3 short lessons with worksheets:

• Dark Closet Inventory
• Mom Shame Inventory
• Struggle Snapshot

You'll come back to the answers later in the course.

Another quick module:

• We'll learn science-backed nervous system mechanics
• Then, we'll cover 35 of the most scientifically supported ways to calm down, relax, de-stress
• You'll get 16 subversive, totally original, yet evidence-based ideas for dealing with feral feelings

You'll receive some worksheets that will prompt you to make a "toolkit" of ways to take care of yourself in different situations. 

You'll get ideas from the three module lessons, and bonus resources if you need them:

• what to do if you need therapy and can't afford it
• a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" list of resources
• and MY personal tool chest that has rescued me many times from nervous system collapse!

We'll look at the way we all experience motherhood in our culture, using four "umbrellas": 

1. Our Situation: An overview of what I call the Motherhood Pain Hexad: shame/guilt, loneliness, exhaustion, trauma, grief, and sacrificial cost
2. Our Taming: We'll talk about self-silencing and what it does to us
3. Our Culture: We'll get into the pedestal trap—the way women are lured into motherhood, thinking we'll be valued, but then we're scapegoated and abandoned
4. Our Policing: We'll talk about how we're policed as moms but also how we police each other and ourselves

^{*yells with excitement*} MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE COURSE!!

• We'll dig into kyriarchical motherhood because patriarchal motherhood just scratches the surface! Get flooded with transforming insight.
  
• We'll autopsy then lay to rest The Good Mother— she's just a propaganda image bullying you into an identity that serves everyone but you!
• You'll be introduced to "the immortality hustle": the driving force for many (most?) moms and its tie to white supremacy 
• You'll learn how to find the root source of why you can't seem to solve some of your mothering problems, no matter what you do and how hard you try. (For anyone whose village responds to logic over emotion, you’ll be ready to drop the evidence they need to understand why you're letting some things go without apologies. You'll feel like such a brilliant badass!)
• We'll take Module 1's mom shame inventory into our CSI forensics lab. What ghosts and monsters are really pulling the strings?    

• We'll dig a grave for Shame and get clear on Guilt's place in our lives—based on our own values and no one else's!
• We'll get clear on the difference between blame, accountability, and responsibility. You're still responsible for fixing some problems you didn't create. The difference? Whether you'll feel shame or not.
• My shame interrogation  might feel like soul alchemy! This is the work I do that has saved my life more than once. 

My second-favourite part of the course! 

• The Good Mother died. We'll resurrect her as The Free Mother! For every value and logic The Good Mother offers, we'll replace it with something liberatory, sustainable, and healthy!
• You'll get 50 ideas for how to create matriarchy in your life: mutual aid, new currencies, and a new culture. 
• You'll go deep into how mothers and children could liberate each other. What does it mean to be truly liberated? What values do we need to guide us? How can we live into The Liberated Mothers' Manifesto?

• You'll make your own family manifesto to guide you going forward 
• Different from the toolkit you built earlier in the course, you'll recruit help to build a Radical Self-Compassion Toolkit—something that feels like mega love on your hardest days.
• We'll close out with poetry and talk of getting free by degrees. <3
