TRAILER: Mom Chat with Mamistad

Hi, I'm Cynthia. In 2005, I created Mamistad as a hobby to help first-time moms find their new mama tribes. Now with thousands of Mami members and counting and DC, Austin and Denver, and having welcomed thousands of babies, I realize it's no longer a hobby. It's a necessity.  We are still here growing and expanding to new cities. We're still here celebrating and commiserating because honestly, That's what it's all about. We all face ups and downs and motherhood. I promise, IT'S NOT JUST YOU.It's time to push the boundaries and see moms for who we really are. Some of the most incredible creatures on the planet. It's time to see new motherhood as more than just having a baby. Having a child touches every aspect of a birthing person's life. Until we acknowledge and respect that moms will continue to approach new motherhood as the time to buy all "the necessities"without realizing that what they need most is to pay attention to their own mental health, and to make sure they acknowledge and make space for their own thoughts and feelings as they prepare to open the amazing Technicolor door of motherhood.Worse without this realization, some new moms will continue to suffer silently and often unnecessarily - not realizing that what they're experiencing is actually kind of normal! With a little knowledge beforehand, we can likely save ourselves a lot of struggle later. So many of us think that we must be doing it wrong without realizing there is not one right way to give birth and care for a baby.  We all have our own unique journeys, and this is where we celebrate them!  So, whether you're a Mamistad Mom or not, we want you to be a part of the conversation. We're not experts, we're just a sisterhood of moms going with the flow together. Join Mom Chat as we share our everyday motherhood, joys and struggles, challenges and triumphs. We'll call on some of our expert collaborators here and there too. And remember: Women are incredible, Moms are limitless, and a sisterhood of moms is a FORCE OF NATURE.   Mamistad...
