Why “The Mom Diaries?”

Hi there! I’m Kay M., a mom of two young children from NJ. I’m also a doctoral student in clinical psychology. I want to unpack, discuss, and research “friendship in motherhood,” with you. Do you have a story to tell? Will you join me? :)

Hey Everyone!

I hope you’ll take a moment to listen to my goal for launching The Mom Diaries….

I think “friendship in motherhood” is a worthy and important topic to unpack, and I’m hoping to do this both as a mom of two young children and as a graduate student in clinical psychology.

I view this channel as a place to exchange stories about friendship, cliques, bullying, boundaries, positive alliances, and “friendship in motherhood.” I imagine us building community around these shared interests, and learning from each other, with the ultimate goal of lifting each other up and promoting inclusion in our communities—as mothers, creators, & professionals.

What questions would you like to see answered here about friendship in motherhood?

A few I would like to answer….

  • How did COVID-19 affect friendship in motherhood?

  • Does friendship boost our mental health and indirectly impact our children and spouse’s well-being?

  • What happens when we think we’ve found a group of moms to call our “Crew” and then that village disappears?

Join me!

Warmly,

Kay
