Nope. This is for any woman in the process of becoming, whether that's days, months, or even years after birth. Our current, fall 2025 cohorts are designed for moms pregnant up to parenting a preschooler about to enter kindergarten. If you're outside of this window, please still get on the list and indicate where you are in your journey so we can group a cohort together for you!

Motherhood is a lifelong identity transition, not a 6-week checkup window! Many women never had time or support to process their experience - and that's why BECOME is for you, too.

We've intentionally created this space as a respite from caregiving, a moment to center yourself fully and a place that can help you and your partner/support people practice  giving you at least an hour to yourself each week! If you have a child who is not crawling and/or needs to breastfeed, we recommend attending the virtual cohort! For the in-person cohort, this is a space just for moms. We don't currently offer onsite childcare but are exploring options for the future both for on site care & babysitting partnerships!

This is the beauty of having lots of amazing models for circles, group, support! If you are looking for a playgroup, parent/child group or class, etc., there are TONS of amazing ones out there. If you are in a season where you really need the space and physical container to focus on you , then this might be the group for you! 

Great question! There are many amazing groups that do this. BECOME has intentionally chosen not to because healing and identity work don't follow a straight line. 

When women gather across stages, we build interconnected wisdom  and see ourselves reflected in on another. 

 BECOME honors the truth that this journey is personal and collective, and you belong in this space right where you are. 

Does this mean that other circles or groups that DO separate based by age/stage or timeline are doing it wrong? NO WAY! There is also great intention and benefit from that! Groups supporting a specific stage also carry incredible value & comradery in a focused, timely way. It's important to consider what you are hoping for out of a group to ensure it's the best fit for you. 

Each circle is about 60-75 minutes, with an optional wind-down time after for social connection. The full experience runs for 6 weeks with sessions happening one every other week. This allows your family a chance to plan things on the weekends while you're still participating, and for you to integrate what you are taking away from circles into your real life! 

We extend the time for the last session just a bit so that we can offer you a hand-selected resource fair of professionals specifically geared towards the needs and interests of your cohort! We want you to walk away with additional, tangible supports beyond the circles. 

Because this is an experience that builds on itself and participation is capped, we ask that you commit to the full journey. This creates deeper trust and a stronger container for everyone. 

Each circle is capped at 10 women, with a minimum of 6 to run. This keeps the space intimate, safe, and truly connective. 

We take safety incredibly seriously. Each participant agrees to a code of participation which outlines expectations, engagement, boundaries, confidentiality, and we reserve the right to dismiss any participant in violation of these agreements. 

Absolutely not! Come as you are comfortable! And there are no "right words" or perfect answers. No prep work. Just your honest self and an open mind. All reflections are guided and any sharing is always optional. You're free to pass or just listen. You're not here to perform, you're here to be held. 

BECOME isn't therapy. But you will come away with insights about yourself and hopefully feel like it's the deep exhale you didn't even know you needed! 

Therapy is its own, very important component to transitions. Most people can benefit from therapy! But that is a separate set of skills, credentials, practice, etc. that we don't offer as a part of the circle. BECOME can be a great companion to therapy! 

We're also not exactly like a support group, however you will be supported and build a group of other moms who might become your support people! BECOME is a guided rite of passage, rooted in research on matrescence, identity formation, and the power of women gathering. So yes, we support each other. But there are other components beyond sharing and a traditional support group model that makes us not quite fit in that category! 

You'll receive practical tools, a framework to navigate life & mom transitions that you can carry with you across the lifespan, reflection practices, a sense of shared meaning, education around matrescence, access to local professionals/resources, with the option to also engage in sharing around your own experience. 

Life happens, we get it! Especially mom life! If you need to miss a session, you'll still receive any materials/prompts/community updates. Unless something really significant is going on, we ask that you not miss more than 1 session. Because this is an experience that builds on itself, it really does make a difference, for yourself and others, when you are able to be fully present for all the sessions. That said, if you need to miss one, you will 100% be able to jump back in the next session!

We're so excited to be able to offer a special rate for Fall 2025! 

• Early Bird (limited spots): $147
• Standard Rate: $197
• Current/Previous Clients or Referral Code from a Participating Referral Partner: $127

We believe that big transitions deserve deeper support--AND that should be accessible. If cost is a barrier, reach out. We'll do what we can. 

We are unable to provide refunds for BECOME Circles. In the event a Circle is cancelled by the facilitator, you will receive a full refund or option to transfer registration.
