Why Every Mother Requires A Support System

Cloudhoods, the UAE’s parenting app, highlights the importance of a support system for mothers by sharing experience and guidance through the app’s wellness experts and contributors. As one of the most beautiful phases some women go through in their lives, motherhood is not an easy feat, and there is a crucial need for a balanced approach. It’s a privilege to be a parent and raise a well-balanced family; and women need to be supported mentally, physically and emotionally. With this in mind,  Cloudhoods offers an interactive platform for women to get the support they need.

Accept and ask for help

Life and business strategist, professional coach, and Cloudhoods wellness contributor, lionela Toridean urges mothers to believe that they are simply “enough”. She addresses women by asking three essential questions: How many times this month did you allow yourself permission to take a break? And if you did, did you do it without feeling guilty? With you being everything for everyone in your life, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could be everything for yourself? The app helps women navigate their motherhood journey in a judgment-free space, allowing them to share their experience with local experts or seek advice from other moms going through a similar phase.

Seek professional advice

“The key is having the wisdom, self-awareness, sense of values, and relationship with your child to know when you can bend and when you need to hold the line,” adds Cloudhoods contributor and mental health counsellor, Chasity O Connell.

Cloudhoods offers direct access to experts across various fields from fitness, psychology to business, and more. This allows any member to receive guidance whether it is on home-schooling, sickness, isolation, post-partum or any other topic providing the necessary emotional and mental support. Cloudhoods experts thrive in making positive changes in the lives of the community.

Mompreneurs: Get your business noticed

Cloudhoods encourages small business owners to share their entrepreneurial journeys with the community to help grow the brands and generate exposure. With a mission to aid start-ups especially those founded by mothers, the app provides several tips and advice around technical know-how and necessary marketing tools.

Create a community

Having a community of fellow mothers around you, who are experiencing or have gone through similar stages, creates an opportunity to form friendships, find support, celebrate those exhilarating moments of parenthood, and sail through those stressful ones – together. In UAE alone, Cloudhoods has a network of 10,000 superwomen, that can connect based on their interests, kid’s age, and neighbourhoods. Whether it is to organise a playdate, grab a coffee or privately discuss an issue that’s bothering you, Cloudhoods moms are an incredible support system.

Cloudhoods’ app reach currently spans the UAE, Lebanon and Egypt with plans to expand further in the coming months.
