When I was pregnant for the first time, why didn’t anyone divulge the real deal to me about actually giving birth? I took those courses and read every pamphlet offered through the hospital, but I still wasn’t prepared for what actually happened before, during, and after delivery. Bringing baby home was like a shock to my entire system. Why didn’t anyone tell me the whole truth about what to really expect?

I felt like I was misinformed. I felt like there was a secret code among mothers that wasn’t offered or shared. Even the tons of books I read about pregnancy and “what to expect” that first year didn’t spell-it-out-for me.

I feel the same way about motherhood. Why didn’t anyone tell me the real deal about motherhood? Although I love my children more than anything in the world, the reality of this “role” was never clearly defined for me.

So, I’ve decided to break the secret code, or at least maybe the silence.

I began this website as an opportunity to share my experiences as a mother. One of my hopes in developing this blog is to begin the line of communication and form a sense of community among Theta Moms everywhere. Another hope is that you, a fellow Theta Mom, are inspired by this mission and engage in the challenge of revolutionizing the way we think about our role as mothers. I created this website to use as a platform to begin the dialogue…

What makes you a Theta Mom?

Our own mothers and grandmothers didn’t live in a time when issues and topics, especially regarding motherhood, were easily discussed. They also didn’t have many choices. Today, women have so many opportunities, including the power to be heard. So, start talking! We need to get real about motherhood and speak authentically because that is the real essence of a Theta Mom. Here are some things to consider:

What surprised you about motherhood? What didn’t you expect? What do you wish someone would have told you about motherhood or pregnancy? What would you share with a mommy-to-be right now? If you could write a book, what aspect of motherhood would you focus on? Why? What does it mean (to you) to be truly authentic? What have you discovered about yourself as a mother? What has changed in your life since motherhood? What hasn’t changed? What stages of motherhood have been the most difficult? Why? What aspects of motherhood have been the most special and/or rewarding? What do you want out of motherhood? What are your own hopes and fears about motherhood?

My name is Heather and I’ve been married for seven years. I also have two beautiful children. I was a public elementary school teacher for ten years before I made the decision to work-at-home with my children. Since then, I have used my graduate degree from Columbia University to teach online. This has enabled me to contribute financially to the running of our family and home, but the rewards have been far greater than monetary value. Making the transition from working full-time to working-at-home has been revolutionary for me because it was the time that Theta Mom was born.

You see, I have always defined myself as an Alpha mom, the mom who always had it together, the mom who had her kids dressed perfectly while searching endlessly for the best pre-school in the neighborhood. I have been known as the Type A mom who made a checklist for the checklist and never forgot to respond to an e-mail or make cupcakes for school.

But, I soon realized I was also a Beta mom. I had those mornings when I went out with a coffee stained t-shirt and ended up late to a birthday party. I still have my moments when I don’t want to make another play date because I want my kids to just play, spontaneously, without it being planned. What ever happened to the idea of simply running outside to hop on your Big Wheel and just be a kid?

The point is, I am not alone. As moms, we are all in this together and deep down there is part Alpha and part Beta in all of us. So then, if we are part Alpha and part Beta, then what are we?

We are Theta Moms, The True, Authentic Moms. [The-T-A] We are authentic because we live authentic lives. Life isn’t perfect and neither are our kids.

I invite you to join forces with me to revolutionize the way we think about our role as mothers. We need to begin the dialogue about what it truly means to be an authentic mom. Nobody said that motherhood would be easy! Share your stories, your experiences, your life, your voice. It’s about time that we engage in this conversation.

We are redefining the role of motherhood…one mom at a time.
