Introducing: The Becoming Circle- A Soft Place to Land in Early Motherhood

Early motherhood can be beautiful—and also really hard.

You can love your baby deeply and still feel overwhelmed, lost, touched-out, anxious, or unsure of who you are now. Many moms feel like they should be coping better, enjoying every moment, or figuring it out faster.

The truth is: this season is a lot. And you’re not meant to go through it alone.

That’s why I’m offering The Becoming Circle, a mom and baby community for early motherhood, in partnership with Canopy Comox.

This group is meant to feel like a soft place to land—where you can come exactly as you are, with your baby (if you want), and not have to pretend you’re okay if you’re not.

What Is The Becoming Circle?

The Becoming Circle is a supportive and therapeutic 6-week drop-in group for moms of babies and toddlers 0–24 months.

It’s a space to:

connect with other moms
feel less alone
talk honestly about what this season is like
learn gentle tools to help when things feel overwhelming

There’s no pressure to share. No pressure to “fix” anything. And no pressure to show up on time, prepared, or put together.

Babies and toddlers are always welcome—feeding, crying, moving, sleeping, all of it.

What This Group Is (and Isn’t)

This group is:

warm and welcoming
supportive and non-judgmental
focused on real life, not perfection
a place where you don’t have to explain yourself

This group is not:

a parenting class (this is about supporting YOU)
a place to compare yourself to others
about doing things “right”

You can come late. You can leave early. You can sit quietly and just listen.

What a Typical Session Looks Like

Each 90-minute session has a gentle flow, so it feels predictable and safe:

Arriving slowly – feeding, changing, settling in
A short grounding moment – something simple to help your body breathe and settle
A weekly topic – shared in an easy, relatable way
Optional discussion – speak if you want, listen if you don’t
A small take-home tool – something realistic you might actually use
A soft close – before heading back into your day

Nothing intense. Nothing forced.

Weekly Topics

Each week focuses on something many moms are already thinking about:

Week 1 – You’re Not Meant to Do This Alone- Talking about how hard this season can be and what support actually looks like.

Week 2 – You Are Still You- Making space for who you were before motherhood—and who you’re becoming now.

Week 3 – Why Everything Feels So Intense- Understanding overwhelm, anxiety, and exhaustion, and learning simple ways to cope.

Week 4 – The Harder Days- Talking honestly about guilt, sadness, resentment, and mixed emotions.

Week 5 – Burnout, Boundaries & Doing Too Much- Looking at mental load and how to protect your limited energy.

Week 6 – Moving Forward With Support- Reflecting on what’s helped and finding support beyond the group.
