One day, I had an epiphany and I wanted to reach moms, those who were sitting at home unsure how they would get through the next week, next day or next minute.
On March 11, 2017, I decided to walk my talk that 'No Mama Should Mama Alone' and went on Facebook to share a video about my offer to help 50 mamas in 50 days. Within a few hours, the video had been seen by over 500 people and after 3 weeks it had been viewed 5100 times, reaching 11,000 people https://www.facebook.com/MamaConUS/videos/1432461893473335
My message struck a chord with mamas who were feeling disconnected and alone.

Day 5 - strategized with a mama in Ottawa, Canada about her son who has hit the defiant stage
Day 6 - met a mama at a toy store to find the perfect toy for her preschooler
Day 7 - brainstormed a new business idea with a mama, sparking a new passion pathway
Day 12 - trained with a mama for her first 5K in June
Day 14 - met a mama who is launching a new business and is seeking ideas to better balance her time
Day 18 - completed a closet edit with a mama who wanted to let go of her old styles and redefine herself
Day 21 - meeting a mama to identify ways to simplify her life after bringing home baby #2
Day 25 - planted a new garden with a mama who wants to write her novel and be surrounded by flowers
The requests for connection kept coming from around the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia thanks to the power of social media.
One of the women who reached out was Priyanka. This episode dives deeper into her loneliness as a mama in a new country.
