Motherhood is a life-changing experience and can be isolating, even if you have a well-established group of well-meaning childless friends or family members who gave birth—but light years ago.
Where do you find like-minded mamas who are going through the same challenges and triumphs you are? Whether it be trying to get your child to eat, locating local mums and bubs meet ups or fitness classes or to how to cope when you’re sleep deprived, the Social Mama app provides a safe, all-inclusive place. A hub for all things parenting!
Before giving birth to her first child, entrepreneurial mum, Elisha Fiorentino sought the support of other mums just like her. However, the resources on the Gold Coast was lacking, so she started a community called Social Mama to see if there were other mamas out there seeking the same connection through a lifestyle app. Thus, the Social Mama app was born, launched on 18 November 2022 and already has over 5,000 members and growing daily. Not only does it create a much-needed platform to connect you with new mamas, it allows you to attend both local meet-ups and virtual events such as exercise classes, information sessions, playgroups and baby first aid courses.
Some of the features of the app include:
- Locate events near you
- Register events
- Invite your friends
- Shopping
- Discounts
- A platform for ambassadors to connect with relevant audiences
- Create profiles so you can connect with other mums in business or like-minded mothers.
Motherhood can feel like an alien experience the first time around, the Social Mama Community programs and meet-ups are tailored to support new mums from birth up to 12 months, postpartum, but of course all mums are welcome.
