Refill & Relate: An Authentic Mom Meetup - May

Join us monthly! This is a free support group for moms of elementary-aged (give or take) children. The inspiration for this group is to find authentic connection. We all deserve a safe space to strip away the "everything is fine" facade. I've often felt alone and confused in motherhood. My hope is to create a safe space for those who are looking to rediscover themselves through conversations and community.

May's topic is: Rewriting the Inner Monolague

It’s easy for the voice in our heads to become a critic, especially when we’re balancing the constant demands of family, work, and personal identity. This month, we are hitting pause on the "shoulds" and the self-doubt to focus on Positive Self-Talk.

Our May gathering is all about shifting the narrative. We’ll dive into how we can speak to ourselves with the same kindness and encouragement we so freely give to our children and friends. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to catch those "not enough" thoughts and flip them into affirmations that actually fuel our energy rather than drain it.

What to Expect:

• The Power of "Yet": A look at how small shifts in language can change our perspective on daily challenges.
• Identify the Critic: Recognizing the specific triggers that spark negative self-talk.
• Refilling the Cup: Sharing simple, tangible mantras to help us stay grounded and confident.

Come as you are for an honest conversation about reclaiming our inner voice. Let’s work on becoming our own biggest advocates and leave feeling recharged and ready for the month ahead.

Location: West Islip Public Library - Room D

*To ensure a focused and uninterrupted space, this group is for adults only.
