This week we will have Cindy Scharkey, RN, BSN, PHN coming to speak to us about Permission for Pleasure. Join us for an honest and refreshing conversation about women, connection, and intimacy. Our guest speaker will help us unpack how understanding our bodies and minds can lead to deeper confidence, stronger relationships, and a healthier view of ourselves.

We’ll explore topics like:

-Letting go of shame and embracing grace in every season of womanhood
-Understanding desire and how our brains and bodies are designed
-Building better communication and connection with our spouses
-Learning to be more present, mindful, and gentle with ourselves

It’s a safe, encouraging space to learn, laugh, and be reminded that God designed us for connection—body, mind, and spirit. You won’t want to miss this one!

MOMSWAP is one of the best weeks of the season! It’s a time to clean out some of our own things, shopping with others, and connecting to those in the room. And anything not shopped for gets donated to Mariners Thrift Store!

Pro tip: think, “would I give this to a friend,” and then bring it! It’s also really helpful if like items are labeled in bags.

Can’t wait to “shop” with you!

This week’s guest speaker is Donna Petit. Donna works with individuals, couples, and families at a counseling center in San Clemente as a relationship and mental health coach.
We’re so excited for her knowledge on the topic of enneagrams and how she will share with us this week.
In this talk, we’ll explore how the Enneagram can be a meaningful and practical tool for moms. By understanding our unique type, we can recognize our strengths, identify our stress points, and learn what truly helps us thrive. Together, we’ll reflect on how this self-awareness can bring more calm to our homes, more empathy to our relationships, and more kindness to ourselves.

As the week continues we would like to think back to Friday and all that it held. Remembering babies, both here and in heaven, the stories told, the vulnerability, the laughter and tears. Incredibly grateful for the time that we get to spend together on Friday mornings.

This year’s theme: Make it Awkward.

This week we’ll dig into that as we have a week of connection with our tables and others in the room. We’ll enjoy breakfast and drink a cup of coffee (or two), we’ll work on our serve project for , create (or maybe even re-create) awkward moments, we’ll sit, breathe, laugh, maybe cry, build relationships and so much more. Come ready. Great things are happening.
