Parenting can be beautiful and fulfilling, while at the same time, stressful and depleting. Due to a variety of biological, psychological, and societal factors, parents rarely receive the support they need to be present and enjoy their time with their children. Often, parents find themselves feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and insecure. Join me to dispel the “myths of motherhood,” assist parents to reflect and gain support, learn strategies to manage parental stress and renew parents' sense of self.
