New Mom/Postpartum Peer support

Fri, Nov 13 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM UTC
🤍 **New Mom Postpartum Support Group** Welcome to our little corner of motherhood! 🌸 This group is a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space for new moms navigating life after birth. Postpartum can be beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, emotional, and everything in between—and you deserve a place where you can be honest about it all. Whether you're adjusting to sleepless nights, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, recovering from birth, dealing with postpartum emotions, struggling to find yourself again, or simply looking for other moms who understand, you belong here. This group is about building connections, sharing experiences, asking questions, celebrating the little victories, and reminding one another that we don't have to figure out motherhood alone. There is no such thing as a perfect mom, and you never have to pretend to have it all together here. 💕 **What you can expect:** - A judgment-free space to share your feelings and experiences. - Support through postpartum recovery and emotional changes. - Real conversations about the highs and lows of motherhood. - Friendships with moms who understand what you're going through. - Encouragement, advice, and reminders to take care of yourself, too. **Our reminder:** You are more than a mom. You are still you, and you deserve love, support, rest, and understanding, too. Whether you're a first-time mom or welcoming another little one, you are not alone. We're here to support each other, grow together, and get through this beautiful, messy chapter of life one day at a time. 🫶🏽👶🏽 *Motherhood is easier when we have a village. Let's be that village for each other.* 🤍

Local life

Starting over in a city that expects you to be fine

Greater Los Angeles is rebuilding on several fronts at once. Families who lost homes in the Eaton and Palisades fires are still displaced, and the long middle of recovery is lonelier than the first weeks were. Work in the industry has slowed, and for crew, writers and performers a long gap between jobs touches identity as much as income. Rent takes a large share of most paychecks, and friends who live twenty miles away can be more than an hour apart on the 405. The sunshine makes it easy for everyone else to assume you are doing well.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Los Angeles

A peer group is a place where you do not have to keep up an image. Members talk about rebuilding, waiting for work and money pressure with people who are in the same position, and because the group is online, distance and traffic stop being the reason you go without support.

Inside the room

What members near Los Angeles talk about

  • Rebuilding life after losing a home or a neighborhood
  • Long gaps between jobs and what they do to your sense of self
  • Money pressure from rent that takes most of a paycheck
  • Feeling isolated in a region where everyone is a long drive away
Good fit for

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Los Angeles to join?

No. Groups meet online, so you can join from Orange County, Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley, the Inland Empire, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica, Ventura County, the South Bay or anywhere else.

Is there support for people affected by the wildfires?

Where do the groups meet?

Every group meets by live video, so there is no address and no parking. You join from your phone or computer wherever you are.

My work schedule changes every week. Can I still take part?

Yes. Groups run throughout the day and evening, so you can choose a different time each week if your schedule moves around.
