Huddle Up Moms’ Annual Women’s Resource Summit is back for its fourth year in 2023

The load of motherhood is often invisible. Planning birthdays, buying groceries, juggling schedules, making appointments... For moms, our brains and bodies rarely stop. What is the Invisible Load of Motherhood? It's been described as the unnoticed and uncompensated physical, mental, and  emotional labor completed behind the scenes to keep our households happy, healthy, and running smoothly. This year, Huddle Up Moms is holding a mirror up to make these invisible struggles visible and build up a community around mothers.

Huddle Up Moms’ Annual Women’s Resource Summit is back for its fourth year in 2023. The Summit, happening on Saturday June 10th, is returning to the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Fralin Biomedical Research Institute in downtown Roanoke. Doors open at 9am with sessions beginning at 10am through 3pm. The Summit is free but registration is requested by visiting 

This year’s theme, The inVisible Load of Motherhood encourages mothers to hold up the joys and challenges of motherhood - many of which go unseen. The day features two speaker sessions, lead by Jennifer Huffman and Lee Hunsaker, founder of Hoot & Holler storytelling. The day also brings together numerous maternal wellness experts, healthcare and holistic care providers, small-business owners, and more. Moms will enjoy delicious breakfast items from Chris’ Coffee and Custard, complimentary lunch, free on-site childcare, dedicated lactation space for nursing mothers from BREAST Roanoke, and the chance to win numerous door prizes from local and national businesses.

Moms will also have the opportunity to meet other mothers in the community and create new friendships around shared experiences. There is no cost to attend, however registration is requested by visiting . Sponsorships are still available.

Huddle Up Moms fuels meaningful connections within the community, believing that all mothers deserve to flourish in all aspects of their lives. Huddle Up Moms believes in empowering women to prioritize their well-being and in connecting mothers to resources they need to be happy, healthy, and confident.
