SUMMARY:Touched Out
DESCRIPTION:When care\, closeness\, and being needed start to feel like too much. \nSometimes the people we love aren’t the problem — our capacity is simply spent. This workshop explores what happens when caregiving\, touch\, noise\, requests\, and constant access to us begin to feel overwhelming\, and how we can recognize what our bodies are asking for before we hit the point of wanting everyone to leave us alone.

SUMMARY:The Good Mom Trap
DESCRIPTION:When being a good mom starts to mean being responsible for everything. \nMotherhood can quietly become a long list of expectations: anticipate everyone’s needs\, keep things running\, stay patient\, make the right choices — and somehow take care of yourself too. This workshop explores the pressure\, responsibility\, and invisible mental load that can make it difficult to know where caring for others ends and carrying everything begins.
