The Mom Connection · A community experience by The Next Step Studio
Because motherhood shouldn't mean doing it all alone.
You can love being a mom and still miss having people who check in on you. People to laugh with, talk things through with, and make plans with that actually make it out of the group chat.
The Mom Connection brings local moms together for monthly meetups across Suffolk and Norfolk County’s in Massachusetts. Come as you are. You don't need to know anyone to belong here!
A little time together can mean a lot.
We're making room for friendship, real conversations, and the kind of support that helps motherhood feel a little less lonely.
A familiar face
Meet moms nearby and build friendships you can keep growing between gatherings. Coming on your own? You're welcome here.
Room to be yourself
Share what's on your mind, listen, laugh, or ease into the conversation at your own pace. No pressure to have it all together.
Something to look forward to
Simple, welcoming gatherings in our local community. Each event will explain whether children are welcome and what to expect at the venue.

Meet your host
Hi, I'm Kate—a mom who needs connection, too.
I'm Kate Daher, founder of The Next Step Studio and a mom of two boys. I know how easy it is for your own friendships and needs to slip to the bottom of the list while you're taking care of everyone else.
I created mom events to make getting together feel a little easier. A welcoming place to find your people, have a real conversation, and leave feeling more supported than when you arrived.
At The Next Step Studio, I also help people navigate career changes and job searches while making room for life, motherhood, and well-being. If that support would be useful in your season, you're welcome to explore whenever you're ready.
