IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR PINK BACK AND SPREAD YOUR WINGS
The space for moms who are done just surviving and ready to thrive.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
Just as flamingos lose their vibrant pink hue while nurturing their young, mothers often find themselves giving so much of their energy and identity to their children.
But like the flamingo, mothers too can regain their 'color' rediscovering their passions, identities, and vibrancy as their children grow and become more independent.
This is the purpose of MAMINGO - to guide moms from burnout and identity crisis to themselves, so they can live a life feeling content, confident and joyful again.

Never before have moms been so overwhelmed and stretched—challenged not only physically but also emotionally and mentally.
We don’t have the skills to deeply nourish our bodies and souls; we’re stuck in the superficial “I’m fine” mode.
We haven’t recovered from the intense early stage of motherhood, yet we’re immediately met with all the expectations society throws at moms. It doesn’t matter how old your kids are—you probably know exactly what I mean.
We’ve lost the village. Many of us live far from our extended families, or we don’t align with their parenting approaches—so we don’t ask for help. Because we don’t trust. Or because we’re afraid to appear vulnerable or needy. And we choose to do everything by ourselves. Till we break down.
We carry a mental load no one ever prepared us for. Information comes at us from all directions, and social media—along with our own internalized expectations—sets unrealistic standards.
Under all this pressure, instead of feeling expansion and empowerment, we shrink. We lose connection with ourselves and stay stuck like this for years, believing that this is just how motherhood is—where even a proper exhale feels out of reach because tension has become our default mode.
But what if I told you that motherhood was never meant to feel so lonely? It’s a personal, intimate journey—but that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone or figure everything out by yourself while feeling “not good enough.”
We’ve created life. A human being grew inside us and came through our bodies to be here—to live a life and fulfill their potential. But what about us?
I believe we don’t truly know—or rather, we don’t recognize—our own strength. And it’s time to change that. It’s time to access your power, feel at peace with yourself, and experience motherhood on your own terms.

How it feels
- “I've been attending this mom’s retreat trip for over a year, and it’s truly been a transformative experience. Each session is thoughtfully designed to nourish the mind, body, and emotions. Kate, our amazing coach, creates a consistently positive, safe, and beautiful environment that allows us to open up and recharge. The topics we explore are always varied and deeply engaging, offering a meaningful outlet and connection with other moms. I always leave feeling renewed and supported.”
- “My time with Kate is always meaningful and intentional. Because she is a mother herself and is so aware of different directions we can be pulled, she is so effective at creating a warm space for self-care. She is very in tune with her own body and emotions, and gently guides and nudges me to these same realizations. I always feel more like myself when I leave a session with her.”
- 'Kate's retreat for mothers is heartfelt and authentic. Her depth of knowledge and experience is evident and her thoughtful approach fosters connection and self-reflection, making every participant feel valued and understood.
It’s clear that Kate pours her heart into crafting these retreats, and the moments and messages we shared are a testament to her spirit and commitment to creating meaningful experiences for mothers. Thank you, Kate!' - I like being around women and having deep meaningful conversations through interesting guided activities.
Time with Kate is the time when I truly slow down and connect with myself
These afternoon retreats are for those moms who crave deep conversation, are interested in self growth, who want to expand their social circle and meet moms who want more depth, honesty and meaning in their experience. - This retreat was a much-needed pause that helped me reconnect with myself. I enjoyed a mix of gentle movement, emotional reflection, and supportive connection with other women.
It reminded me to focus on what truly matters and gave me the clarity and calm I had been missing. I’d recommend it to any woman needing time to reset, reflect, and recharge.
Thank you, Kate, for creating such a warm, thoughtful space. - Attending Kate's More than moms afternoon retreats has been the best act of self-care I've given myself over the past year.
It's the most freeing and grounding activity I do on a monthly basis. Kate's energy is so welcoming, friendly, but also professional. She takes us on a journey every time - through the topic of the month discussion, through a physical practice, through an expression of self through art - all happening amidst a beautiful room setup with comfy blankets and pillows, flowers, essential oils, inspiration materials. Every time I leave the retreat room I feel lighter yet more grounded.
Kate Sharapenko
Founder & Life Coach
I’m a professional ICF Life Coach and I work with MOMS ONLY. Yes, you heard me right - moms only. After becoming a mom I cannot stop admiring women who chose this brutiful (brutal+beautiful) experience of being a reliable person for someone else no matter what.
There has been nothing more expansive, challenging and transformative for me than motherhood. It’s where my personal evolution started.
I know what postpartum depression is as well as mom’s burnout, overwhelm, identity loss and other personal crises. Because I’ve been through all of them.
It’s my superpower to guide moms through these processes to themselves, so they feel connected to themselves, let’s say ‘feel like themselves’ and evolve from there in any direction they want. Because WE WANT MORE.
