Mindful Mama Workshop - Softening Around Difficult Emotions
Join us for our Mindful Mama workshop, June 5, 7:30pm EST - we'll explore softening around difficult emotions as mamas with mindfulness practices! Snag your tickets.
What if we gave ourselves permission to sit with those “difficult” emotions - overwhelm, grief, fear, etc., without clinging to shame, or accepting avoidance as a way to cope? Caregiving parents like us carry immense weights; making space to feel is fundamental for our own emotional well-being and survival.
This Workshop Is For You If -
You are the Mama of a neurodivergent child (or children), are neurodiverget yourself, or fit into both categories (neurodivergent Mama + neurodivergent children).
You struggle to move through difficult emotions, and find yourself rooting in coping mechanism that only leave you more burned out, furstated and overwhelmed.
You feel disconnected from the traditional "self care" practices for Moms because they do not speak to your neurodivergent parenting experience, day to day.
You need short suportive mindfulness practices you can do anywhere!
What to Expect -
Learn techniques (rooted in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction & TSD mindfulness) to step into tenderness with your emotions instead of turning away from them.
Guided mindful journaling prompts that help you tap into inner reflection and hear the messages your body, mind and spirit are speaking to you.
Together we will discuss what is coming up for us in our Mama Support Circle, a safe and non-judgmental space.
We’ll close by creating a mantra (which you can use regularly) to help sustain your practice of softening around difficult emotions.
You'll leave with a support sheet to help sustain you along your neurodivergent parenting journey.
Why am I Facilitating This Workshop?
Well, Mama, like you, I am raising a neurodivergent child - our daughter Nai is the inspiration behind When Motherhood Looks DIfferent. Currently, Nai is high support needs. I tapped into mindfulness (in addtion to my progressive Christian faith) as a way to support myself along this journey (you can read about our story here, on the When Motherhood Looks Different blog).
You don't need hours of mediation to live mindfully; there are many short, accessible ways to call mindfulness into your day-to-day life. And we're focused on uplifting those through When Motherhood Looks Different.
Our mission is to provide community, well-being tools, and support for moms raising neurodivergent kids, and moms who are neurodivergent themselves. Through well-being / mindfulness coaching, events, services and products, and support via the blog & social media, our heart-centered aim is to close the gap of isolation for moms like us on this journey.
