77. UPDATE: How and why I'm unscaling the MOM Program

In this short episode walking in a very snowy woods, I share an important shift I'm making with the MOM Program—and it's all about unscaling. While the business world tells us to scale, grow bigger, and involve ourselves less, I'm doing the opposite. I'm choosing intimacy, connection, and the kind of small group work I know transforms mothers' lives. If you've been contemplating joining but feeling stuck on time, logistics, or that familiar "will I actually follow through?" pattern, this episode is for you.Key PointsWhy I'm "unscaling" the Mom Program from multiple groups to one intimate cohort of 15 womenThe common thread in conversations with mothers: overwhelm, time scarcity, and the gap between what we know is good for us and what we're actually doingHow I'm simplifying the structure: 8 weeks, Mondays at 12pm Eastern, 8 live calls—that's itThe real question underneath "Can I make the time work?"—it's usually programming, not logisticsWhy money struggles are directly connected to your relationship with your mother (the "Money Matrix" = "Mother Matrix")The bonus I'm adding for early enrollees: a 30-minute one-on-one call to work through whatever's getting in your wayWhy most time obstacles aren't actually about moving mountains—they're about asking and worthiness workHow this program is designed so you can't hide—accountability baked into the small group structureWhy now is always the best time (and why I may not run another cohort in 2026 as I focus on writing my book)Quotes"It's just not my jam to strip down what I know is so powerful and important for women and mothers, and that is intimacy and connection.""I don't wanna sign up for something that I know I'm not gonna follow through with. Like I don't wanna sign up for more shame on myself.""When we actually look at it, it's not really moving mountains, it's usually just asking, right?""We move mountains for our kids and we need to move mountains for ourselves.""Money struggles are directly correlated to your relationship with your mom. We could simultaneously call the money matrix the Mother Matrix."Resources MentionedMothering Ourselves Mindfully - 8-week signature program, enrollment open now for February start: http://www.theschoolofmom.com/momBook a call to talk through any stickiness you're bumping up against with joining the program: https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages/149935Send Sarah your voice note right here!
