The Room Women Don’t Stop Talking About

The event made me feel seen and valued because the mums were very welcoming and kind.”

The Room Women Don’t Stop Talking About

Great evening, really well ran, lovely inspirational speaker, lovely food, great venue, the timings worked well and just the right amount of time in icebreaker rounds for it not to get awkward, I liked that the icebreaker questions were purely about our identity in not being a mum.

The Room Women Don’t Stop Talking About

Joing the Essential Woman event made me feel so happy, worthy and free. I enjoyed meeting the like minded friendly mums
