The most helpful resource I've seen all month

The most helpful resource I've seen this month is not one of my own. TBH I shine in the coaching seat, face-to-face with you and your partner. But the cute and well-designed PDFs? It's not my sweet spot. Kelsey of @kelsewhatelse on IG already made an incredible one that I'd highly recommend so instead of making something new, I'm going to urge you to download (*ahem* and actually use *ahem*) this free Mother's Day resource she made. (She does not know me or that I'm sending this and I kind of...

Prep for Us Postpartum Together🫶 Who do you know that’s pregnant right now…and you genuinely want things to go well for them? ↓ Not just the baby. Them. Their relationship.Their day-to-day life.The way they show up as a team when things get hard. You might already be that person for them—the one they vent to, laugh with, send updates to. But if you’re honest… You might not be the one to help them prepare for what’s coming. Not because you don’t care.But because this is a really specific...

Postpartum Together 4/19/26 If you want Mother’s Day to actually feel good…you need to make your expectations visible before the day. ↓ Not by planning it for him.Not by sending a full itinerary. But by giving him the target. Instead of: “I don’t care, whatever you want to do…” Try: “Mother’s Day feels really meaningful to me when it’s thoughtful and planned ahead of time. I don’t need anything big, but I do want to feel considered and not like I’m managing the day.”Or even more specific:...

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...

Woman with hands on hips against black background

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...
