💛 September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

If you’re navigating pregnancy or postpartum, please know this truth:
👉🏾 You are not weak for struggling.
👉🏽 You are not failing if motherhood feels heavier than you imagined.
👉🏻 You are not alone in your thoughts.

Su***de is one of the leading causes of death during the perinatal period — but it doesn’t have to be this way. With support, compassion, and safe spaces to share, healing is possible. 🌿

✨ This month is a reminder to check in with yourself and with the moms in your life.
✨ It’s okay to ask for help.
✨ And it’s more than okay to prioritize your mental health.

If you are struggling, please reach out. In the U.S., you can dial 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. 💛 Help is here.

✨ Filling My Own Cup First ✨

This week I practiced what I encourage my clients to do: intentionally making space for joy, movement, connection, and rest. 💙

Here’s what that looked like for me:
🎭 Laughing at a comedy show (the best medicine sometimes)
💪 Moving my body at the gym
🍴 Enjoying a delicious dinner
🛋️ Giving myself permission to rest + recharge
📚 Celebrating community and inspiration at a book launch party

Every one of these moments reminded me of something I tell my clients often: wellness isn’t one big act, it’s the small, intentional choices we make every day.

Gentle reminder: you deserve the same. Fill your cup. Prioritize yourself. That’s where the healing begins. 🌸

Before: She felt like she was constantly “on edge” — snapping at the smallest things, exhausted by the constant mental load of work, family, and everything in between.

After: With tools to manage her anxiety and set healthy boundaries, she now ends her days feeling calmer, more present, and more in control.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about giving you the space, support, and strategies to feel more like yourself again.

💙 If you’re ready for that shift, we’re here to help.

Overfunctioning is a trauma response—rest is a healing one.

📲 Save this and come back when the urge to “do more” kicks in.

You don’t have to prove your worth by burning out.

✨Millennial Moms Don’t Have It All—We Just Do It All.
And we’re tired.

Between back-to-back meetings, drop-offs, grocery runs, emotional check-ins, and late-night to-do lists... we’re holding it all together with invisible labor and quiet exhaustion.

I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one navigating career goals while trying to be a present, emotionally available mom.

But we deserve better.
We deserve rest.
We deserve support—without having to prove how much we need it.

💡 I’m learning to say no.
💡 I’m learning to ask for help.
💡 I’m learning that rest is a form of resistance—and healing.

💬 I’d love to hear from you:
What’s one thing you’ve stopped doing—or started doing—to make motherhood more sustainable?

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗻 🌟

I’m working with a mom right now who has 𝘣𝘪𝘨 goals for her life—goals that would change everything for her and her family.

But like so many of us, she felt paralyzed by how far away they seemed.

Instead of trying to overhaul everything at once, we focused on 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀:
➡️ One boundary at work
➡️ One intentional moment with her kids
➡️ One act of self-care that didn’t get pushed to the bottom of the list

Now, just a few weeks in, she’s already seeing the ripple effect.

She feels more confident. Her energy is coming back.
And those big goals? They don’t feel so out of reach anymore.

You don’t need a whole retreat to reconnect with yourself (though it sounds amazing, right?).

Start with 5 minutes. One question. One tiny act of remembering.

🌸 Motherhood Tip of the Week: Stop Measuring Your Worth by Your To-Do List

You are not behind.
You are not failing.
You are doing the best you can — and that’s more than enough.

Motherhood isn’t about productivity. It’s about presence.
So if all you did today was love your child and keep going — that counts.

✨ Try this: At the end of the day, write down 3 things you did do, no matter how small. Let that be your new measure of success.

As Mother’s Day approaches, I’m thinking about the moms who are smiling in photos…
but carrying so much behind the scenes. 💔💗

The ones who:
✨ Wake up exhausted but keep going
✨ Pour into everyone and wonder who pours into them
✨ Are healing, grieving, growing—and still showing up

To the moms who feel stretched thin, unseen, or unsure of who they are right now—
you are not alone.
You are worthy of care, rest, and recognition that goes beyond brunch and flowers.

This Mother’s Day, I’m holding space for you.
For your journey, your heart, your mental health. 💛

🌿 May is Maternal Mental Health Month 🌿
Let’s talk about what too often goes unsaid.

Motherhood can be beautiful—but it can also be heavy.

Many women silently carry the weight of:
✨ Identity shifts
✨ Overwhelming anxiety
✨ Postpartum depression
✨ Sleepless nights and self-doubt
✨ The pressure to “bounce back” while holding it all together

You are not alone. You are not failing. You are human—and worthy of support.

This month, let’s hold space for the moms who feel unseen in their struggle. Let’s normalize asking for help. Let’s remind each other that mental health is just as important as physical recovery.

If you—or someone you love—is navigating the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy or new motherhood, we offer tailored 1:1 services designed to support your well-being.
