I was honored to be a guest on the Birth, Baby! podcast to share the Mamistad Mission with a Mamistad Favorite: Empowered Beginnings ATX Thanks Ciarra! On YouTube On Apple to give birth is a uniquely empowering and emotionally transformative gift. Still, isolation during pregnancy-especially the first-and early motherhood, can feel like quicksand. While support is key, the "motherhood village" can be elusive for many of us in this modern and transient world. We must build our own. Finding a group of mothers ready to face the motherhood journey together can bring invaluable relief and a crucial realization: it's not just you experiencing this whirlwind of emotions - and every single feeling is valid. Though the art of personal connection may be fading, the spiritually fertile motherhood space is ideal for rediscovering it. We can feel "all over the place" - together. ~ Cynthia The ability Join Us! Past to Present I'm Cynthia and I created Mamistad in Falls Church Virginia in 2005 in honor of my own incredible mom and life-long teacher, Guadalupe, and my own beautiful daughter, and favorite human being, Jasmine. Mamistad was created just months before my Jasmine was born. As a result, she was welcomed into a loving sisterhood of awesome women and lots of little friends! Mamistad Mama Tribes are created for moms who are due or delivered their first babies within 3-4 months of one another. The goal is to connect each circle of friends early so that they, their babies and their families can continue to bond as they move through the ups and downs of their new journeys together and form an amazing Mamistad community. Our groups are currently in the NOVA/DC, Austin, TX and Denver, CO areas. We've also had successful pop-up groups in Boston, NYC, and L.A. We'll be back there and in new cities too! Mamistad has now welcomed thousands of moms and formed hundreds of groups. Partners have joined in and Mamistad Communities are having BBQ's and birthday parties, camping trips and holiday gatherings, and even taking vacations together. Our members are amazing women doing great things. They range from those who just learned they are pregnant for the first time, to those of us whose kiddos started college this year! We all keep moving forward, together. The Mamistad Podcast, Mom Chat with Mamistad, launched on Valentine's Day, 2024. It has been phenomenal! In a short time, we've shared with and learned from many incredible moms and experts. Through the creation of the Mami Circle (our curated list of professionals), we launched a collaboration with experts in the perinatal field to bring amazing resources to our members. Future Mamistad will continue to flourish as new members continue to join across the country. Our community will grow and evolve with this unpredictable world while we do our best to raise beautiful. loved and responsible human beings, together. We will continue to strive for a world where mothers are seen, loved and celebrated and where our health and well-being is never undervalued or overlooked. Mamistad. Mamistad Mami & Founder I'm Cynthia.. FAQ What happens after I submit my profile? You'll be routed to our Events page where we hope you'll sign up for the next New Member Zoom Chat to have all of your questions answered. You'll also reciive a welcome letter, usually within 1 or 2 days with more information about your potential group. Do I have to attend a New Member Zoom Chat? I ask that you attend a New Member Zoom Chat because there is a spirit to this group that I hope to convey in these meetings. It's also a great way for you to meet other new moms and feel apart of the group from the start. Members are usually even more excited to connect with their new groups after these meetings. I work from home, where do I fit in? One of the criteria for group placement is your post-delilvery work plans - Office or Stay-at-home. If you work from home, please choose the category that best matches your availability to connect with your group. Can I get a refund if I don't like my group? I ask all members to meet with their groups at least 3 times before they decide that the group is not for them. I also ask that you meet all the members (if possible) before making a decision. More times than not, moms make snap judgments about leaving groups and then return to try again. If your group still doesn't work for you, we will work together to find another group for you with a similar profile that is open to a new member. Can I be in more than one group? Yes, for your basic membership fee, I will place you in two groups as long as you are able to be active in both. Active means that your group members are in touch with you on a regular basis and that you are a supportive member of the group. They know that you attend events as often as possible. In other words, your group can vouch for the fact that you are "active". :)

JOIN US! Members Only Page MAMI GROUP TIP: Significant Others should get involved too. After you've gotten to know your fellow group members, plan a call/walk or outing with your "support person". Whether its your spouse, partner, mother,father... it's important to share this part of your life with them too. When your baby arrives, they will join a COMMUNITY, and that's golden. ;0) MAMI GROUP TIP: The most successful group members are those that reach out to their fellow Mamistad Group Members as soon as they are officially introduced via email. You'll be so grateful that if you make strong connections BEFORE baby arrives! :) MAMI TIP : Snack Master! We all need one after baby arrives so, make your significant other (or whoever will be around most), our SNACK MASTER. They should keep your supply of go-to healthy snacks and plenty of water available. New moms get run down due to lack of sleep and we get headachey when we "forget to eat" bc we're so wrapped up in baby! Breastfeeding Mamis - you are literally eating for two! :) Members, click for the latest Mami Memo! Events Page MAMI GROUP TIP : Schedule a weekly zoom call at the same time/day every week-then block it out! You need & deserve this time. Regardless of how many can make the call, make sure you check in with each member. :) *These calls are crucial when everyone can't meet in person! JOIN US PAGE MAMI TIP : The best Mamistad experiences are those of moms who RSVP for a New Member Zoom Chat as soon as they submit their profile. They get all the info they need right away and are sometimes in a group within a few days! Those who put it off because they are too busy preparing for baby often regret not having found Mami friends BEFORE they felt overwhelmed. :( MAMI GROUP TIP : The most successful members are those that share openly and without judgment. We all have our ideas of how motherhood should go, but when we open our minds to our sister mamas, we learn that there's no one right way to be a mother. I t's not just you ! One of the toughest things about being a mom is honoring yourself. Motherhood brings vulnerability. Support and friendship on this journey matter. Kindness matters. Your Mom Power sustains your children & family. Collectively, Our Mom Power sustains the world. Welcome to the Mamihood. Mamistad! Mamistad groups are created to connect first-time expecting and new moms whose babies were due /delivered within 3-4 months of one another, so they share Mami Milestones together. Once placed in a group, your contact info is shared with your group members only. It's easy! 1. Click the Join Us tab & submit your profile. 2. RSVP and join us for a quick virtual New Member Zoom Chat. 3. Submit a small one-time fee & ENJOY! Meet the doula Friday May 30th DC Doulas
