Snippets from our New York City launch event, a panel discussion we called “The Maternal Instinct,” to remind us that motherhood deserves to be supported in every way, and our instincts as moms go far beyond caring for our children. Women showing up for women. Connection that feels safe. Support that lasts beyond the event itself. 💜 oPPal’s core principle is connection, and this day was made possible by the incredible store, @hatchgal, for providing the space. And by our esteemed panelists, @lindzmetz, @joinauggie, @melaniemurraykaplan, and moderator, @withelizabethb. All brilliant women and mothers, who brought fresh and needed perspectives to help drive the conversation about modern motherhood forward. We’ll be sharing some video from the panel in the days to come. We are so grateful for everyone who showed up to listen and share!
