know anyone here" to organising lunches without me.
When something really hard happened to one of them - the kind of hard that arrives without warning - the others didn't wait to be asked. They got in the group chat, quietly coordinated, and turned up on her doorstep with cookies and meals. Women who had been strangers a couple of months earlier. That's when I knew something had shifted that I hadn't planned for and couldn't have engineered.
They've laughed until someone had to mute themselves. They show up for each other completely off their own backs. Somewhere along the way, these became their people.
If you've read this far and something in you is leaning in, that's worth paying attention to.
I am not here for the hard sell - just a gentle invitation to listen to that part of you that is wanting more.
