Why Did Nobody Tell Me This?

Welcome to Why Did Nobody Tell Me This? A day for the woman behind the mother Join us for an intimate and relaxed day of honest conversations about the parts of motherhood we all experience, but we rarely talk about. Motherhood can be brutal, beautiful, hilarious, exhausting, confusing, identity-collapsing and completely unlike what anyone prepared you for. We created Why Did Nobody Tell Me This? because we wanted the day we wish we'd had ourselves, a space to step out of the mental load (and the fifty tabs open at once) so you can slow down, feel understood, be held, and learn practical psychology backed tools that actually help, so you can reconnect you with feeling like you again. Think psychology meets a mum's day out, with an incredible line-up of experts, honest conversations, practical tools, yummy food, beautiful experiences and permission to take off the perfect-mother mask. Here's what's included in your ticket: 💌 An incredible line-up of experts across psychology, maternal mental health, OT, wellbeing and more 💌 Practical evidence-based tools you will actually use for coping with overwhelm, nervous system regulation, reconnecting with your identity, navigating your relationships, reducing your mental load and managing the realities of motherhood 💌 A group styling session where you’ll discover the colours, shapes and styling hacks that help you feel more confident and like yourself again. (A few lucky attendees will have their own colour analysis done too!) 💌 A thoughtfully curated gift box packed with beautiful, helpful and useful goodies to take home 💌 Meaningful psychology-based activities and reflections to help you reconnect with you, your inner child and your future self with practical tools to take home and use long after the event 💌 Fully catered morning tea, lunch & treats throughout the day 💌 Honest conversations about the parts of motherhood we don't always talk about 💌 A room full of other mums who just get it 💌 A beautiful beachfront setting in Bondi Come solo or with your best mum friend and make a day of it! The conversations we're inviting you into ✨ Matrescence & the maternal brain Understanding the profound changes that happen to your brain, body and sense of self when you become a mother. ✨ Motherhood, ADHD & the mental load Why motherhood can feel like too much — and practical ways to create more space, ease and capacity. ✨ Letting go of the pressure to be a perfect parent Moving beyond impossible expectations and finding a way of parenting that feels right for you. ✨ Big feelings- theirs and yours Understanding your child's emotions while learning how to navigate and care for your own. ✨ Play, joy & fun Finding your way back to the lighter, more playful parts of yourself outside of motherhood. ✨ Finding yourself again Reconnecting back with the woman you are beyond the role of Mum. Part education. Part connection. Part play. Part exhale. Our why: Why Did Nobody Tell Me This? is the space we wish existed for mothers, where expert knowledge and psychology meet lived experience, the polished version of motherhood gets left at the door, and you leave feeling reassured, recharged and a little more like yourself. Only 30 tickets available, We've intentionally kept this a small, intimate experience so there's space for genuine connection, conversation and a really special day. We'd absolutely love to have you there. xx
