We’re the team behind the mom.
You’re smart. You’re capable.
And you’re not meant to do motherhood alone.
We built Mysha to be the community you’ve been craving—intimate, intelligent, and designed to actually shift your day.
It started in the dark, at 2 a.m., with one hand on her growing belly and a phone in the other.
Marika Frumes was the first of her friends to become pregnant—and no one told her how disorienting that would feel.
As a seasoned community builder, super-connector and small talk skeptic, she knew how to curate connection for others. But in motherhood? She was flying solo, searching for more than algorithm-fed advice or influencer how-tos. She wanted depth. She yearned for connection and solidarity. She wanted someone to say, “I get it. Me too!”
So she created it.

Importance of Community for Mothers with Mysha’s Marika Frumes
Marika dives into the shifting identity of motherhood, from feeling solo in the “first-mom” role, to building a real community of peers. She unpacks imposter syndrome, the value of real connection over surface-support, and how Mysha came to life from a WhatsApp group to a full membership network.
“As a new mom, there are tons of questions and unknowns. It’s comforting to have other moms I can trust share their experience and guide me through the more challenging moments!”
Elena, brooklyn, ny
“Joining Mysha has given me an incredible sense of community, especially through the Upper West Side pod. I’ve connected with moms who live nearby, making it easy to meet up for weekly walks, share neighborhood tips, and support each other through the ups and downs of motherhood. It’s been amazing to watch our children get to know one another and build their own friendships, all while creating a network of moms who truly understand this stage of life.”
cynthia, new york, NY
“The fact that Mysha draws a high-calibar and like-valued member makes me trust and respect the advice from the moms in my pod. They are women whose opinion I value because many of them are balanced (for lack of better word) in the sense that they are often business owners, entrepreneurs, Burning Man attendees, interested in medicinal mushrooms, etc., while being invested in being good parents. I feel like that’s so hard to find in a mom friend group.”
cali, winter park, fl
“It’s a place where I can actually trust the advice (on all sorts of different topics), because the quality and thoughtfulness from the team and other members is so high. Even though it’s grown so much it still feels personal and like a small group. I typically kind of hate joining groups in general, but Mysha has been an amazing resource for me and I’m so glad I joined.”
Natalie, Carlsbad, CA
“I love how well connected and "in the know" Mysha moms are. No matter how random or hyper specific a question or ask is, a Mysha member usually has an answer, advice, connection, referral, etc.”
lindsey, St. Louis, MO
“The Mysha community has single-handedly been the most important and supportive part of my postpartum life.”
Alexandra, New York, NY
What began as a WhatsApp group of 18 women has grown into Mysha:
a premium, membership-based community that’s reimagining the village for ambitious, growth-minded women in the wild terrain of early motherhood.
Today, Mysha serves nearly 1,000 members across 4 markets—offering curated pods, thoughtful touchpoints, and beautifully facilitated experiences that make moms feel seen, supported, and like themselves again.
We don’t offer passive advice or one-size-fits-all content. We offer intentional connection with women you can trust: expertly facilitated pods, curated IRL gatherings, and a concierge approach to building your village—with the heart and soul (and elevated aesthetic) today’s modern woman expects.
Our Values:
🪞 Real > perfect
How this shows up: We don’t “perform” motherhood. We normalize it. From our pods to our prompts to our partnerships, we lead with honest reflection and shared experience > pristine, polished prescriptions.
👡 Grow the woman, not just the mom
How this shows up: We know identity doesn’t stop at the nursery door. Mysha gives space for her evolving wholeness–holding space for her ambition, relationships, wellbeing, and voice.
⚖️ Support should scale with need
How this shows up: A DM at 2 a.m. or a breakthrough while sharing her story at a Mysha event—Mysha is built to meet women in their real-time moments, not on a schedule. We invest in trained pod facilitators and create a pod culture where women show up for each other in the moments where they crave understanding and being seen by someone who truly “gets it.”
🖋️ Design with context, not assumptions
How this shows up: From postpartum mental load to cultural nuance, we build with lived experience, not stereotypes. We listen closely and test what women actually need—not what the industry assumes they do.
🫶 Connection is care
How this shows up: Peer connection isn’t just a “nice to have”… it’s a cornerstone of early motherhood wellbeing. Our pods aren’t filler between appointments; they’re core to how women stay resourced, regulated, and rooted during early motherhood.
🕊 Permission to Be Whole
How this shows up: Mysha untangles motherhood from perfectionism. Mysha isn’t here to tame ambition; we honor it. But we also make space for the exhale. Because she knows how to push through — she’s been doing it her whole life. Mysha is where she learns to pause, reflect, and receive.
✨What type of Mysha mom are you?
You build the baby.
We’ll build your village.
Motherhood changes everything—but that doesn’t mean you should have to figure it out alone.
At Mysha, we believe the most high-functioning women deserve the most high-functioning support system.
And your community should feel as thoughtfully curated as your registry.
Without this group I am not sure how I would have met other local moms - especially with a demanding job and a newborn. And at least in New York, I now have so many examples of moms making it work while living in the city, which I had previously been worried about - no more!
Kendall Crocker, Brooklyn
Mysha has been the best way to meet like-minded moms who are interesting, driven, welcoming, and who have a wealth of experience to draw on and share.
