The Parenthood Cohort:

A Community & Resource for Every Parent

In the realm of parenting, challenges are as common as bedtime stories. Every parent has faced self-doubt, wondering if they're doing it right. Shae Hicks, the founder of the Parenthood Cohort, was no exception. She questioned her parenting skills more than usual during a particularly tough year raising her children. However, Shae possessed a valuable skill—she was the Queen of knowing next to nothing and diving headfirst into a labyrinth of information until she figured it out.

 

A Beacon of Support in Parenthood:

During this time, Shae discovered something — she was not alone! She found that the knowledge she had obtained was helpful to countless other parents she connected with. With this realization, she embarked on a  journey to create a resource and community dedicated to parents—The Parenthood Cohort.

 

The Name that Reflects Our Common Bond:

Choosing the right name for this community took a lot of work. Shae selected "Parenthood" because it represents the state, position, or identity shared by all who take on the role of a parent. And "Cohort" was chosen for its definition—a group of individuals who share an identity. In this case, the characteristic that binds us all is the experience of parenting another human being.

 

A Diverse Tapestry of Parenthood:

The Parenthood Cohort is more than a community; it's a diverse tapestry of people from varied backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. What unites us is the universal journey of parenthood, with all its ups, downs, and in-betweens.

 

Conclusion:

The Parenthood Cohort represents the strength a group of people can have when they care so deeply about the same thing. It's a place where knowledge is shared, experiences are celebrated, and support is boundless. Shae Hicks' vision has created a community and a lifeline for parents navigating parenthood's chaotic and rewarding journey.

A Note from Shae:

There are a million places to find "advice" on what to feed your kid, how much screen time they should have, when they should go to bed, what type of school they should attend, and on and on and on. I want this to be where you can come to when you can't decide what to do, need to hear what other parents have had success with, or know that you are not alone (you aren't, I promise). Your knowledge and story are powerful and helpful, and if we all join together - we can figure this out!
