What Is Mother To Mother?

Mother To Mother is a short film project providing an intimate perspective of motherhood from six mother figures each representing their own diverse journeys of the motherhood experience.

We seek to capture authentic stories, experiences, and truths that we hope will unpack myths and milestones on the motherhood journey through deep dialogue and reflection. We hope you gain a new perspective, have a laugh, and be open to learning a little more as we connect mother to mother.

“Motherhood is a permanent change and at times you can feel stuck. We have to separate who we were from whom we are becoming and learn to embrace who we are now.”
