The Long Becoming
Who This Is For
​
The Long Becoming is a seasonal support circle for mothers whose babies are no longer babies — often parenting toddlers — and who are still very much in the ongoing transformation of matrescence.
This is the phase when check-ins slow down, support drops away, and many mothers quietly wonder why things still feel so hard — or even harder — than before. You're expected to be "settled" by now, even if you don't feel that way at all.
This group exists to name that reality and offer a place to be held inside it.
​
What This Is Not
​
This is not a parenting class or a playgroup. There is no fixing, teaching, or optimizing here. Instead, we gather for honest conversation, nervous-system-safe connection, and the relief of being with other mothers who understand this season from the inside.
​
This Is For You If
​
Your baby is no longer a baby and things still feel hard — or harder
You're past the postpartum window but don't feel finished or settled
You're tired of performing okayness
You want to be witnessed, not fixed
​
How We Meet
​
We gather live on Zoom three times each month — during the first three weeks. Calls are gently facilitated, with space for grounding, optional sharing, and reflection around themes such as overwhelm, resentment, identity shifts, grief, friendship changes, rest, and the ongoing work of becoming a mother. Silence is welcome. Presence is enough.
Between calls, participants are invited into a shared WhatsApp space for connection and mutual support. Facilitator presence there is light and intentional — focused on tone-setting rather than constant engagement.

Who Is Welcome
​
Mothers of all backgrounds, family structures, identities, and lived experiences are welcome here. We recognize that access to support is shaped by many factors — including race, class, disability, sexuality, gender identity, and immigration status — and we hold this work with awareness and humility.​ No one is turned away for lack of funds.
