Founded in 2004 by Elayna Fernandez, The Positive MOM® is a safe, supportive, soulful global platform committed to providing moms with a safe community, inspirational content, and transformational coaching.
The Positive MOM provides a space where moms of all ages and stages, everywhere, gather to share and seek support, as they serve in their role of motherhood and pursue their entrepreneurial and leadership projects.
As leaders in their homes, workplaces, and communities, they learn to turn their painful stories into profitable streams of income and significant impact.
Our Mission
The Positive MOM’s mission is to help moms find peace, break cycles, and feel whole.
Our Purpose:
The Positive MOM uses the power of storytelling and story-listening strategies, so we can prevent, buffer, and heal from adverse childhood experiences.
Our Vision
We aim to become the number one community for moms worldwide, and we strive to create a safe place where they feel welcome and worthy and they learn to be positive moms.
Our Goals:
To educate, inspire, and equip moms so they can:
- transcend the blocks, barriers, and boundaries imposed on them by trauma cycles.
- expand their competence and confidence to effectively serve in her role as a mom.
- harness their creative gifts to make a meaningful impact in the world.
Our Principles:
We believe that motherhood is a high calling and that a mom’s influence is immeasurable.
We believe that we are worthy, divine, limitless beings, and life is our classroom.
We believe in a Higher Power that is a loving, fair, generous God, who endowed us with valuable innate gifts.
We believe in the power of community. As we practice storytelling and story-listening, we gain new perspectives, experience healing, and foster connection.
We believe we can each become a Positive Mom:
Present:
We believe that a mom can be present to their child only to the extent that she is present with herself.
Peaceful:
We believe that a mom must make peace with herself, and let go of guilt, shame, and regrets, so she can foster a peaceful home environment.
Playful:
We believe that a mom must access the healing power of play and make fun a basic part of every day, both in her home and her work.
On Purpose:
We believe that a mom’s voice can impact the world when she pursues entrepreneurship and leadership.
Our Core Values:
Our core values guide our every choice and move. We practice love, inclusion, support, respect, partnership, vulnerability, and learning, as we pursue our mission individually and collectively.
Love
Love is the healing force and the essence of every being and element on our planet. Love is patient, love is kind. Love rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Inclusion & Belonging
Everyone is unique, valuable, and deserves a place. They belong, and they are accepted and invited to fully participate, contribute, and share their perspectives. They are experts in their own cultures, traditions, social norms, and experiences.
Safety and Support
We know that safe, supportive, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments are key to an individual’s wellness and development. When we care about each others’ success, we all win.
Respect
Every individual has equal value and deserves to be treated with respect, fairness, and dignity in every interaction. Everyone’s voice matters.
Partnership
We foster cooperation, collaboration, and collective decision-making. We are committed to building and nurturing purposeful and aligned partnerships, grounded in shared values and visions.
Vulnerability
Our conversations are authentic, and courageous, and bring awareness, hope, and healing to the struggles of motherhood and mom entrepreneurship.
Learning
We are willing to become curious students who seek knowledge, wisdom, and growth. We are committed to increasing our awareness, so we question, examine, observe, inquire, and search. We are open to new solutions, answers, and perspectives and we delight in the gift of feedback.
Statement of Contribution:
We believe in tithing our time, talent, treasure, ties, and testimonies, to create sustainable social and environmental change.
Elayna created the Positive MOM community based on this principle as a way to pay her blessings forward.
