Mindfulness for Moms (8th Run)

Hey mama (experienced or expectant),

Motherhood is a journey unlike any other, marked by a constant rollercoaster of emotions that can leave one exhilarated, exhausted, and everything in between. From the moment a woman discovers she's expecting, her emotions may swing wildly, fluctuating between excitement and apprehension, joy and fear. It is easy to lose focus of the present and ourselves in this whirlpool of emotions.

As we step into the new year, take time to discover the power of true mindfulness, embracing emotional awareness and creating space to authentically experience every moment as you navigate the rewarding yet challenging seasons of pregnancy and postpartum.

Explore mindfulness through guided education, immersive practices (including breath work, meditation, and journaling), and conclude with empowering self-reflection and communal sharing.
