About 

What Is a Pod?

​

A pod is a small, supportive group of moms who connect regularly for community, conversation, and encouragement. Think of it as your personal circle—a safe place where you can show up exactly as you are.

Pods can meet locally or virtually, depending on where you live and what you prefer. Each pod is matched based on your location, lifestyle, and comfort level, so you’re surrounded by moms who get your season of life.

​

In a Pod, you might:

  • Chat daily or weekly in a group chat

  • Join virtual check-ins or healing circles

  • Meet up for coffee, walks, or kid-friendly outings

  • Share stories, vent safely, or just laugh about the chaos

  • Support each other through holidays, milestones, and hard days

​

Why Pods Matter

Parenting wasn’t meant to be done alone. Pods give you:

  • A village

  • Emotional support

  • Real friendships

  • Connection during lonely seasons

  • A sense of belonging

​

Every pod is built on compassion, privacy, and genuine care—no pressure, no judgment.

​

​

Your Pod Is Your People

​

When you join The Mommy Pod, our goal is for you to be matched with a group that feels like home: moms who understand you, encourage you, and walk alongside you.

Whether you want deeper friendships or simply don’t want to spend the holidays alone, your pod is here to hold space for you.

FAQS

About The Mommy Pod

​

Parenting is beautiful—but it can also feel overwhelmingly lonely, especially when you’re balancing work, co-parenting, healing, and trying to hold your family together. So many of us are surrounded by people yet still feel like we’re navigating everything on our own.

The Mommy Pod was created to change that.

Founded by Shanta’ Robinson, a mom, educator, creator, and advocate for community care, The Mommy Pod is a safe space for moms who want connection, support, and sisterhood—even when life feels heavy, busy, or uncertain.

Whether you’re:

  • Sharing custody and facing quiet weekends

  • A single mom rebuilding your life

  • A tired, overwhelmed mom craving adult conversation

  • A partnered mom who just needs other mom friends

  • Or simply searching for community…

You belong here.

The Mommy Pod matches moms with local pods or virtual pods based on location, schedule, and preferred level of connection. Every pod is a supportive circle where moms can talk, vent, laugh, meet up, or simply know they’re not alone.

Our mission is simple:
No mom should ever feel alone—especially during the holidays, transitions, or the hard seasons of life.

Inside The Mommy Pod, you’ll find:

  • Local and virtual meetups

  • Group chats

  • Safe conversations

  • Holiday support circles

  • Real friendships

  • Zero judgment

  • And a community built on compassion, honesty, and connection

This isn’t a club—it’s a lifeline, a village, and a place to breathe again.

Frequently Asked Questions — The Mommy Pod

 

What is The Mommy Pod?

The Mommy Pod is a community of moms—single, co-parenting, partnered, or simply overwhelmed—who want connection, support, and friendship. We match moms into local and virtual “pods” so no one has to navigate motherhood alone, especially during the holidays.

How does joining a pod work?

Once you sign up, we sort moms based on location and preferred connection style. You’ll be invited to join a pod of moms in your area or a virtual pod you can connect with from anywhere. From there, you’ll get updates on meetups, check-ins, and community events.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining The Mommy Pod community is completely free. This is a space built to support moms, not add to financial pressure.

Is this only for single moms?

No! While many moms join because they’re navigating co-parenting, holidays alone, or wanting real community, all moms are welcome—married, partnered, single, sharing custody, or simply wanting more connection.

I’m introverted. Will this still work for me?

Absolutely. Pods move at your pace. You can:

  • Join group chats quietly

  • Attend virtual meetups

  • Participate when you’re ready

No pressure, no judgment.

What happens after I sign up?

You’ll receive a welcome email, then within a few days you’ll be matched with:

  • A local pod (if available in your city), or

  • A virtual pod that meets online if that is what you prefer 

You’ll also start receiving updates about Mommy Pod events, meetups, and holiday support circles.

Can I join if I’m not a mom yet but planning to be or expecting?

Yes. Expecting moms and future moms are welcome to join to build community early and feel supported during transition.

How are pods organized?

Pods are grouped by:

  • City or region

  • Virtual preference

  • Similar schedules or needs (optional)

Each pod has a group chat and monthly connection opportunities.

How often do pods meet?

Pods meet as often as they decide—some weekly, some monthly, some simply chat in the group. All meetups are optional.

Can I start a pod in my city?

Yes! If there’s no pod in your area, you can apply to be a Pod Host. You’ll get structure, prompts, and support from The Mommy Pod team to build a safe space for local moms.

Is my information private?

Yes. Your contact information is only used to connect you with your pod and send updates. We do not sell, share, or publish your details.

What if I decide later I don’t want to be in a pod?

You can leave anytime—just reply to one of the emails and we’ll remove you. No hard feelings.
