Imagine having a community you can turn to on the days when you're really missing your mom or when you just need to let it all out after a chaotic day with your kids. A space where you're free to vent, feel seen, and connect with other moms who truly understand. A place to build real friendships, share your heart, and feel empowered as you navigate the highs and lows of motherhood without the support you wish you had. Hey mama, I am so stoked about today's episode because I recently launched my brand new Facebook group, Navigating Motherhood Without Your Mother. And if you're a mom doing the deep, meaningful work of raising children without the support of your mom, whether that's due to loss, estrangement, emotional distance, or something in between, this group was made with you in mind. In today's episode, I'm giving 10 powerful reasons why you'll want to be in this space starting today. I want you in here with me and with all the other amazing mamas because we are doing this together. You're listening to Navigating Motherhood Without Your Mother. Here, we help moms with young children who lack support from their mothers to make peace with the past, build confidence in their present role, and break harmful generational patterns for the future through the five-step Roots framework. My name is Alyssa Carlene. I am a motherhood empowerment and generational healing coach. My mission is to help you discover the root causes of your struggles so you can foster emotional resilience and create a healthy, loving home environment. Let's get started. Before we jump into my why, the 10 reasons to join this community, I want to make sure I give you the who, what, when, where, and how first. So who is this Facebook group for? This space is for moms who lack support from their own moms, whether that's due to loss, estrangement, emotional distance, or complex family dynamics. If you're doing the deep emotional work of parenting without your mom, this group is for you. And it doesn't matter which category you fall into because we are all under the same umbrella of doing this without our moms. What is it? It's a free supportive Facebook community, and it's the same title as my podcast. In this group, you're going to find encouragement and connection, weekly posts, prompts, and check-ins, access to future mini trainings and resources, support from other moms walking the same path, guidance through my five-step roots framework to help you heal and grow, and so much more. There's just so much in store, and I'm so So excited about it. When can you join? Right now. It's open and it's ready and as soon as you request to join, I will personally welcome you in. Where can you do it? You just search Navigating Motherhood Without Your Mother on Facebook or you can tap the link in my show notes and go straight there. Now here's the why. Why should you join? First, number one, you need a safe space to be seen and heard. I know that there is something powerful about being in a room even if it's a virtual room where people just get it we don't have to over explain it doesn't feel like there's judgment it's understanding and today I had a girl join my Facebook group and she was so excited and didn't even realize that there was a community like this for her and it just made me happy because I've thought the same thing this is my why my passion for starting this because I thought man if I could create a community for other moms like me this could be so incredible there's just so much potential with creating this safe space so know that it's It's going to be amazing. It already is. And number two, healing is easier when you don't do it alone. I touched on this in my previous episode about why this supportive community really is the missing piece when you're navigating motherhood without your mother. Because we're talking about processing grief, mother wounds, identity as a mom without your mom. These are all heavy things. And this group is going to offer you support so that you're not just carrying it all by yourself. Third, you'll be surrounded by women who are on the same journey. We're all moms, and that is another thing under the umbrella, right? We're moms, so we get it. Some of us are moms with older children. Some of us have younger children. We're all in this motherhood journey, and we get what it's like to mother without that roadmap. So we're walking the path together, and it's super incredible to just have other people to really relate. Fourth is that you'll get coaching and tools that you can actually use. Inside the group, I'll be sharing prompts and tools from my roots framework and many trainings to help you break patterns and really show up confidently for your family. I am all about building confidence in yourself as a mother and creating a sense of freedom in that as well as building upon emotional resilience that you can be this really strong mom inside and out especially when it comes to regulating your emotions five I've mentioned this is that it's really a judgment-free zone and whether you are feel like you're thriving or just getting by or like me I feel like I'm thriving and surviving all at the same time this group is going to meet you where you're at and it's not about comparison it's just compassion and of course I will monitor the group and there's never any bullying or hate speech or anything like like that, none of that would be tolerated. So just know that it's a safe place and whatever is in the group is going to stay in the group. Number six is that you will be the first to know about any of my new resources and trainings that I provide. So it's like your inside track. And I'm always going to put my best stuff in here first because not only will I be providing things to help you, but I want to nurture relationships with you I will message you and talk with you because I really do care and like I said this is the passion and my why behind starting this podcast because just as much as you might feel like you need support I do too and it's so exciting for me to know that I'm going to be nourishing some relationships and really getting to know you on an individual level so come and come as you are. Number seven is that you'll be reminded that you are not broken. You don't need fixing and you just need support. And this group is full of women who are going to remind each other every day of that truth. Number eight is that you can ask the questions that no one else seems to get. Things like, why do I still long for a mother that I never had? Or how do I not pass this pain down to my children? You're not going to be the only one asking, so we can really talk about it together. Number nine is that you deserve a place to just be you. You don't have to be in mom mode. I know it's all about motherhood and navigating motherhood, you know, with all these different things, but really this is like no performing. It's just your raw, real, beautiful self. And that's the exciting part is we get to learn about each other, explore. each other's hobbies, personalities, everything. It's really cool. And it's my hope that you can find long-lasting friends, that this is a sisterhood of moms alike. It's just super exciting, the potential that this Facebook group holds. Lastly, number 10.
