Soulful Rest
A Self-care circle for mama
A weekly virtual support group space to breathe, reflect, and reclaim you.
Motherhood is nonstop. You give so much to everyone else. This circle is your weekly invitation to pause, pour back into yourself, and be held in community with other Black mothers who understand exactly what that weight feels like.
Why This Space Matters
You Give So Much. This Hour Is Yours.
Black mothers are expected to hold everything together. To show up fully for their children, their families, their communities, and their work, often while running on empty. The permission to rest rarely comes from outside.
“You will leave each session feeling seen, centered, and a little more full than when you came in.”
Soulful Rest was created to give you that permission explicitly and repeatedly. This is not another obligation. It is a genuine pause in a circle of Black women who understand why you needed it.
Whether you are parenting a newborn, a toddler, school-age children, or teenagers, this space holds room for you exactly where you are right now.
What Happens When You Join the Circle
-
Connection with Other Mothers
You will not be the only one figuring this out. Meet women across all trimesters navigating pregnancy with the same complexity, strength, and questions you carry.
-
Real Talk About the Full Experience
This is not a highlight reel. Expecting Together creates room for the full range: the joy, the fear, the grief, the uncertainty, and everything in between.
-
Practical Tools for Stress and Self-Care
Every session ends with a tangible takeaway: a grounding technique, a communication strategy, or a self-care practice you can actually use this week.
-
Support for Navigating Healthcare
Learn how to advocate for yourself in medical settings, recognize red flags, and ask the questions that protect your health and your baby.
-
Building Your Circle Before Baby Arrives
Prepare your support system now. Leave each session with stronger connections and a clearer sense of what you need from the people around you.
