Mothering Beyond the Myth: A Free Introductory Workshop

Come join us at The Point for a free and supportive in-person workshop where we gently unpack the myth of the “perfect mother” and explore simple nervous system tools to support you in real-life parenting—especially if you’re raising neurodivergent or high-support needs kids.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The cultural roots of the “perfect mom” myth and how it shows up in modern motherhood
  • How nervous system education can help us understand overwhelm, guilt, and burnout
  • Practical, body-based tools to bring more ease into your day-to-day life

Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned parent, or simply curious about letting go of unrealistic expectations, this is a space for real talk, shared experience, and compassionate connection.

Let’s redefine motherhood—one breath, one story, one nervous system at a time
