Honest Mamas is a website devoted to the authentic emotional and spiritual lives of mothers. The focus of the site is the journey of motherhood, including fertility and pregnancy. It is an online community that supports women during these transitional and transformational times, when grounded, positive and honest information is vital to their emotional well being. Honest Mamas is a place to be real, witnessed, celebrated, and comforted.
As new mothers, the three creators of Honest Mamas, all licensed psychotherapists, found a huge gap in the “industry of support” around pregnancy and motherhood. Many of the top websites for pregnant women and new moms primarily focused on baby/child development, parenting advice, products and gear, baby names, etc. Very few resources were available to support the emotional and spiritual changes they were going through—each longed for a safe place to be heard and to hear the authentic voices of other mothers in struggle and in celebration.
