Things We Weren't Told: The Truth About Motherhood
Advertisement
An unfiltered evening exploring the truths, myths, and surprises of becoming – and being – a mother.
About this Event

Motherhood is one of the most profound shifts a person can experience, yet so much of it remains unspoken. The realities are often tidied away, glossed over on Instagram, or hidden under polite conversation.

This event brings together the honest voices and heartfelt stories from , and - for professional insights to explore the parts of motherhood we wish we’d known sooner. From the funny to the heartbreaking, the practical to the profound; whether you’re a new mother, seasoned parent, or simply curious about the realities behind the label, this evening is about truth-telling, community, and connection.

Expect to hear unfiltered conversations around:

  • The myths, surprises, and quiet truths no one talks about
  • How motherhood changes identity and the unexpected mourning of your childless self
  • The “selfless mother” narrative and why - in Fabled's opinion - it must die
  • What real support for new mothers looks like

Alongside these discussions, we’ll touch on the role of postpartum therapy, social media’s influence, the boredom factor (yes, playing with blocks can be tedious), navigating motherhood and work, and the emotional and creative shifts parenthood can spark.

Whether you arrive with your own stories to tell or simply want to listen and feel less alone, this is a space for honesty, laughter, and solidarity.

Featuring a skin-loving treat from Medik8!
