Who This Community Is For

This is For YOU If:

You’ve ever felt like motherhood broke something open in you — in a hard and holy way. You want community, but not performative “perfect mom” groups. You want support that’s grounded in science and soul. You’re curious about healing generational patterns — but also just need help getting through bedtime. You believe your story could matter, if someone actually listened.

Why This Matters:

This isn’t just a community.

It’s a collective advocacy platform where your voice feeds into an ongoing research project designed to reshape the systems that fail us. 🧠 The Parenthood Project supports Ashley's Master’s thesis in Public Health, collecting real stories and data to prove what we already know: mothers aren’t getting the support they need. Your membership = your voice in the movement.

Meet The Founder

👋Hi, I’m Ashley — doula, nervous system educator, mother of 7, and the founder of Phoenix Parent Coaching. I built this space to do two things: Hold mothers with care, and Tell the truth about what support really looks like. Because parenting can be hard. But getting support shouldn’t be. And with this community? It doesn’t have to be.
