HELP! I’m Having Trouble #CherishingEveryMoment!
A free webinar for mothers who were expecting different and are demanding better.
Monday, May 23rd, 10-1130AM CST
Whether you are a shiny newbie or a grizzled veteran in the motherhood game, at some point, you’ve probably stopped to wonder,
“What am I missing here?”
What if what you’re missing is yourself?
The evil overlord of modern parenting, The Mommy Complex, offers a version of motherhood that is both maddeningly over-complicated and hilariously simplistic:
Good mothers just know what to do on instinct (but we’re gonna go ahead and drown that out completely with judgment, shaming, and moral panic).
Good mothers sustain themselves on love, adrenaline, and sparkles (but…what about cold dino nuggets from your kid’s plate?)
Good mothers cherish EVERY moment (ARE YOU CHERISHING YET??? YOU’LL MISS IT WHEN THEY GET OLDER!!!).
Good mothers sacrifice their voices, stories, complexities, and identities.
It’s time for good mothers to revolt at dawn.
Tired of striving for good? Come stand next to me.
I’m Allison Staiger, and I’m a maternal leadership coach. I help parents who identify as mothers lead their families and their businesses with rebellious anger and fierce feminist care. I’m sick of taking shit from the Mommy Complex and having to filter every move we make as mothers through the lens of “good.”
Let’s just be mothers, and let’s make mothering a universal feminist ethic, not a feminine duty.
In “Help! I”m Having Trouble #CherishingEveryMoment!,” you’ll join me in reframing why you feel pissed off, helpless, and small as a mother (at the risk of giving away my thesis statement, it’s not you that’s the problem), and how we can start to create a culture, norms and narratives that makes space for all parts of you, and let’s you decide which goddamn moments you want to cherish.
In our time together, we’ll cover:
Why your ambivalence about motherhood is an asset.
Our villain, The Mommy Complex, and it’s oppressive roots
How to shift from cherishing every moment to cherishing every part.
Part feminist analysis, part breathing space, part rage room. All moments allowed, all parts welcome. And if you stick around to the end, you can learn about my new group, Rage Against the Mom-chine, coming atcha this summer.
