This Week's Spotlight Features
Detriot Mom in the Community
2020 has been one of the most challenging years of our lives, especially for moms. We are balancing work and homeschool, quarantine and health, job loss and isolation… it can take its toll. More than ever moms are banding together to support one another through the pandemic and mental & emotional load that is oh so heavy.
We applaud the work our Sister Sites are doing across the country to support and uplift moms and their families during this hard season of life. Our friends at Detroit Mom have seen the need for mental health support in their community have partnered with local professionals to launch their Mental Health Monday series. Each Monday they host a Facebook Live with a professional therapist to tackle tough topics that weigh on moms including infant & pregnancy loss, relationships, mom guilt, self care and more.
A Word With Our Sister Site Owner
“Mental Health Mondays is something that is really close to my heart. With my own journey through mental health, losing my parents, and having a baby then being diagnosed with postpartum depression, it became evident to me how little moms focus on supporting their own mental health. We wanted moms to understand the importance of putting themselves first and how impossible it is to pour from an empty cup. If you aren’t showing up for yourself, you can’t expect to show up for your family + friends as a fully functioning human being.”- Elizabeth Lewis
