This Thursday in Mamas Circle, we’re talking about The Bodies We Mother In and we’ll be joined by Wellness With Jael - Doula

Jael is a doula and wellness advocate whose work centres on holistic wellbeing, fertility and inclusive maternal care. Together, we’ll be making space to talk about women’s health and our changing bodies, from reproductive health and body image to exhaustion and what looking after ourselves can actually look like alongside motherhood.

Jael will be joining the conversation from her perspective as a doula and wellness advocate.

If there’s something you’d like Jael to speak about or explore during the Circle, send us a DM. We’ll share any questions anonymously during the session.

Thursday 24th September | 8pm | Online

Mamas Circle is free to attend. You can register via the link in our bio 🤎

We learn a lot about relationships from the families we grow up in, like how emotions are responded to, how conflict is handled, who is responsible for providing care and what we do and don’t talk about openly.

Some of those experiences then become things we want to carry forward when we become parents, while others can leave us thinking about what we might want to change for our children.

But even when we consciously want to parent differently, our childhood experiences can show up, particularly when we’re feeling tired, overwhelmed or unsure of what to do. Sometimes, we just default to responding in familiar ways. At other times, we might have a strong resolve to act in the complete opposite direction.

This tension doesn’t mean we’re destined to repeat old patterns. By becoming aware of what we’ve inherited, we can be more conscious about what we want to keep, leave behind or do differently.

It’s something we’ve touched on before in Mamas Circle, but this Thursday we’re giving the discussion more space. We’ll be thinking about our relationships with our own mothers and the intergenerational threads that run through how we parent.

Almost every Mamas Circle session starts and ends in the same way.

We take a moment to ground ourselves, introduce the topic for the evening and then the conversation opens up, allowing mums to share, listen and reflect together. We always end with a brief check-out to transition back into the rest of the evening.

There’s some structure, but also plenty of room for the conversation to travel wherever it needs to go 🤎

There is something quite powerful about creating space for conversations between mums that are centred on their experiences of motherhood.

That’s what Mamas Circle is all about - making space for mums to talk, listen, reflect and sometimes even recognise parts of their own experience in someone else’s story.

On Saturday 3rd October, we’re bringing the online community together in person to celebrate one year of having these conversations.

You’re more than welcome to join us. Tickets are available via the link in our bio 🤎🥳

We can tell you what Mamas Circle is about, but the mums in our community are the best people to tell you what it really feels like.

Several mums have told us they value having a space where they can share openly, feel heard and connect with others who have similar experiences.

Thank you to every mum who shares, listens and continues to shape Mamas Circle alongside us 🤎

Before motherhood, you may have had a full and busy life. Then baby arrives and understandably, your days become filled with onesies, nappies, feeding schedules and trying to keep up with their latest developments. In the midst of all that change, it can be easy to feel less connected to parts of your life before motherhood.

We often talk about matrescence, the process of becoming a mother and the biological, psychological and social changes that come with it. When so much is changing, comparing who you are now with who you were before motherhood might not always be a fair comparison.

A more compassionate approach might be to acknowledge the changes you’re still navigating and ask yourself: what feels important to me now? And what small steps could I take towards it?

It’s completely normal to grieve parts of the life you had before motherhood, while also making space to get to know the person you’re becoming 🤎💛

Mamas Circle is turning ONE! 🥳🎉

Over the last year, we’ve created a space for mums to come together and talk openly about the realities of motherhood. Every month, our community has met online to share experiences, hear different perspectives and make sense of some of the things that come with being a mum.

On Saturday 3rd October, we’re getting together in London to celebrate the community we’ve built over the past year.

Tickets are available now, including complimentary, Pay It Forward and Pay What You Can options.

Not ready to book yet? You can register your interest and we’ll keep you updated throughout September.

Come and celebrate with us 🤎

17/07/2026

In Mamas Circle last week, we met to talk about how grief and loss can play a role in motherhood. Mums talked about grieving the birth they expected, the village that never manifested, and how traumatic birth experiences had affected their hopes for having more children.

It was a heavy but honest conversation about how the transition into motherhood, a time filled with hope and joy, can also hold feelings of guilt and sadness. These feelings have a name, ambiguous loss, which describes the grief that doesn’t always have a place or a ritual attached to it.

So what can we do about these feelings? We talked about taking a ‘both and’ position and holding two conflicting truths at once. For example, “I love my child and I miss my old sense of freedom”.

One mum put it perfectly: “Grief is a part of mothering.”

We will be meeting again on Thursday 23rd July to talk about the friendships that changed, the relationships under pressure, and the loneliness of feeling like you’ve outgrown people.
