MotherWorthy is an intimate, 11-month, in-person circle for those in and around Asheville, North Carolina. It’s designed for growth-oriented mothers who are fed up with feeling invisible and are inspired to cultivate deep personal growth, authentic face-to-face connections, lasting empowerment from the inside out, and a community rooted in true belonging.
Our 11-month, in-person circle is crafted for mothers like you, ready to reclaim joy, connect deeply with like-minded women, and transform your life from the inside out. It’s a space for mothers in the thick of it, where we focus on YOU as a woman, helping you regain your sense of self and personal identity.
Through profound personal growth, supportive community connections, and deep healing, you’ll emerge more empowered, balanced, and fulfilled.
We're working toward a future where mothers' needs are visible and well-met, and moms feel supported and able to create lives they truly love without the guilt.
This community is so special. When my energy is depleted, it feels like a small luxury to find an email in my inbox from one of Beth’s blog posts that is always relevant and reminding me of this guiding light to keep me on solid ground with whatever life is throwing my way that day. I feel seen. She cuts through all the bullshit and it’s just the truth looking right back at me. I am so grateful that there is another person who is able to constructively tell it like it is and not pretending to be someone else or having to please anyone. This is the most valuable aspect of the Motherworthy experience for me. The authenticity of it all.
I wondered if I could make the time and actually show up regularly with children at home, and I also felt guilty spending money to talk on the computer, but MotherWorthy opened my world to resources and people I would have never found on my own. It was a fast track ticket to the personal growth I was craving and provided me with the support I needed without bypassing the work that I need to do. . It has been life changing for me.
I've gained so very much from MotherWorthy! A whole new vocabulary that makes so many stressful things make sense now. New friends that I can talk to and know I will get honest but supportive feedback from. A guide into motherhood that no one else in my life offered.
Unlike other women’s groups I had been a part of, there wasn’t an ounce of pretense. The tone was consistent. There were no facades needed, no apologies or excuses necessary.Beth kept us on track with timing and agenda and there was always a little lesson or focus piece, but it was never heady or demanding, more like a gentle nudge to be introspective while being held.
MotherWorthy has been my answer to the question, 'Who takes care of the caretakers?' The answer is we take care of one another. I was amazed at the power of collective soul-searching, healing, sharing, and connecting even in a virtual platform could create a palpable force for showing up in my corner of the world with renewed strength. MotherWorthy is the only place in my life I feel a deep reverence for the role of motherhood that I carry forward into my own life, relationships, and greater world.
You aren’t the only one feeling it.
Motherhood is often invisibilized, dehumanized, and reduced to a mere footnote in the narrative of societal importance. We are frequently overlooked, our needs dismissed, and our contributions undervalued.
It’s time to shift this narrative, together.
Amidst the relentless demands of caregiving, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your own identity, passions, and desires.
The constant focus on others’ needs leaves little room for self-reflection or personal growth. This loss of self can lead to feelings of emptiness and confusion, as you struggle to remember who you were before you became a mother.
Reclaiming this sense of self is crucial, not only for your personal fulfillment but also for modeling a balanced, authentic life for your children.
MotherWorthy will help you engage deeply with your passions and embrace a more joyful, authentic version of yourself.
Picture moments of peace where you can read a book, enjoy a hobby, or simply relax without guilt, knowing your community has your back.
I want you to be able to navigate motherhood with confidence, supported by an in-person network of growth-minded, heart-centered women who understand your journey. To have a space to lean on others who offering understanding, not judgement.
MotherWorthy is an intimate, 11-month, in-person circle designed for growth-oriented mothers who are ready to reclaim their joy, connect deeply with like-minded women, and transform their lives 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 the pursuit of a better way for themselves, which trickles down to their loved ones, and mothers the world over.
Together, we interrupt harmful cultural and familial patterns, understand and upgrade our coping strategies and stress responses, reclaim our right to belong within a caring community, and heal so that fewer of our own wounds are passed onto the next generation.
