🧡Infertility Support Group: Sunday, July 27 at 3PM 🧡

If you’ve been carrying the stress of trying to get pregnant and feel like no one really gets it, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to go through this alone either.

Join us on Sunday, July 27 at 3pm for a support group designed specifically for those navigating infertility. Whether you’re in the middle of treatment, in a season of waiting, or just trying to catch your breath, this space is for you.

Led by two perinatal mental health specialists and IVF moms (hi, one of them is me👋), this group is a chance to connect, process, vent, and feel seen without the pressure to be “positive” or “hopeful”.

📍 In-person in Baton Rouge
🕒 Sunday, July 27 | 3PM
🧡 Open to anyone currently navigating infertility
📲 Text me at 225-933-2373 to save a seat

You deserve support that honors how hard this really is.

July is Bereaved Parents Awareness Month

There are no words for the pain of losing a child, only love that endures and grief that evolves but never fades. This month, we remember every baby and child missed, and every parent who carries that grief.

Good morning and it’s a Monday! Heading into this week and I’m bracing for all the worry coming my way as I hold space for mamas.

Gently reminding you all that the worry you carry about being a good mom does not make you a bad mom. Worrying, in fact, is your body’s way of creating vulnerability and openness necessary to keep you available to your children. Allowing yourself flexibility at how you’re parenting is key to letting your children in. Now, of course, too much worry does constitute suffering, and that’s usually what we have to tend to and manage through therapy as we explore the roots of it all.

If you’re not somewhat worried about being a good parent, time to listen to your kids. 🤍
