Break free from status quo motherwhelm, fuel the fire within, and build a more beautiful life.
Let's stay connected!
We're sorry you couldn't join us for this year's MotherWorthy, but let's stay in touch about future offerings + ideas.
MotherWorthy is an intimate, nine-month virtual experience designed for growth-oriented mothers who are fed up, ready to get real, and inspired to cultivate change from the inside out.
It’s for those who refuse to settle for the isolation, perfectionism, hyper-individualism, and judgment that plagues modern-day motherhood.
MotherWorthy mamas are willing to get messy and courageous in pursuit of a better way for themselves, their loved ones, and mothers the world over by learning to interrupt harmful cultural and familial patterns, understand and upgrade their coping strategies and stress responses, reclaim their right to belong within a caring community, and heal so that less of their own wounds will be passed on to the next generation.
We live in a culture that invisibilizes motherhood, dehumanizes mothers, and pretends caretakers don't have needs.
(This is intentional. It makes us easier to exploit.)
- Mothers are expected to perform as if we were superhuman while being resourced as if we were subhuman.
- Unpaid care work isn't counted in the GDP, even though care workers uphold literally everything our culture deems important.
- Schools don’t consider mothers’ needs even though we're integral to our children's learning and are expected to fill the gaps in our broken educational system.
- The majority of personal growth and self-help books aren't written to support mothers' experiences, even though we're among those reading them most.
- Workplaces don’t consider mothers’ needs, even though we’re essential to the bottom line.
The result is that mothers learn to invisibilize and deny their own needs and cope best they can, which perpetuates the very same realities that are hurting us.
MotherWorthy is a powerful antidote to these tragic cultural norms.
Here, we center our needs and amplify mothers' voices. We also explore our desires, unearth our truths and hold one another's hearts as we deconstruct the systems, structures, norms and narratives stacked against us.
MotherWorthy is for you if…
You find yourself looking around at the chaos, overwhelm, and endless menial tasks and thinking, “Is this really my life?”
You feel the absence of the village deep in your bones and are exhausted by all the hats you wear (that are supposed to be worn by a variety of community members).
Your personal growth is taking you into scary, unknown territory and you crave the support of others who truly get it.
You sense that you may be outgrowing some of your loved ones, which feels destabilizing and heartbreaking, at best.
You love being a mom, but you’re increasingly frustrated about the conditions under which you’re mothering.
The pace of your life feels unsustainable and life-force draining to you.
You suspect you may have unmet needs, but don’t know where to start in identifying them (much less feeling worthy of meeting them).
You’re too attuned to the natural order of things to be fooled by the “progress” and “advancements” of any culture that worships independence and prays at the altar of perfectionism.
You aspire to parent with consciousness and intention, yet often feel overwhelmed by the unrealistic standards this seems to require of you.
Deep down, you know yourself to be a changemaker and you’re learning how vital it is for you to be well-resourced both mentally and physically so you can do the work you were meant to do.
MotherWorthy is balm.
MotherWorthy is nourishment.
MotherWorthy is fuel for the fire within.
Imagine that
instead of overwhelmed, isolated, and constantly wondering whether you’re doing enough (or enough of the right things), you felt…
Getting clear on what’s most important to you, who you are beneath your stories and coping strategies, and what you need to feel better is a game changer.
It really is possible to live with more inner peace, and it doesn’t require denial, numbing, or dissociation to get there.
Find your people, root your relationships in emotional safety and true intimacy, and build the supportive community you long for.
Here’s the sobering truth:
Personal growth can only take us so far down the path of collective liberation, and some of the healing journey is only accessible to us when we’re in (emotionally safe) relationships with others.
Together, we’ll explore…
- The lesser-known reasons for your exhaustion and overwhelm.
- The benefits and drawbacks of growth and healing.
- The reason mothers are the world’s most natural and needed healers.
- How your unmet needs keep you from living out your values.
- Why “conscious” and “gentle” parenting paradigms are limited in their usefulness.
- How to find your people and what to do when you find them.
- Why trying to be a “good mom” isn’t really good for anyone.
- Why women who desperately need one another, hurt each other.
- The effects of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy on the way you think, feel, and move through the world.
- Why “mom guilt” is manipulative bullshit and how to let it go.
- How to make a bigger difference while loving your life more.
MotherWorthy will teach you how to…
Set boundaries.
Know when and how to say no (and why it can feel so challenging).
Access clarity around your most pressing needs.
See what’s been unseen and learn a variety of ways to get your needs met.

Witness and open up in a brave space that assumes positive intent and values repair and belonging.

