Creating a Mom Community in Safe, Supportive Spaces, Together
Ever wished you could sit down with a few parenting and mental health experts in a casual setting and just… talk? That’s exactly what our Fireside Chats offer! These relaxed, evening gatherings bring parents and mental health professionals together for honest conversations about the stuff that matters.
The Friendly Faces at Our Fire
Each Fireside Chat features a rotating panel of professionals from The Den’s trusted advisors. You’ll always find a mix of perspectives and expertise relevant to the evening’s topic.
What We Talk About
Our conversations change with each gathering, flowing from the questions and concerns that matter most to our community right now. Some recent and upcoming topics include:
- “Help! Parenthood Changed Our Relationship”
- “Taming the Worry Monster: Managing Anxiety (Yours and Theirs)”
- “Setting Boundaries Without the Guilt”
- “Keeping Your Relationship Spark Alive With Kids in the Mix”

What Parents Are Saying
“This wasn’t what I expected—it was better! Less like a workshop and more like those deep conversations you have with friends who really get it. I left feeling lighter and with some new ideas to try.”
— A Fireside Chat Participant
“As a parent who’s read ALL the books, I was surprised by how much I gained from just listening to others share their experiences alongside the therapists’ insights. It was refreshing to have no ‘right answers’ pushed on us.”
