About the founder
The heart behind Anchored Motherhood
As a mom of two, I have been there: the blowouts in the car, the questions about milk and solid feeds, the wondering if my kids (or I) will ever sleep, and simultaneous yearning for freedom while feeling fulfilled and content, knowing this is exactly where I'm supposed to be - the ultimate paradox of motherhood.
In 2023, God placed a desire in my heart to start a project of a foundation that affirmed the extraordinary gifts of mothers and highlights their strength, sacrifice, and courage. An organization with the goal of helping moms access support as well as find and form connections with another moms.
I gave birth to my firstborn in 2021, a time when the COVID pandemic was ongoing. As with many families who welcomed a child during that period, the early days, weeks, and months were filled with joy and challenges. Visits by friends and family were rare and Early ON and library programs were close to nonexistent. The only opportunity to leave the home was stroller walks — but with nowhere to go, it only deepened the isolation and overwhelm. The absence of social connection made me recognize how essential it is for mothers to cultivate relationships and receive support. Even if your child wasn't born during the COVID years, many parents (in particular mothers) experience loneliness and many moms are looking for connection, a village, and a community to call their own.
For those who are seeking friendship and a sense of belonging, I hope that you will find it here. Through initiatives, socials, and other events that we aim to facilitate, I pray that moms can learn more about AM and join us in our mission to connect with, support, and care for one another.
