  • What This Circle Is (And Isn't) THIS IS: ~A gentle space for reflection, language, and connection ~Support for the identity shift of becoming a mother ~A drop-in circle you can come to when you need it—once, often, or whenever you can ~A place where children are welcome exactly as they are ~A community that honors your lived experience without pathologizing it

  • Community Guidelines

    This circle is built on respect, safety, and inclusivity. Here's what that means in practice:This is an inclusive space.All mothers are welcome here—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, body size, ability, immigration status, or how you came to motherhood.
  • Racism, bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated. Period.
  • What's shared here stays here.Confidentiality is sacred. You can share your own story outside the circle, but you don't share anyone else's. No names, no identifying details, no "my friend in this group said..." If someone shares something vulnerable, that stays in the room.
  • We speak respectfully to each other.You don't have to agree with everyone, but you do have to be kind. No judgment, no unsolicited advice, no fixing, no "well actually" moments. We listen more than we solve. We validate before we respond.
  • Consent matters.If someone shares, you don't have to respond. If you don't want to share, you don't have to. Silence is welcome. Passing is always okay. You get to decide your own level of participation.
  • Children are part of this space.Nursing, crying, crawling, interrupting—all of it is welcome. You don't need to apologize for your child being a child. We hold space for the reality of mothering, not the Instagram version.
  • If harm happens, we address it.If someone violates these guidelines, we'll address it directly and with care. Depending on the situation, that might mean a private conversation, a repair process, or asking someone to leave. The goal is always accountability and safety, not punishment. We're all learning. Nobody gets this perfectly right all the time. If you make a mistake, own it, repair it, and keep showing up. Growth is part of the process.
