This is a safe space 🤍 Take a moment to reflect: - One hard moment you experienced this week - One thing you’re currently holding emotionally or mentally You don’t need to filter your experience here. You’re safe to share here.

Welcome to Ina Village: A Free Community for Mothers Who Are Done Carrying It Alone. This is not a parenting group. This is not a space to perform fine. This is your village. 🌿 Ina Village is a free community created by Janarra Anderson — birth and postpartum doula, matrescence educator, and mother of four, for mothers who are exhausted in a way they can’t quite explain and ready to finally have language for what they’ve been living. Inside this group you’ll find: ✅ Weekly education on matrescence — the word that changes everything ✅ Real conversations about the mental load, the default parent pattern, and what real support looks like ✅ Access to the free Ina Circles every Tuesday at 2pm ET — community talk + Coming Back to Body somatic practice ✅ A matrescence classroom on Skool + YouTube — yours to access anytime ✅ A community of mamas who already know what you mean before you finish the sentence There are two rules here: 1. What’s shared in this village stays in this village 2. You never have to perform fine to belong here Everything is welcome. Come as you are. 🌿 “We don’t have a maternal weakness crisis. We have a maternal support crisis.” — Janarra Anderson, Ina Postpartum Collective

A simple tool for today: Grounding Exercise (5-4-3-2-1 method) - 5 things you can see - 4 things you can touch - 3 things you can hear - 2 things you can smell - 1 thing you can taste or feel This helps bring your mind back to the present when things feel overwhelming. Try this today and let us know how it felt.

Let’s pause for a moment 🤍 - How are you actually doing today? - What feels heavy right now? No need to overthink your answer. Just be honest with yourself. Share if you feel comfortable 🤍

No one really prepares you for this part… Matrescence is the transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother. Not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and even in your identity. It’s why you can feel: - Overwhelmed but grateful - Lost but deeply in love - Exhausted but still showing up Nothing is “wrong” with you. You’re not failing. You’re becoming. And that process? It’s messy, beautiful, and real. What part of this resonates with you? 💭
