what do you want for Mother's Day?

What do you really want your partner to do or say or create or book for you to feel seen and celebrated? Are you telling them?Sure, you might tell them and they might not deliver, but at least then you can say you gave them a clear shot and picture that they could choose to deliver on if they wanted. the time to tell them what you want a month from now on Mother's Day, is now. Get clear about it yourself. Find the ways to clearly and kindly communicate. Do your part and see if they step in to...

Postpartum Together April 5th, 2026 After 4 Nickleback songs, I laughed a bit, realizing I have a tendency to take myself and life too seriously and heeded the reminder to chill TF out and let myself be totally un-impressive. ↓ For the first few years of motherhood, I really wanted people to be impressed. I wanted my mom and grandma to be impressed by how I seamlessly transitioned from daughter to mother.I wanted my in-laws to be impressed with what an exceptional choice I was for their son...

Snow-covered branches of a tree in winter

I want to share something I see often, and I say it with a lot of tenderness. When a mom keeps pushing herself to the bottom of the list, something usually starts to grow in the background. Not all at once.Quietly. It can look like resentment that doesn’t have a clear target.A numbness where joy used to be.A sense of being needed, but not really known. Most women don’t wake up one day and think, “I want a different life.” They wake up and realize they’ve been living on the sidelines of their...

A boarded-up window on a yellow wall

One of the biggest fears moms carry (even if they don’t say it out loud) is this: “If I start taking up more space, something will break.” Their relationship.Their family rhythm.The fragile balance they’ve worked so hard to hold together. So instead, they stay small.They stay quiet.They stay “fine.” Confident Mom Reset isn’t about blowing up your life or reinventing yourself. It’s about something much more grounded: Learning how to identify what actually fills your cup.Communicating it...

Many moms I talk to don’t actually lack support. They have partners who offer to take the kids.Friends who say, “Go, I’ve got this.”Moments in the week where, technically, time exists. And yet. They still don’t take it. 🤯 They wipe the counter instead.Fold one more load.Answer one more message.Tell themselves they’ll rest after everything else is done.(And then "done" never really comes. I don’t think this is a time problem.I think it’s a permission problem. Somewhere along the way, a lot of...

Chels + Mike | Postpartum Together January 26th, 2026 Postpartum Together is on a mission to build connected families in a disconnected world. ↓ How are you? Are you pausing to take deep breaths? Are you putting your phone away for certain hours of the day to protect your mental wellness and ability to be present? Are you sleeping? I don't think any of us could have imagined that raising children in 2026 would look and feel like this. And for those of you who also parented through Covid, good...

Chels + Mike | Postpartum Together January 18th, 2026! As we onboarded 3 new couples last week, we had to laugh because they're each very different from eachother. (If your relationship isn’t broken, but doesn’t feel like home either, this is for you.) ↓ But also, those 3 couples share one belief that they shared with us in some form or another - don't wait until something is painful and broken to give it attention. One couple told us they realized they hadn’t had a real conversation in six...

Chels + Mike | Postpartum Together January 7th, 2026! January doesn’t need another goal.It needs support. ↓ Most parents don’t enter a new year lacking effort or desire. They enter it tired. Carrying patterns they didn’t choose. Reacting more than they want to. Wondering why things feel harder than they should. What actually helps isn’t pushing harder.It’s having the right guide and the right people around you. That’s why we’re opening two small, intentional group experiences this January—one...