→ The lesser-known reasons for your exhaustion and overwhelm.
→ The benefits and drawbacks of growth and healing.
→ Why mothers are the world’s most natural and needed healers.
→ How unmet needs keep you from living out your values.
→ The limitations of “conscious” and “gentle” parenting paradigms.
→ 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 often hurt each other.
→ The effects of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy on your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
→ Why “mom guilt” is manipulative bullshit and how to let it go.
→ How to make a bigger difference while loving your life more.
Personal growth can only take us so far on the path to collective liberation. Some parts of the healing journey are only accessible in emotionally safe relationships, meaning true transformation happens within a supportive community.
Isolation is a significant challenge for many mothers. Society often fails to support us beyond the postpartum period, leaving us to navigate motherhood alone. Inside MotherWorthy, we understand how hard it is to be a whole woman and an invested mother without community. We teach healthier ways to form lasting, deep friendships and create a supportive network.
By surrounding ourselves with others on the same journey, we strengthen our empowerment and wellness, standing strong in these broken systems while still enjoying our lives.
This is a space that understands the profound need for mothers to feel seen, heard, understood, and validated without needing to uphold an image of perfectionism.
We prioritize your identity as a woman, not just as a mother, ensuring that your unique needs and desires are recognized and celebrated in a supportive space.
We are committed to "decolonizing" our curriculum with the help of racial equity coach Marisol Jiménez. This involves examining how our perspectives may uphold dominant systems of power and intentionally including diverse experiences of motherhood.
This process is imperfect, and we will make mistakes. However, we are dedicated to learning, improving, and creating spaces free from shaming or judgment for exploration, healing, and transformation.
This will happen in the following ways:
We'll gather the first three weeks of each month for an in-depth exploration of the theme. These circles will help you build connections with your fellow group members.
Join our monthly Community Conversations, open to everyone from the worldwide MotherWorthy Community, both past and present. Engage with a network of changemaker modern mothers through these enriching sessions, designed to offer support, share insights, and foster meaningful connections.
Held in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, our retreats are deeply nourishing and nothing short of magical!
Continue the conversation between calls and deepen your connection with those in your group.
Each month, before the three in-person meetings, Beth will send a video, resources, and reflective questions that explore the month's topic in depth.
Personalized content to support your self-awareness.
Throughout the year, you'll also benefit from the expertise of Marisol Jiménez, our guest facilitator and diversity, equity, and inclusion teacher/consultant who will be hosting special calls to deepen our understanding and commitment to these crucial aspects of our community.

I'd be fine without MotherWorthy. But that's just it - I'd be fine and wondering what was wrong with me. I still struggle with that residue of unworthiness, but I have new language I didn't know existed before, tools, and most importantly, a community where I try to push myself to be as raw and honest as possible, and each time I push past the fear of vulnerability, I'm amazed at what it opens.
I really adore Beth's facilitation style. She is not bossy, but instead guides with grace and a subtle, warm power. Her commitment to each and every member of her groups, as well as her deep commitment to supporting mothers and questioning the status quo around motherhood are undeniable, always loving and served our group so very well.
Her reflections on motherhood and womanhood have made such a big impact on me. Her warmth, compassion, and genuine care really touched me and helped give me courage to look more deeply at myself and my life.
She has a true gift of offering new tools, and helps sharpen old tools, to gently shift perspectives, and sort out tangled thoughts and feelings. MotherWorthy is also a sacred place where our dark and heavy loads can be witnessed and safely held with love.
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, knitting, gardening, or hiking a mountain with my partner and best friend, Jeremy.
If you, too, are on a growth and healing path and hunger for a richer, more aligned, and joyful life, please join us. You’re worthy of so much more than you’ve been conditioned to believe is possible.
I also want to say that I am not here to stand on a pedestal. I will share my personal experiences and stories alongside you. MotherWorthy is a place where we can all be real and raw, supporting each other on this transformative journey.
