If this title sounds absurd to you, then you are exactly the person who needs to take this workshop.
And honestly...so does everyone else.
We think about fear all wrong. As something that holds us hostage, that stops us, that locks us in place or forces horrible decisions onto us. As something that must be overcome, forced away, beaten back.
But we can have a different, healthier relationship with fear. It can become a guiding light and even a companion. This workshop references the book, My Friend Fear by Meera Patel, but you do not need to have read the book in order to take the class.
You'll be walked through the process of changing your relationship to fear, supported all the way, and you'll emerge with a new understanding of yourself and tools to use on your path forward.
It's not only the one billion hats we wear as mothers, but the pressure to wear them all perfectly that wears us down. The opposite of pressure isn't failure - but humanity, creation, exploration.
The pressure that we put on ourselves, and on our children, holds us back from the experience of motherhood that we truly want to have.
In this workshop we will explore what your version of perfectionism is and where it came from. Then we'll begin the work to release it and you'll learn how to continue that work on your own.
This workshop is packed with the actual work - come ready with a journal and pen!
How can you help your children learn how to understand and manage their own emotions - and how do you do that during stressful times when you are activated as well?
In this workshop, you'll learn strategies to prevent emotional overwhelm, to diffuse and de-escalate situations when they do occur, and to bring yourself and your child back to regulation afterward.
Everything we discuss will also be applicable to adults as well - these are relational strategies. There are modifications suggested for younger kids. You'll learn how to adapt these strategies to fit your particular family, including neurodivergence and mental health issues.
This is one you can return to again and again as your children grow and these are tools that everyone can use (and you'll wish everyone did!)
How do you feel about motherhood? About being a mother?
How has that changed over the course of your motherhood journey?
What are you carrying that no longer serves you?
It's time for a relationship reset. Take stock of where you are, how you're feeling right now, and then make some space to dream up where you want to be.
Set realistic expectations (nope, you're never going to be perfect!), get the support and encouragement you need to get started, let go of the shame and guilt holding you back, and create new patterns to move forward.
Come ready to do the work - with journal and pen in hand!
The strongest lesson I can teach my son is the same lesson I teach my daughter: how to be who he wishes to be for himself. And the best way I can do this is to be who I am and hope that he will learn from this not how to be me, which is not possible, but how to be himself. And this means how to move to that voice from within himself, rather than to those raucous, persuasive, or threatening voices from outside, pressuring him to be what the world wants him to be.

Hi, I’m Graeme.
I teach a workshop every month inside Whole Human Mama. I decided to offer these workshops outside the group so that even if you can’t bring yourself to subscribe to one. more. thing. you can still get the support and inspiration you’re craving.
The workshops are for those who are ready to work. Bring something to write with and be ready to dig deep, rethink everything, and receive so much more hope and help than you thought was possible in an hour.
