VIRTUAL HANGOUTS ARE BACK!

Live Hangouts

Live virtual gatherings to tackle parenting challenges.

In 2025, we're shifting our conversations to live Ignition Calls & the asynchronous Group Chat to work around our members' conflicting schedules.

Autumn Hangout Dates

Catch your breath and connect with like-minded parents in our drop-in autumn hangouts. We’ll make space for you to vent, validate, and detangle whatever challenges you’re facing that day.

This isn’t a book club or a collective for action. No prep work, no homework – just space for yourself in these optional drop-in hangouts offering you a moment of peace.

We’ll meet on the 2nd and 4th week each month through autumn and spring for 45 minutes.

Because this is a drop-in event, if no one shows up in the first 15 minutes, I’ll end the meeting early.

Live Hangout FAQ

  •  
  • We’ll gather for 45 minutes, but end hangouts early if no one shows up in the first 15 minutes.
  •  
  •  
  • When you join a hangout, you’re consenting to our Terms of Use (TL;DR don’t be a jerk) and our  Member Agreements – the norms and guides we use to protect our well-being while building brave spaces together.
  •  
  • Our Member Agreements are short, but very different from the rules in typical ‘social justice‘ spaces –  so take a minute to brush up on them while you’re here.
  •  
  • Show up as you are – allowing yourself to be imperfect helps the rest of us feel safe sharing & showing up messy and imperfect too.
  •  

 

  •  
  • Our live hang-outs are drop-in and open for all members, regardless of whether you’ve attended previous hangouts.
  •  
  • Since these events don’t require pre-registration, if no one shows up for the first 15 minutes, I’ll end the meeting early.
  •  
  • But I’d love for you to pop in for a quick 5 minutes to say ‘hi’ if you’re too busy to stick around the whole time
  •  
  •  
  • Nope. Let’s show up and hang out without worrying about who’s going to see us stumble over our words
