Redefining love in pregnancy and early motherhood. Plus, special gifts from LoveSteady.
This monthly gathering is a soft place to land for moms in every season, from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond. Mother’s Lounge is designed to nurture connection, invite honest conversation, and remind you that you are not alone in what you’re feeling or becoming.
Together, we will share stories, reflect on meaningful themes, and build genuine community with others walking a similar path. This is a space to slow down, exhale, and be witnessed, without pressure to show up any certain way.
Each gathering includes light refreshments, guided conversation, and occasional guest facilitators or creative offerings. Whether you are craving support, friendship, or simply a moment to feel held, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
This is a donation-based offering. Suggested donation: $10–25.
All contributions support community programming at Austin Yoga Lounge.
House Rules
These rules create a safe, respectful, and nurturing space for mothers to connect, share, and support one another without judgment.
Confidentiality: What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This ensures a safe space for open and honest conversation without fear of judgment or gossip.
Non-Judgment: We come from different experiences and perspectives, and all feelings, choices, and experiences are valid. This is a space where everyone’s journey is respected.
Active Listening: When someone is speaking, we listen attentively and without interruption, holding space for their words, emotions, and experiences.
Speak from the Heart: Share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences honestly and authentically, using "I" statements (e.g., "I feel...") to express your own perspective.
No Comparison: Each mom’s experience is unique. Avoid comparing or offering unsolicited advice unless asked, and instead, offer empathy and understanding.
Support, Not Fixing: This is a space to offer support, not solutions. Sometimes just being heard is enough—let's hold space for each other’s emotions without trying to "fix" them.
Respect for Silence: It's okay to take a pause or simply listen without feeling the need to speak. Silence is just as valuable as words in this space.
Honor Your Needs (and your baby's): If at any point you need to step out, take a break, or check in with yourself or your baby, honor that need without explanation or guilt.
Compassion and Empathy: Approach each other’s experiences with compassion and empathy, recognizing that motherhood is complex, and we all have our own challenges and triumphs.
