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 feel like a creeper but also, don't recreate the wheel if someone's already slamming it, yeah?) Then, if you realize in the process that you could really use a 3rd party guide to get you and your partner into a better place again, or that the changes of motherhood have left you unsure of what you even want, that's why I'm here and you can always grab a free call with me to see ways I can help. |

About mothers needing more support. About care-centered communities. About female wisdom, leadership, connection, and what it could look like for mothers to stop carrying so much alone. And I love those conversations. But I also keep coming back to one question: What is the first real step? Not...
Postpartum Together🫶 I keep thinking about how unnatural modern motherhood can feel. ↓ Not because mothers today are doing it wrong. But because so many moms are doing something deeply communal inside lives that are set up for isolation. For most of human history, motherhood happened with people nearby. A baby was passed from arm to arm. A toddler was corrected by someone who wasn’t already touched out. A meal showed up without a full explanation of why you needed it. A mom could say, “I...
