We create spaces online and offline for Mothers to care for themselves and each other. Get and give support up close through personalized Circles, and from all of MotherNation online.
Why? We know Moms are feeling stretched and burned out and pressured to sacrifice. We believe other Mothers (plus some tools from experts) can build the path forward to a more compassionate, empowering nation for Mothers.

Through a proprietary process, MotherNation Circles connect small groups of Mothers into Circles based on their location, the age of their kids, and shared experiences. Circles meet bi-weekly for 12-weeks and, guided by an expert coach, they provide a dedicated space where Mothers can invest in themselves and support each other. Spoiler alert: we’re not in the business of telling you how to parent. We’re here to give you the tools, encouragement and community to craft your Motherhood journey, your way.

Mom of 1 year old • Washington, DC
"I didn’t realize how isolating Motherhood would feel (even before the pandemic). Once I found MotherNation, and the Circle, I found the emotional support I needed. I lean on the community as a resource and the MotherNation tools and events give me the confidence to be more intentional in my Motherhood. I leave every Circle feeling lighter and little more at ease."
Mama of 2 year old • Virginia
"The Mothers-first approach of MotherNation provides a necessary reminder that I have needs and I deserve to invest in myself along with my fellow mamas. It is not a toxic or exhausting mom group -it’s a caring and comfortable space where everyone supports each other."
Mother of 7 month old • Brooklyn
"MotherNation is unique in creating a space that allows going deep and rising above. The thoughtful framework laid out for each Circle session facilitates a discussion that goes beyond the mere logistics that plague so much of the life of new mothers. It's a truly uplifting experience, offering connection in the midst of so much loneliness, and I look forward to every meeting."
Your 12-week journey will begin with a 1:1 meeting with your coach to introduce yourselves and set your goals. Then, your Circle (of up to 8 moms) will get together bi-weekly to get real and get help, from each other and with trainings designed by experts in coaching, positive psychology, and maternal well-being. Stay connected for a full year in our online community. Share where you’re at. Ask for what you need. Support other moms. Say hello to the newest members (read: mamas) of your village today.
You don’t have to be in a Circle to be part of our Nation. Join our online community of mamas to swap stories, access tools, and know you’re not in it alone. Moderated by professional community managers, no ads, trolls or judgment here. You’ll get prompts for reflection on how to: ask for help, lighten the emotional load, and handle tactical challenges of mothering today. Attend events to learn from experts how you and your family can thrive together. And, obviously, get some mama perks.
Mothers have never received the institutional or social support they need. They’ve been asked to set aside their needs and carry weight previously shared by an entire village on their shoulders alone. We’ve heard from Mothers this weight creates loneliness, burnout, and guilt.
Enough of that.
We know empowering moms with the right tools for reflection and connecting them with other Mothers can have a profound impact on the life of a mom.
With a caring space to craft your own version of Motherhood and the encouragement to claim it, we believe Mothers will find liberation – from others’ ideas of how they should Mother, from expectations of martyrdom and invisibility, from pressure to be anyone other than themselves.
Let’s build a nation where every Mother has a MotherNation and every mama knows they matter.

![🚨*President Biden is meeting with Sen. Joe Manchin TODAY*. This is the moment to use your voice. @potus, Manchin, and @senschumer need know that Paid Leave is not a disposable negotiation point. It MUST stay in the Build Back Better Act. Instructions for how you can help are below.

Cait here. We don't often pop into our own feed but it's important to show up when we're needed. Here's one of the people I have stayed up through the night to care for, my son Ben. When Ben was 6 weeks old, he was admitted to the hospital for a cold. He weighed 5lbs and was 0 days adjusted. We were admitted on his due date, just 3 weeks after he came home from the NICU. We were able to afford for my wife to lose a weeks worth of income in order to stay home to care for Ben's twin sister (and me while I cared for Ben 6 weeks postpartum) and we were so grateful for that week. The financial stress came on Day 6 and we agreed my wife should go back to work. No family should have to shift their attention from an emergency to stress about money so I'm urging you to join me in today's Paid Leave Day of Action.
📢Here's how:
1) Post a picture of yourself or a family member you care for...someone whose breathing you'd listen to all night long if needed. Any loved one, even yourself if you've ever needed to count slowly in and out from 1 to 5 and back again (paid leave is for your *own* phys/mental health too).
2) Include this message and call to action: "I want Congress and @POTUS to #PassPaidLeave for my [person pictured]. No one should have to choose between their family and a paycheck. Text “wecare” to 747464 today to tell your Senator that you want #PaidLeave passed in #BuildBackBetter." It's easy and takes literally two minutes to connect from text to call. The average call takes 1.5 mins from start to end.
80% of voters in senate battleground states support paid medical leave and 76% support paid family leave. Congress, @POTUS, we can't #BuildBackBetter without it.
