148: Mothering Yourself, Creating Aligned Community, and New Narratives with Amri Kibbler

Rewrite the Mother Code with Dr. Gertrude Lyons

In this episode, I speak with Amri Kibbler, the co-founder and Chief Community Officer of Hello Mamas and HeyMama, about cancer’s lessons, the value of motherhood, and crafting new mothering narratives.

Amri’s community, Hello Mamas, has impacted over 400 million moms worldwide. She shares her career journey from content creator to community organizer. Her cancer diagnosis was the first time she really explored self-care and self-exploration, an experience she calls both the best and worst thing to ever happen to her. This eventually led her to found HeyMama, an organization centered around mental and physical self-care for moms.

We then discuss how, in our culture of isolation, it’s more important than ever that women and mothers don’t settle for unfulfilling company but find groups that are truly replenishing and satisfying. Prioritizing meaningful relationships is a beautiful thing to experience and model for our children. Amri leaves us with her wisdom about creating value-aligned communities and mothering oneself.
