About the Host: Hi, I’m Josie Anderson—In 2023, I hit a breaking point. Burnt out from work, drowning in daily expectations, and overwhelmed by the mental load of motherhood, I found myself asking: “Is this really how life is supposed to feel?” That moment became my wake-up call. Since then, I’ve been on a mission—alongside the inspiring speakers and sponsors of this event—to support moms who feel stuck, unseen, and stretched too thin. You are not alone. This space was created for you. This event is a celebration, yes—but it’s also a safe, soulful space to talk about the real journey of motherhood. To be vulnerable. To be heard. And to rediscover the joy, clarity, and fulfillment you deeply deserve. There’s a life beyond burnout—one full of alignment, self-love, and freedom you can’t yet imagine. My prayer is that this event plants a seed of hope and reminds you of how powerful and worthy you already are. I can’t wait to welcome you in. https://thedivineselfbyjosieanderson.com/
