May is Maternal Mental Health Month & It’s right around the corner💛

This is something that does not get talked about enough.

So many parents are struggling quietly.
Some in the postpartum period.
Some during pregnancy.
And some while trying to become parents, navigating infertility, loss, and everything that comes with that.

This month is about making space for those experiences.
It is about bringing them into the light instead of carrying them alone.

Move for Moms is one small way we are doing that!

Registration for the 5km is now closed, but I would truly love to see people come out and support. Come cheer on our over 50+ runners and walkers, be part of the energy, and help create a space where people feel seen and supported.

If you are not able to attend, you can also support by giving toward the fund we have created to help parents access counselling when they need it most. Accessible support can make such a difference. For more info, email rebekahduvalcounselling@gmail.com

We also have more events happening throughout May to continue highlighting and supporting maternal mental health, including Flora’s Walk, which is always such a meaningful day in our community. 💛

If this resonates with you, I hope you will follow along, come out, or share.💛

Moves for Moms 5KM Run 💛

This run brings together two things that have deeply shaped my life: supporting moms and running.

Running has been one of the most steady supports for my own mental health. It gave me space to breathe, process, and reconnect with myself during hard seasons. I was never trying to be fast or competitive. I just needed something that felt grounding. Over time, it truly changed my life, and I hope it can have that same impact for others.

As a counsellor, I work with moms every day who are carrying so much. My hope with this run is to create a low pressure, welcoming space where people can move their bodies, try a 5KM, and feel encouraged rather than intimidated.

You do not need to be a runner. You do not need to be a mom. This event is for anyone who wants to show up and be part of something supportive.

Sunday, April 26
9:00 AM
Carleton Park, Fredericton

Stupid Love Tattoo is proud to join the annual Flora’s Walk in Fredericton in support of perinatal mental health 🖤

We’re coming together for something bigger than tattoos—this is about showing up for moms, for healing, and for access to the care they truly deserve.

Flash tattoos. Good vibes. Real impact.

Come hang out, grab a drink, and be part of something meaningful. Every piece helps make a difference.

Huge love to all the incredible collaborators making this possible 💛

Let’s show up for this. See you there.

biggest learning as a parent?
I make mistakes. a lot.

most humbling part of parenting?
learning to reflect and say sorry.

something I keep coming back to…
sometimes my approach comes off wrong, but the care is always there.

I’m learning that being a parent isn’t about getting it right all the time. it’s about showing up, owning when you mess up, and trying again.

last week I said to my 6 year old,
“you know this is my first time being a mom”
and she looked at me and said,
“what… you weren’t born a mom?”

and honestly… that stuck with me.

because it’s true.
our kids are growing up… and we are too.

so if you feel like a bad mom today (hi, same)…
maybe the fact that you reflect, repair, and say sorry is actually what makes you a good one.

Holidays, although so lovely and joyful, can also be really hard 🤍

I often notice myself dwelling on family or relational challenges more than usual, or comparing myself… even feeling like my worth is in what “Easter gift” I get my kid.

Something I never grew up with, and definitely not something anyone needs to do. But for those who love doing it, more power to you 🤍

Regardless of what you do this weekend, I just want to remind you that it is okay to let go of the pressure to have perfect family interactions or a perfect Easter egg hunt.

Life is stressful enough, and sometimes less really can be more.

And social media is a highlight reel. BIG time. I try to post honestly, but even that is filtered. Let’s be real.

So this long weekend, try to take it for what it is and meet yourself where you are at.

If that is joyful family time and Easter egg hunts, that is amazing 🤍
But if it is not, if it is grief, sadness, loneliness, or something else entirely, that is okay too.

Try to extend some grace to yourself. You are enough.

And if comparison feels loud, maybe take a little break from social media or do whatever you need to take care of yourself.

All my love,
ben
