We are beyond excited for our next offering at The Grove: the Motherhood Unfilitered Series. You were never supposed to do motherhood like this.
Like you should be endlessly patient.
Endlessly grateful.
Endlessly available.
Like a good mother never resents, never rages, never worries too much, never needs too much—and definitely never admits that sometimes this is all just… a lot.
Motherhood Unfiltered is a three-part workshop series about the feelings mothers are often taught to hide:
🔥 Maternal Rage — When “I’m overstimulated” doesn’t quite cover it.
🖤 Maternal Guilt — Who taught us that being a good mother means constantly feeling like we’re failing?
⚡ Maternal Anxiety — When caring deeply turns into carrying everything.
Led by Rachel Bowers, MSSA, LSW, PMH-C, founder of Wollemi Counseling and a therapist specializing in women’s and perinatal mental health, each workshop combines real conversation, therapeutic insight, reflection, practical coping strategies, and new ways of thinking about the emotional experience of motherhood.
We’ll look beyond “just practice self-care” and ask bigger questions:
What happens when mothers are expected to meet impossible standards with inadequate support?
How much of what we call mom guilt is actually grief?
How much rage comes from being overextended, under-supported, touched out, invisible, and still expected to smile?
And how much anxiety makes perfect sense when women are taught that everything their child becomes somehow traces back to them?
Together, we’ll challenge old narratives, reframe the emotions we’ve been taught to judge, identify what’s underneath them, learn healthier ways of coping, and make space for honest discussion with other mothers who get it.
You’ll leave with more than validation. You’ll leave with new language for what you’re experiencing, concrete strategies to use when emotions get big, and a different lens for understanding yourself as a mother.
This isn’t about becoming a calmer, more productive, better-behaved mom.
It’s about understanding yourself better—and questioning why mothers have been expected to carry so damn much in the first place.
No perfect moms.
No Pinterest motherhood.
No guilt for having needs.
Just motherhood—unfiltered.
Three workshops. Come to one or join us for the whole series.
