the motherload *
A space for moms to practice real self-care, where you are invited to:
rebel against what is expected of you
regulate your emotions
rediscover who you are
with art journal therapy so that you get more “me time” and reduce your mental load without all the guilt.
MOTHERLOAD / mental load (noun)
the never-ending mental to-do list you keep for all of your family tasks which often causes overwhelm, stress and irritability.
Motherhood can feel like a pressure cooker of "shoulds," you know?
Like we're supposed to have all the answers, be gentle in every way, and always be grateful. But that's just not realistic!
Whether you're in the baby or the threenager stage, rushed school mornings or complex screen time limits for teenagers, The Motherload is here to help make mom life more bearable (dare I say enjoyable?).
Do you miss the spark you used to have?
The Motherload Club is for you if:
You want to be a good + “gentle” mom
You don’t want to make any mistakes that might screw up your kids
You want to have regulated emotions
You want to be more than just a mom
You don't want to feel guilty for having interests outside of moming
You would like to find other ways to escape aside from scrolling
You want to find some mom-friends
You crave a creative outlet

The algorithm knows exactly what to show you, and you likely already have saved Instagram posts that help. I like to use social media to find answers to my parenting questions and doubts. (Anyone else following Dr. Becky? She's amazing!) The problem with social media is that things will stay the same unless you move from reading about it to practicing it. The wisdom and laughter you might get from social media is only a tiny portion of what's needed to create the life you want.
These courses offer a much more in-depth and comprehensive approach to dealing with the ups and downs of motherhood, providing busy moms with access to a therapist's brain, therapeutic art lessons and coping skills that work (when you use them), all in one place and in a budget-friendly way.
You can choose to enroll in a single course or become a member of The Motherload and gain access to all of them!
