groups for parents from pregnancy through the early years and beyond

02/10/2025

Welcomed home by raindrops, rainbows, and galahs ☔️ 🌈

It was a week of sun 😊, sand 😊, and sickness 😩. Grateful we got to parent in a warmer location, for meetups with family and friends, and for finishing my holiday read as the wheels hit the tarmac. Lots of being in the present moment - kids and holidays will do that, hey?!

Not pictured: hangry, tired, teary little and big people.

Back to semi-regular programming today!

A beautiful hour of connection with self and others at today's Maternal Journal. Thank you to all who came.

TW: miscarriage, pregnancy loss

How do we talk about miscarriage? How do we support those going through early pregnancy loss? What information is available, and what is desperately lacking?

Author Isabelle Oderberg points out that in Australia, we don't even have data on early pregnancy loss.

An insightful examination of the ways in which we can do so much better to support those affected by miscarriage.

With Oderberg's very own experiences interwoven throughout - the raw and intense emotions, the palpable desire, the warping of time, and just how immensely sh*t things can be while holding hope.

For anyone who has been touched by miscarriage, supported a loved one, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policy makers.

🥳 ENROLMENTS NOW OPEN!!

You want to reflect on and talk about how m/otherhood has been and how it is going for you.

The surprises, the challenges, the joys, the nuances.

And you want to hear how others are finding m/otherhood too.

Presenting...

The MATERNAL JOURNAL online series:

💚 Who is this for? You might be pregnant or expecting, you might have a baby or a toddler, preschooler, school children or any combination.

👶 Sessions are baby and child friendly or you may come child-free, whatever works for you and your day!

💻 We meet for 6 one-hour sessions online.

✍️ We check-in, share anything we've been reading/listening to/watching. Then I guide you step by step through a short creative journaling activity. We finish with an opportunity to share and hear each person's reflections.

➕ And we have a private Facebook group to stay connected between sessions.

This is a safe and supportive small group experience led by me, Lauren Beatty, psychologist and mother of two.

Doors close in 4 days!
