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 transition, and most people are just figuring it out as they go.

What I see all the time is this:

Good couples
who love each other
who had every intention of staying close…

still end up feeling off after the baby.

Not broken.
Just stretched, tired, and trying to keep up with a completely new version of life.

That’s exactly why we created Prep for Us.

It’s a 6-week experience for expecting couples
who want to walk into parenthood already on the same page.

Not guessing.
Not reacting.
Actually prepared.

We help them build:

  • a clear plan for communication when they’re not at their best
  • a shared system for the mental load, so one person isn’t carrying it all
  • simple ways to stay connected when time and energy are low

The kind of foundation most couples wish they had built earlier.

So if someone came to mind while reading this…

this is one of those moments where a simple “Hey, I thought of you” actually matters.

You can:

  • forward them this email
  • send them my page
  • or just open the conversation

And to send you a little extra love from me:

If someone you refer joins Prep for Us,​
I’ll gift you a free 45-minute session (solo or with your partner).

We’ll use it on something that actually moves the needle for you, your choice:

  • making the invisible load visible
  • figuring out your favorite ways to connect when life is busy
  • mapping your values so decisions and boundaries feel clearer

If you’ve ever wished someone would’ve prepared you better for a big life shift…

this is your chance to be that person for someone else.

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...

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:...

Get clear about it yourself. Find the ways to clearly and kindly communicate. Do your part and see if they step in to...
