How and why I can help?

I’ve been working on developing curriculum and programs for the last 11 years, starting out when I began teaching at The University of Sydney and supporting the development and teaching of undergraduate units of study in sociology. I taught and facilitated classes face to face for 5 years before moving into the world of online course development and teaching!

Since working in the motherhood-support space online I’ve created at least 10 online courses, bespoke group training experiences for both organisations and mothers’ groups, have created and delivered 50+ original one off webinars and workshops to mothers, and have facilitated over 200 live group classes. I’ve run programs in many different formats including live, as a mix of live and evergreen (self-study), as evergreen video content only, audio-only trainings via private podcasts, and programs utilising worksheets and email prompts.

On top of my lived experience in creating, delivering and experimenting with online learning and development, I’ve also mentored many mother-supporting professionals in the development of their online businesses, coursework, online trainings and group trainings. I’ve honed a sense of what works for different audiences, different cohorts of mothers depending on their stage of matrescence, the benefits and drawbacks of different delivery modes, and how to sequence a learning journey that is comprehensive and yet succinct and effective in delivering the intended training outcomes.

I share all of this to give you a sense of my experience and to hopefully offer you some evidence that you can trust me as a guide and mentor in this space because I’ve lived and breathed this work for a long time. In saying that, I think perhaps the most important part of this work is being flexible and open to change. At the heart of what we’re doing in the development of material, programs, and courses for mothers, is creative, social-justice oriented, advocacy and educational work that meets mothers where they’re at, with an aim to make a difference in their lived experience. This means we need to be adaptive, flexible, and open-minded in how we design and deliver our work.

You’ll be able to read elsewhere on my website about my style of mentorship and my educational and theoretical background. I’ve created the world’s first and only online training certification in Motherhood Studies, and while I have experience and expertise in a wide range of motherhood-related subjects, my areas of specialty include: the perfect mother myth, the social construction of motherhood, maternal anger, maternal guilt, maternal identity and sense of self, the experiences of mothers of children with disabilities, the care/career conundrum and mothers’ relationships with career and paid work, maternal ambivalence, good enough mothering theory (Winnicott), intensive mothering ideology (Hays), and the possibilities of empowered mothering (Rich & O’Reilly).

FAQ

  • The timelines are there to support you in building momentum and meeting deadlines to have your course developed or reviewed completely within about a month. But I understand that ‘life happens’, so I’m happy to offer some flexibility within the package when it comes to the time-frames.

  • Your course curriculum draft, final version, or program outline should be no more than 1,500 words

  • I’ll do my very best to meet you where you need to be based on my analysis of your program outline. This may mean I provide in-text comments on every few sentences of your work, or I may provide more generalised comments on each paragraph.

  • Yes this is exactly what this package can help you with. You’ll receive an editable template to help you develop your program/training outline that I’ll then provide feedback on

  • No, you do need to come to the course development support package with a general idea in mind of what type of program you’d like to create and roughly who your target market is. This is your intellectual property and creative project, so while I’ll guide and support you, I won’t create and write the content for you.

  • I’m happy to do this as part of the video/audio upgrade option, yes. You just need to make sure that there isn’t anything in your course terms and conditions that would prevent you sharing the recordings with me for professional development purposes. Everything that I work with you on as part of the package remains confidential. I can watch your group recordings and provide feedback on both content and your teaching and facilitation style.

  • You’ll be sent through instructions about this when you sign up to a package. I can access your content either via secure file-sharing, or directly through your online learning platform if you have one.

  • You’ll be sent instructions on this when you sign up for a package. We use the free voice-messaging app Voxer, or if you’d prefer we can use an alternative such as Whatsapp

  • For these packages, I’m only working with people who have enroled in The Motherhood Studies Practitioner Certification, the 2 day Sociology of Motherhood Series, the Creators Course, were members of the Mastermind for Motherhood Visionaries, or who have completed business mentoring packages with me.
