You don't need to risk showing up and feeling out of place at The Rooted in Motherhood Retreat. In partnership with Jenn Perrault of Haute off the Rack, we created this event with mothers in mind. We know all too well the challenges we face when it comes to the landscape of motherhood. When it comes to motherhood, how do you quantify how to be the best mother for your kids? While every mom I know is living a joy filled life, they are also tired, and close to facing burn-out. We decided there needs to be a space for mothers to feel a little lighter. We’ve curated a speaker lineup, with ample time set aside for rest and restoration that mothers so rarely enjoy. The day will be filled with trusted voices inside meaningful conversations. We will gather at the Southern Hotel in Covington, Louisiana as we learn about impactful family communication, marriage and children dynamics, battling against burnout, harnessing your identity in motherhood + so much more.
The journey through motherhood will always be uphill, but it helps when you have a friend to climb with.

Jenn and Logan decided to come together to plan this event after talking shop and sharing stories on motherhood. When they're not running their respective businesses, you'll find them running after their boys - between the two of them, there are five wild boys under six years old. Between Jenn's decade of experience in digital creation and fostering community, and Logan's experience in hosting and teaching workshops on business education, there will be wealth of knowledge offered to the attendees. We believe there is nothing more impactful than sharing a space with other women who've walked the same journey, and we are so excited to create that space for each of you! We can't wait to see you at the Rooted in Motherhood Retreat!