I created MotherWorthy nine 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 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 30 year-long groups and 13 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: cloth diapering, tandem nursing, homesteading, and pieced-together holistic education. Slowly but surely, I’ve traded idealism for trust and perfectionism for self-compassion. Motherhood has been a catalyst for emotional and spiritual growth in ways I never imagined, benefiting every member of my family, especially myself.
I also offer discounted “Equity Seats” for BIPOC women, rooted in a reparations framework. This is one way we at Revolution From Home contribute to Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and mixed-race mothers who are 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 your contribution to this experience.
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, with opportunities 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.
MotherWorthy is a space for mothers in the thick of it, of all ages, demographics, and stages along the journey of growth. I’m 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. Putting myself out there 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 I’m committed to creating a space that feels comfortable, too).
MotherWorthy exists to nurture the wholeness of women who happen to be mothers, and this requires spending time outside the mother role. For this reason, our in-person circle is a child-free space. If securing childcare is an issue for you, you may want to consider a virtual MotherWorthy group so that you can tend to your kids as needed.
It is essential to me that MotherWorthy be comprised of mothers who truly resonate with this work and deeply desire the MW experience. I recognize that many 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 handful of sliding scale seats in every circle. Click HERE to apply for a scholarship.
While I hope to one day be able to say that MotherWorthy circles are welcoming, safe spaces for BIPOC mothers, I still have much to learn as a white woman and a facilitator committed to becoming increasingly anti-racist in my life and work. I cannot ensure anyone’s sense of safety, but my devotion to this growth is deep and active, and I can assure you that it matters to me that you feel safe, and that I will do the best I can to create a safe-feeling space based on my current level of awareness and understanding.
MotherWorthy circles have historically been majority white. There are many reasons for this, which I am coming to better understand. At this stage in my growth, greater diversity within my circles is not yet my goal. First, I am expanding my awareness of the ways in which I “see white” (and inadvertently center white mothers’ experiences in my thinking and teaching), strengthening my racial literacy, and gradually decolonizing my curriculum. At this time, I feel equipped and eager to support white women who are ready to “do the work” of examining their (our) blindspots and implicit biases by exploring the ways we are oppressed within society, and the ways that we oppress, however unintentionally. I am meeting regularly with my racial equity coach/mentor, learning from other BIPOC women and mothers, and excited about where this growth will take me.
If you are a BIPOC mother and interested in joining a circle, please know that I would love to have you, that I am going to make mistakes (and will do my very best to learn and grow from them), and that I have no way of knowing where the other mothers who sign up are along their own racial literacy journeys.

If you’re a mother experiencing the midlife transition, focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities of this phase, especially for those with older children within a community, you are welcome here. You may also be interested in Wild + Wise - enrollment opens mid-September, 2024.
We will be gathering in a small, charming cottage on Herb Mountain Farm in the mountains 20 minutes north of Asheville (it’s a Weaverville address). HMF is a 140-acre plant sanctuary owned by dear friends of mine (my partner lives on the property too!) so I have special access to this incredible place. We’ve been given permission to use parts of the land on occasion for fire circles and ceremonies, so the possibilities are many and rich!
Life is full, and we understand that you may not be able to make it to every single circle, That being said, to ensure the integrity of the group and the felt sense of safety of the participants, we encourage you to come to at least two circles per month.
We provide a space for mothers with kids of all ages to connect, share, and grow together. MotherWorthy is an 11-month, in-person program that fosters deep, lasting connections. With a cap of 12 participants, you’ll get to know each other intimately, often forming bonds that last beyond the initial year. Our group attracts unconventional thinkers drawn to healing and personal growth, making for deep, meaningful conversations.
Join us in MotherWorthy and discover the support, understanding, and empowerment you deserve.
You are not just a mother—you are a woman with your own needs, dreams, and potential.
Let’s embrace that together.
We’ll spend nearly a year digging into the root of your struggles, offering deep healing work rather than prescriptive quick fixes.
