Summer often comes with high hopes—sunshine, family time, and magical memories. But for many moms, it also brings pressure. Pressure to be the “fun” mom. Pressure to make it special. Pressure to keep it all together, even when you’re running on empty.
This month’s topic is Self-Compassion Over Summer Pressure. Our session offers a space to slow down, release unrealistic expectations, and reconnect with what you need. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters, and letting that be enough.
The pressure moms feel to make summer “perfect”
How comparison, guilt, and overstimulation show up
Mindful ways to be present without pushing your limits
The role of self-compassion in setting boundaries
Honoring your capacity in this season of life
Moms who feel stretched, tired, or like they’re trying to live up to a summer ideal. This group is open to moms in all stages, looking for a place to reflect and reconnect.
A warm, therapist-facilitated peer support space, not a therapy group. No pressure to speak—come as you are.
