Rip, Tear & Release

A hands on collage experience centered on ripping, tearing, layering, and letting go. No theme. No rules. No pressure to make it look good.

Light guidance is offered, but your art leads the way. No experience is needed, and nothing is shared unless you choose to.

This is not art therapy. It is a creative collage space where expression happens naturally through making.

Motherhood can feel overwhelming, leaving many moms questioning themselves and their worth. In “Are You a Bad Mom or Just Dysregulated?”, Certified Therapeutic Art Practitioner and former dysregulated mother Shawano helps moms understand why we sometimes make the choices we regret—revealing how those moments often come from nervous system dysregulation, not personal failure.

This empowering talk breaks down the science behind those “undesirable” reactions and offers real, actionable strategies to restore emotional balance, strengthen self-awareness, and repair connection with your children. Through practical tools and compassionate insight, mothers will learn how to respond with presence instead of reactivity—creating trust, safety, and deeper bonds.

By reframing “bad mom” moments as signals rather than shame, this talk transforms guilt into understanding and growth—helping mothers build stronger, more connected relationships that last a lifetime.
