Postpartum peace starts with boundaries. 💛 Saying “no” is an act of protection for your healing, your baby, and your mental health. The right people will understand; the rest can wait.

Get comfortable not caring about others opinions. You and your baby come first - always.

The Parenting Pause 💛

Something I find important to encourage all new parents to do: choose one night a week each to be completely off-duty. No baby duties, no chores — just time to rest, recharge, or remember who you are outside of parenting.

Knowing that break is coming can make even the hardest weeks feel lighter. Research shows that regular partner support and personal time reduce postpartum stress and strengthen relationships (Leahy-Warren et al., 2020; Bina & Harrington, 2023).

It’s not selfish — it’s how you refill your cup so you can pour love back into your family.

World Mental Health Day

Today, we pause to honor the courage it takes to seek help, to heal, and to hold space for one another. At Lake Michigan Counseling Services, we are deeply honored to do the work we do—to walk alongside our clients through the valleys and toward the light of hope and wholeness.

Every conversation, every breakthrough, every small step forward matters. Mental health care saves lives, and we are proud to be part of that vital, life-giving work each and every day.

Let’s continue breaking the stigma, supporting one another, and remembering: no one has to walk this journey alone.

Mondays can feel heavy—but they can also be a fresh start. At Lake Michigan Counseling Services, we believe in using the start of the week to ground yourself, breathe, and set one gentle intention.

💡 Ask yourself: What’s one small thing I can do this week that will support my mental health?

Whether it’s taking a mindful walk, saying “no” to something that drains you, or finally reaching out for support—you deserve to care for yourself today and every day.

If you’re ready to prioritize your wellbeing this fall, we have openings for new clients.

✨ Introducing our new Postpartum Survival Guide ✨
At Lake Michigan Counseling Services, we know the transition into motherhood can be overwhelming—and you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

Our own Olivia Brenninkmeijer, advanced-trained by Postpartum Support International (PSI) in PMADs, highlights a key protective factor: community support. That’s why our Mind Body Baby Collective location offers resources designed just for you—whether it’s taking a restorative nap in the Rest Lounge, enjoying a warm drink in the café, or connecting with other moms. 🫶

These small, intentional moments of care can help prevent postpartum depression and anxiety or ease the load if you’re noticing early risk factors. 🌿

Stay tuned weekly for each new tip from our Postpartum Survival Guide!
