Mothers Unleashed
A Journey Toward Empowerment and Healing
Breaking the silence on maternal trauma can create a ripple effect of healing for mothers, families, and communities alike.
The Mothers Unleashed Mission
At Mothers Unleashed, we are dedicated to shedding light on the profound and often unspoken maternal experiences of loss, trauma, and hardship. Our mission is to strip away the shame and stigma that too often surrounds these deeply personal and typically isolating journeys. We believe that by sharing our stories, we can foster a community of understanding, support, and empowerment, where every mother feels seen, heard, and validated. Through candid conversations and shared experiences, we aim to lighten the load of your heartache, and help mothers everywhere unleash their strength and resilience.
How ‘Mothers Unleashed’ began.
Before becoming the Mothers Unleashed it is today, my dear fellow Mum friend and I ran a series of maternal storytelling workshops under the same title. Tamar Feinkind and I came up with the name during a brainstorming session, and wanted to find something that would reflect the power in the action of voicing our maternal stories. We wanted a name that would offer a sense of freedom, and reflect the empowerment felt in the releasing and telling of our stories. I believe the original in its entirety read: ‘Mothers Unleashed; A series of ferociously maternal storytelling events’. The events themselves were wonderfully successful, therapeutic and connecting for participants and audiences. While the Mothers Unleashed of today is not formatted to be a traditional storytelling practice in the way the original was, the name still reflects the essence of what I am cultivating for women. A space to be free of societal constraints and ideals, and freedom and empowerment in voicing our maternal experiences.