Tap into the lessons and beauty that are all around us but often get forgotten amidst the busyness of modern life.
Feel like you’re enough.
Begin to look at your life through a lens of self-compassion while also realizing the immense invisible labor you are doing in a system that isn’t set up to value mothers.
Here's what some of our MotherWorthy mamas have to say...
What to expect
Beginning the first week in October 2023 through June 2024, you can expect to feel supported, empowered, stretched, inspired, celebrated, guided, seen, heard, encouraged, respected, and honored.
This will happen in the following ways...
Monthly content and teaching from Beth
Before the month's three group calls, Beth will send a monthly video, resources + reflective questions to bring the juicy topic home to you.
Three calls per month led by Beth
You will meet virtually the first three weeks of each month for a deep dive into the theme. This is where you will build connections with your fellow group members.

Invitation to our (optional) summer and/or fall in-person retreat
In the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, our retreats are deeply nourishing and nothing short of magical!

Each month for nine months, we will focus on a different set of topics designed to support you in not only thriving, but being the change you wish to see in the world.

* Important note...
In addition to the regularly scheduled content, I have been (and will continue to be) working toward "decolonizing" my curriculum. This means that, with the help of my racial equity coach/mentor, Marisol Jiménez, and anti-oppression educator, Emily Vincent (the newest member of our team), I will be examining the ways in which my own experiences and perspective can uphold dominant systems of power in my work and I will intentionally include experiences of motherhood that differ from my own.
This will be and has been an imperfect process, and I will make mistakes along the way. I'm committed to learning from my mistakes and doing better as I know better. I believe that braving courageous and sometimes uncomfortable conversations is an essential part of the journey toward liberation for each of us and all of us, and I'm wholeheartedly committed to creating spaces free from shaming or judgment within which to explore, heal, and transform together.
Meet Beth
I’m Beth Berry, educator, coach, author of Motherwhelmed, and mother of four daughters (ages 16, 19, 22, and 28). I’m a growth-obsessed, liberation-driven, heart-centered visionary in love with life here to live it as beautifully as I can.
I first created MotherWorthy eight years ago as a challenge to my introverted self. I couldn’t have imagined how deeply and broadly it would impact mothers’ lives, evolve my personal understanding of our unique needs, longings, and gifts, and open hundreds of hearts (including my own) to the life-changing power of sisterhood. Since then I’ve led more than 26 year-long groups and 12 in-person retreats. I can’t imagine my life without MotherWorthy.
Early in my mothering journey, I ran myself ragged trying to keep up with all the things: the cloth diapering, the tandem nursing, the attempts at homesteading, the pieced-together holistic education, etc. Slowly but surely, I’ve traded the bulk of my idealism for trust, and my perfectionism for self-compassion. In other words, motherhood has proven the catalyst for emotional and spiritual growth in ways I never imagined, and every member of my family is better for it, with myself at the top of that list.
When I’m not deconstructing cultural norms or circling with badass women, you can find me contra dancing, harmonizing in my local song circle, FaceTiming with one of my daughters, traveling to Mexico, reading or napping in my hammock, cuddling my kitten named Goose River, knitting, gardening, or hiking a mountain with my partner/best friend Jeremy.
If you, too, are on a growth and healing path and you hunger for a richer, more aligned and joyful life, please join us.
You’re worthy of sooo much more than you’ve been conditioned to believe is possible.
Kind words for MotherWorthy
Scholarships + equity seats
It is essential to me that MotherWorthy be made up of mothers who truly resonate with this work and deeply desire this experience. I recognize that some mothers who would love to join simply don’t have the financial means (the full-time job of motherhood is unpaid, after all). For this reason, I offer a limited number of scholarships (and also an opportunity for others to contribute to make more scholarships available).
*I offer these scholarships in good faith. Please act with integrity and only apply for a scholarship if you have a genuine need. This allows me to continue to offer this form of financial support to the mothers who need it most.
*Deadline to apply for a scholarship has passed.
I also offer discounted “Equity Seats” for BIPOC women, rooted in a reparations framework/mindset. This is one way we at Revolution From Home contribute to Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and mixed-race mothers struggling on the front lines and navigating the intersectionality of their identities. I see you, and I greatly value your presence in this space and contribution to this experience.
*Deadline to apply for an equity seat has passed.
Plus!
Guest facilitator and diversity, equity, and inclusion teacher/consultant Marisol Jiménez will be returning this year!
Over the course of four power-packed sessions, she will lead us in a conversation around:
• Relational Equity: Understanding Trauma, Relationships, and Power
• Liberatory Accountability: Exploring Accountability as a Healing Practice
I can’t say enough good things about Marisol and her skills as a teacher, mentor, and guide. We are incredibly fortunate to get to learn from her year after year!
And, by the way..
Though MotherWorthy is a complete and life-changing journey in and of itself, it is also the beginning of a longer, deeper journey for many women! Following MotherWorthy Year #1 you will be invited to Year #2 to explore a whole new set of transformational topics and deepen your connection with the women you’ve grown close to. After Year #2, you’ll be welcomed into MamaSage, our program exclusively for seasoned MotherWorthy mamas who can’t imagine their lives without this kind of support and sisterhood.
Whether for nine months or for a lifetime, we’re here to support you in creating the more beautiful life you long for. I hope to be circling with you soon!
Don’t worry, we know that life is FULL. Missing the occasional call is fine, call recordings are your friend. Call recordings are uploaded to your membership area within 24 hours, and are accessible via mobile app or website, so you can watch (or re-watch) at your convenience.
MotherWorthy is for mothers of all ages, demographics, and stages along the journey of growth. We're not concerned about the parenting paradigms you subscribe to, as this program isn’t about parenting. It’s about getting real, connecting courageously, and cultivating a soul-deep sense of wholeness from the wildest, wisest places within us. The only requirements are that you have a growth mindset, that you take your commitment to the experience and the group seriously, and that you be willing to connect from the heart.
You’re in good company, fellow introvert. Video hasn’t always been comfortable for me either, but the benefits of rich connection have proven way more valuable than the “safety” of staying hidden. Expansion is more likely when we make the brave choice over the more comfortable one (though we're committed to creating a space that feels comfortable, too).
We recognize that it's challenging to carve out time away from our children in order to meet (at last some of!) our own needs. Please do your best to make sure your children’s needs are being met by someone else during our calls. That said, we understand if this is not always possible, and we can easily mute you as needed. Calls will be recorded and replays posted.
Yes! All three monthly calls will be facilitated by Beth.
Occasionally, a day may be rescheduled to the fourth week of the month, if and when unexpected things come up, but typically, the call schedule goes as follows, with a total of three Zoom calls per month.

