Welcome to Being In Motherhood

Welcome, I am Emma Del Rey, space-holder of Being in Motherhood where the mother is held and tended to in community as we navigate the ever-winding path of motherhood. This community is rooted in depth, connection, honesty, and nourishment. You will have opportunities to share your own experiences and hold spaces for others as they share theirs.

Together, we will explore nourishing ourselves in motherhood with our own attention. I will hold space for you to explore your relationship with yourself and how you experience the present moment.

I am growing and learning right alongside this community. I spend time caring for myself, grounding myself, and practicing what I share about in my writing. You can read more about my journey and how this space can support you here.

Kind words from others

“Mothers supporting mothers. Everyday. Always.” - LeAnna Bricker

“I cannot express how much Emma's words soothe and support me as I journey with Motherhood. I am so grateful for her honest expression and the presence she brings to this space. ” - Lauren Barber

“Emma shares her own honest experiences and those of other mothers, and I have found it such a relief to read that other people have had such similar experiences to me. Since I gave birth to my son in November 2020, I've often believed there is something wrong with me for finding motherhood so hard. Reading Being in Motherhood helps me to know that I am not alone and there is nothing wrong with me. Emma also shares ideas and practices like meditation and self-compassion to support ourselves as mothers. I often forget to bring these practices into my life so I really appreciate these reminders!” - Ellie Nova
