It's picniiiiiiic season! šŸ„°ā˜€ļø

So much action over the last month. From intimate Nest meet ups, field trips, and beautiful views, we're a couple of months into our official community membership, and it's been heart-warming to see people come together in community. What i'm noticing most? That the moms that show up and are a part of this community, are heart-centered, open, so supportive and REAL... whether you've just survived the 3rd blow out of the day, or the rambunctious toddler is running all over the joint, you are welcome here!

June is set to be the busiest month yet, and joining The Flock is a no-brainer if you're a new mom in Vancouver. From outdoor pool hangs, winery meet-ups, and going to cheer on Canada in the World Cup, what are you most excited about? šŸ˜

It comes up often in our groups... the want to support partners through this transition, how to help them understand what it is we're going through, the resentment that builds when we feel like they don't... šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ¤Æ

Partners & support people are the closest witnesses to the emotional, physical, and identity shifts happening during matrescence, yet many say they feel unsure of whatā€™s normal, whatā€™s needed, or how to help. And from the birthing parent/momsā€™ point of view, even when weā€™re in the thick of it, itā€™s hard to explain to our people what weā€™re going through and how they can help. But, when partners learn a little more about whatā€™s going on during the postpartum phase, and what matrescence actually is, support becomes more intentional, communication gets easier, and the whole family benefits. So this one is something to share with the partnersā€¦

We share some tips & advice on how best to support mom, as well as some IG accounts & podcasts to follow to help them deepen their understanding of postpartum & matrescence, and/or reflect on their transition to fatherhood. Because it's not a walk in the park for them either. Postnatal depression in dads is a thing too.

We're honoured to share a guest article from a new inspiring, Vancouver-based, community-led movement, .her.circle on our blog this month.

"In BC, nearly 1 in 4 women face challenges during the perinatal period.

Su***de is the leading cause of death in the first year postpartum"

If you've ever had any sort of mental health struggle postpartum, this one is going to hit home.
her.circle was launched by the friends and family of Jenna Dorman, a local mom who died of postpartum su***de. It should never have happened. We know postpartum care is not where it should be, and that waitlists to access mental health supports are WAY TOO LONG. In Her Circle are trying to change that by raising money to fund one year of weekly, drop-in postpartum peer support through

Community support shouldnā€™t feel out of reach. šŸ’›

In a move that's been a long time coming, weā€™re opening up 2 free spots in each of our Langley, North Van, & Burnaby* postpartum groups (1-4 & 4-12 months PP), for moms who are low income, Indigenous, or solo parenting.

Because motherhood can feel isolating enough alreadyā€¦ and every mom deserves support, connection, validation, and a space where she can exhale a little.

These groups are about honest conversations, community, matrescence, mental health, identity shifts, and finding yourself again alongside motherhood. (Plus coffee. Everyone needs coffee)

Unfortunately, our Vancouver groups arenā€™t eligible for these sponsored spots, as registration runs through the City of Vancouver - but if youā€™re hoping to attend a Vancouver location, check out the Leisure Access Program for potential financial support.

If you're eligible and interested in applying, check the link in bio (or DM me) for details šŸ’›

ā€œMom brainā€ isnā€™t you losing your mind, yourself... or even early onset dementia.

Itā€™s your brain adapting to one of the biggest transformations a human can go through: matrescence.

Behind the brain fog, forgetfulness, overstimulation, and mental loadā€¦ thereā€™s actually science. And a valid reason why you left the keys in the fridge šŸ˜‚

Our latest article dives into whatā€™s really going on behind ā€œmom brainā€ - and why moms deserve a little more understanding (and maybe 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep). šŸ«

You know what new momsĀ donā€™tĀ usually ask for?
Support. Community. Time to do something for themselves. A place to feel like a human again.

But those are often the things they need most.

Your next baby shower or Mother's Day gift is now sorted. Instead of another onesie that they grow out of after a couple of months, give them something meaningful that will actually impact their postpartum experience šŸ¦©

You can now gift aĀ MotherFlockĀ membership to a mom in your life - whether sheā€™s newly postpartum, deep in the toddler trenches, navigating matrescence, craving connection, or simply needing a little more support and ā€œme tooā€ energy in her corner.

And yes - you can absolutely add this to your baby registry, or send this very subtle hint to your partner, family, or best friend. We support strategic forwarding around here.Ā šŸ˜‰

These gift cards are perfect for:
Baby showers
New moms
Motherā€™s Day
Postpartum care packages
ā€œThinking of youā€ gifts
Or the friend who keeps saying ā€œI just need to meet more mom friendsā€

Already aĀ MotherFlockĀ member and want to gift it to a friend? Send me a DM and I'll shoot you a little 20% discount, as a thank you for spreading the love.

Fiiiiiiinally the weather has started to cooperate šŸ„° Lots of fun, adventure, sunshine, and solidarity of the past couple of weeks with the Flock. And you know what I'm loving? Seeing people get together in smaller groups too, or more impromptu get-togethers. It takes time, but the more you get out there, the more your connections grow šŸŒ±More picnics, walks, hikes & field trips to come...
