In France too, communities are moving 🔥
To my knowledge, this type of initiative does not exist in France. However, we can pick from certain content and certain communities that are very supportive of moms:
- We are obviously quoting the famous Clémentine Galet, founder of Bliss Stories, the podcast focused on Postpartum. Clémentine also tries to support working moms with her episodes “Bliss at work” as well as events organized on the subject in partnership with businesses.
- The network Mam'preneurs Who organize regional aperitifs every month, so that entrepreneurial moms or project leaders can support each other!

The “Productivity Shame”, this pressure of our modern world 😬
Productivity Shame” is an English term that can be translated literally as “Shame on Productivity”. It's a feeling that many people feel in today's performance-based and productivity-focused society.
With the rise of social networks and information that circulates at breakneck speed, There is growing pressure to be consistently productive and show off your accomplishments. If someone doesn't feel as productive as their peers or can't show tangible results from their work, they may feel pressure. Today, we call it the “Productivity Shame.”
This pressure can lead to professional burnout, to the neglect of mental and physical health, and to a decrease in the quality of life. The people can overwork themselves to avoid these feelings, which can have negative consequences for their overall well-being.
Fortunately, we have a few ways to fight it ardently!
Tips for congratulating yourself on a super mom day 💖
Danielle Melton, the founder of the Motherboard Society, shares some tips to help us to feel more fulfilled and less exhausted at the end of the day. We have selected his best tips for you:
1. Breathe consciously: Start your day off on the right foot. Take a moment to breathe deeply and refocus. It's like a little hug for your spirit.
2. Create an “I did it” list: Instead of focusing on what's left to do, celebrate what you've already achieved. It's like a quick pat on the back for all the great things you've done.
3. Adopt the “Task Postponement Method”: If you can't do it all in one day, that's OK! Postpone or delegate tasks for the next day. It's like giving your to-do list a second chance.
4. Practice self-compassion: Be gentle with yourself. Talk to yourself as you would to a friend. It's like giving yourself a little bit of self-love.
5. Plan the day in advance: Get ready the night before for the next day. It's like being a step ahead of the day ahead.
At the end of the day, it's not about being perfect, it's about making progress and defining what really matters to us. So dear moms, let's celebrate each achievement and create realistic practices to counter this overwhelming pressure. And remember, every small victory counts!