We understand that circumstances can change, but we are unable to offer refunds for MotherWorthy.
Here's why: Our program has a limited number of spots available, and when you join, you take up one of these valuable spots. By doing so, you not only commit to your own growth and healing, but you also occupy a space that could have been filled by someone else seeking this transformational opportunity.
We believe in fairness and maximizing the benefit for all participants, which is why we maintain this policy.
Please keep in mind that our program relies on monthly payments to maintain its quality and support you effectively. Even if you decide to withdraw, these payments will continue as outlined in our terms and conditions. We encourage you to embrace this opportunity for positive change and make the most of your experience with us. We're here to support you every step of the way.
What I've found in my time working with moms in MotherWorthy is that those who commit most fully, will get much more out of the experience. That's one of the reasons why MotherWorthy is 9 months long, because the curriculum, connections and community, all build together over time.
If you decide to join us, full payment will be due (including any ongoing monthly payments), even if you later decide to withdraw, so please enroll with intention.
For the lifetime of the course, or at least one year.
One of the bonuses of being in MotherWorthy is that you get access to the Revolution From Home Virtual Village on Mighty Networks included! If you currently have a paid subscription to the Virtual Village, you don't need to reach out to us - we'll handle things on the back-end so that your Virtual Village payments will be paused while you're in MotherWorthy.
Who MotherWorthy is NOT for…
• Those looking for a group about parenting or child development. Though we are all mothers here, this is experience is for and about us, not our kids.
• Those operating from a victim mentality and/or unwilling to self-reflect.
• Those who aren’t interested in working toward liberation for us all.
• Those looking for a passive experience that they may or may not show up for.
• Those looking for a place to vent, complain, or “man bash.”
• Those struggling with addiction/substance abuse, partner violence, or other such acute challenges that require the support of specifically trained professionals.
Who MotherWorthy is for…
• Mothers who want to model thriving for their kids.
• Mothers who want to better understand all that’s working against us and what to do about it.
• Mothers who long to feel more aligned with their true self and bold in their authenticity.
• Mothers tired of feeling isolated, under-appreciated, and invisibilized.
• Mothers who know, deep down, that life is about so much more than efficiency, organization, and conventional measures of success.
• Mothers who know that making a difference and co-creating a more beautiful world requires soulful connection with others.
I invite you to join me and the thousands of mothers who are…
…done pretending this version of motherhood is working for us,
…getting real and being brave even when it means getting messy
and uncomfortable,
…taking our needs seriously,
…stepping into our worthiness,
…reconnecting radically.
Don't Miss Out!
