Why We R.E.A.D.
Mommy is… began with a simple truth:
Too many mothers and caregivers are expected to pour endlessly without being filled.
Take a moment for yourself and R.E.A.D. (Respect. Engage. Acquire. Develop.)
We wanted to create a community where rest is respected, joy is encouraged, and growth doesn’t require burnout.
This is not a space to fix you.
It’s a space to walk with you.
R-
Respect yourself gently
Respecting yourself gently means releasing the belief that you must push through exhaustion, silence your needs, or prove your worth through productivity.
Here, respect looks like:
-
Honoring your boundaries without apology
-
Allowing your capacity to change
-
Speaking to yourself with compassion
Gentleness is not weakness. It is wisdom.
E-
Engage in moments that fill your cup
Engaging in what fills your cup is about reconnecting with joy—not as a reward, but as nourishment.
In Mommy is…, we believe:
-
Pleasure is part of care
-
Joy is a form of resistance
-
You are allowed to receive
Your cup matters because you matter.
A-
Acquire rest without guilt
Rest does not need to be earned.
It does not require exhaustion as proof.
To acquire rest without guilt is to:
-
Release the pressure to always be “on”
-
Let go of productivity as your measure of worth
-
Trust that rest supports everyone you care for
Rest is an act of care—for you and your community.
D-
Develop the version of you that feels real
Development here isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise.
Wholeness looks like:
-
Growth that aligns with your values
-
Healing that doesn’t rush
-
Becoming without abandoning yourself
You don’t need to arrive finished to belong here.
