Super Moms United
You are not alone.
No woman ever planned to be a Super Mom when they had a partner and thought about raising a family. That’s why we understand it can get difficult sometimes, especially for Super Moms who face unique challenges that can become particularly overwhelming when you don’t have a support group. We want to help you get the support you need to keep striving and become the best Super Mom for your loved ones. The following are some resources that can help you, depending on the challenges you’re facing.

Resources for Super Moms
There are many amazing resources for parents, but very few are focused on Super Moms.
Here are some organizations who are working on great initiatives for Super Moms,
as well as other Super Mom-approved resources.
Emotional Support
Brené Brown
books + podcasts
In my journey to becoming a Super Mom, a great friend of mine recommended me to listen to Brené Brown. Best. Advice. Ever. Brené’s insights on vulnerability spoke to me like nothing else. For the 1st time since the start of my journey, I found peace to the sound of her voice, as she tamed my emotions with reason. She’s definitely a ‘must’ in your podcast collection when you’re feeling vulnerable and need some empathy and a voice of reason.
The Motherhood Center
The Motherhood Center in New York is an amazing resource for new moms struggling with the challenges it brings. It provides counseling and consultation, classes, and support groups, which are all virtual these days. They also have an amazing day program for new mothers suffering from postpartum depression. They are currently working on programs which focus on the challenges and needs of Super Moms.
Mommies Matter
+ partners
No woman should have to go through a pregnancy alone. If you find yourself expecting a child without your partner, getting support is the most important thing you’ll need. Mommies Matter is an organization with a religious approach that aims to support Super Moms-to-be through their pregnancies, the birth of their child, postpartum, and beyond by extending their pregnancy care services. Find out more on how they can help you.
