Motherhood is a love that transforms.
Our Mission
The Mama Sagas is on a mission to change the narrative of motherhood from one of sacrifice to one of opportunity.
When you enter motherhood, you enter a band of heroes. Most of us don’t feel like Supermom – this gig tests the depth of our strength and resilience daily.
But if we meet the challenge, we realize motherhood is an opportunity: the chance to illuminate our true path, to realize our potential, to advocate for what we need, and to define our identity on our own terms.
Through first-person stories of triumph and transformation, and with tips for living a rich and fulfilling life with kids, The Mama Sagas celebrates what’s possible when we embrace every experience on our motherhood journey — good, bad, and everything in between.

Identity is More Than Genes: A Mama Saga by Breegan Jane
I’ve always known who I was; I just didn’t always know the role genetics would play in it all. To say the concept of identity has been a layered one for me would be a huge understatement, but not in the way you probably believe. You see, I’m adopted. I’m also...
Trisomy 21: Finding Magic in the Unknown

Raising the Revolution
Generally speaking, I pride myself on the fact that I purpose to raise "well-balanced" children. Exposing them to art, science, music, language and cultures from around the world has been especially high on my priority list. I find myself daydreaming about my...
Running Post-Baby
From the moment I held my little girl, Emma, I dove headfirst into motherhood. To say I love being a mom is an understatement and I can confidently say I am pretty darn good at it. That’s not to say it isn’t challenging. It is without a doubt the most challenging...
Being a Single Mom is Not as Terrifying or Lonely as People Think
Motherhood has profoundly changed my life's course. My three kids are my enlightenment. I am constantly learning lessons from them: how to be aware in the present moment, how to be an example of responsibility and fun, how to guide them to be their truest...
Living More Purposefully Through Motherhood
What has motherhood taught me? I can manifest my dreams! I am incredibly strong. I have so much fun with my son. My inner-child has really come out. I’ve learned to receive help easier. I was always the giver. I know exactly what I want for us. I have never...
Beyond Gender: On Choices and Intersex Conditions
When I gave birth, we were unable to determine our new baby’s sex. We were living in a foreign country. My partner was working toward his PhD and I was assistant managing a restaurant instead of pursuing the teaching career for which I had undergone an MA. When our...
