2026-08-21 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Chicago) | Heartwood, 1818 Dempster Street, Evanston, IL, 60202, United States
A powerful in-person experience for overwhelmed, busy mothers who want more calm, confidence, and connection — without guilt or burnout.
You love your children deeply — and yet you’re exhausted, overstimulated, and often questioning yourself. You’re doing everything, but it still feels like you’re falling short.
The Stress-Less Mother is an 8-week, in-person group designed to help busy parents slow down, support their nervous system, and parent from a place of calm confidence instead of constant reaction. This is not about becoming a “perfect” mother. It’s about becoming a grounded, present, regulated one — even on hard days.
In this 8-week experience, you will:

Break the cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and emotional burnout

Learn how to calm your nervous system so stress doesn’t run your day

Stop snapping, overreacting, or shutting down when things get intense

Respond to your children with clarity instead of reacting from exhaustion

Build confidence in your parenting choices without second-guessing yourself

Develop deep self-compassion and release the pressure to “do it all”

Understand your emotional triggers and learn how to work with them

Create a clear vision for the mother, and woman, you want to be

Strengthen trust, connection, and emotional safety in your family

What makes this different:
This is a live, in-person experience held in a beautiful shrine room, intentionally designed to help you slow down, feel supported, and truly connect — with yourself and with other mothers who get it.
Each session includes:

A grounding mindfulness or nervous-system regulation practice and methods to use at home

A teaching focused on real-life parenting stress

Reflective journaling prompts

Supportive, guided group discussion

What’s included:

8 in-person group sessions (90 minutes each)

Two private one-on-one sessions for personalized support

Special bonus handouts, worksheets, and reflection tools

Take-home practices you can use immediately in daily life

Private online group to connect, reflect, and receive support between sessions

By the end of this experience, you will leave feeling:
• More grounded and emotionally steady
• Clearer in your values and parenting choices
• Confident in how you respond,even during stressful moments
• More connected to your children and yourself
• Less reactive, less overwhelmed, and more at ease
This is support for the long term not quick fixes.
