‘The Motherhood’ series premiere: How to watch, where to stream free

The brand new unscripted series, The Motherhood, premieres on the Hallmark Channel Monday, May 5 at 8/7c.

Created and hosted by actress Connie Britton, The Motherhood brings together Britton and three experts in parenting, style and home—Angela Rose, Destini Ann and Taryn Hicks—to help single mothers create more balanced and fulfilling lives for themselves and their families.

As this is a highly anticipated release, the first two hour-long episodes of the series are premiering back-to-back. Episode one centers on mom Tasha. According to the episode synopsis, Tasha poured everything into being a mom but lost herself. With support from the experts, Tasha learns to set boundaries, reclaim her space and rediscover her confidence, proving that she’s not just a mom, she’s Tasha too.

The second episode of the season follows Rochelle, a superhero single mom who always puts her boys first. With support from Connie Britton and The Neighbor ladies, she realizes that even the strongest moms deserve to prioritize themselves.
