I’m honored to share this week’s conversation with Brenda Joy Lloyd-Jones, Ph.D., lovingly known as Dr. Brenda Joy—a Human Relations professor, leader, mother, and the visionary founder behind The Mothers Group, Inc.
What started 36 years ago as a small circle of moms seeking connection has blossomed into a multigenerational community rooted in belonging, education, and joy.
For Tulsa area friends, please make plan to attend the Santa Community Project on Saturday, December 6 from 9:00am - 12:00pm (noon) at the OU-Tulsa Learning Center, Founder's Hall, 4502 E. 41st Street in Tulsa.
In this episode, Dr. Brenda Joy shares:
✨ How her move to Tulsa inspired her to create the village she longed for
✨ The heart and history behind The Mothers Group, Inc.
✨ What has sustained the group for over three decades
✨ Stories of friendship, family milestones, and the power of showing up
✨ Details about The Santa Community Project, a beloved annual tradition bringing families together with Santa, Mrs. Claus, local youth performers, and the gift of literacy
✨ Her top three intentional practices for staying balanced, healthy, and joy-filled during the holidays
Her message is powerful:
Community doesn’t just happen—it’s something we build together.
If you’re craving connection, inspired by stories of leadership, or simply love seeing what happens when women unite with purpose, this conversation will fill your heart.
