To the moms doing a million invisible things every day, we see you. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers, stepmothers, grieving mothers, postpartum moms, NICU moms, single moms, and those longing to become mothers.

You matter here.

Baby is asleep.
How much stuff can you get done?

Respectfully, none. 🩵

Because apparently my therapist says “buying tiny plants and repotting them in complete silence” counts as regulating my nervous system.

So instead of deep cleaning the house, I’ll be outside watering my emotional support herbs and pretending I don’t hear the laundry.

Turns out joy, sunlight, hobbies, and little moments that make you feel human again actually support mental health especially postpartum.

What makes you feel human!?

Have a great day here at Lagoon! 😅
Motherhood can be so hard. And especially when your kiddo is a deeply feeling kid. For those of you that are from Utah and have been to Lagoon I see you! lol. And maybe you saw us too 😂
I can kind of laugh now, but definitely cried my way through the park to the car today.

Sometimes our kids have majorrr meltdowns (5yr). And you know what in the moment there are parts of ourselves that are embarrassed, ashamed, frustrated, angry, etc. Yup! Me! I could feel myself wanting to shut down, hide, yell. And while I wasn’t my best self I was able to recognize in the moment what I was feeling. I count that as a win. Was it shame? Yup! Was it embarrassment? Yes! Was it the perfectionist part? Absolutely!
Once I was able to slow down and breathe I could see how much I was impacted by the outside noise.

I think sometimes we forget we are in this together. Parenthood is hard. Kids with biggggg emotions are hard. Postpartum is hard. But we continue to show up and do the hard work. We learn skills to regulate, we learn skills to repair, we learn skills to feel. If you are struggling. You are not alone! 🩵

Thanks to the person that grabbed the shoes that were launched. And the people that darted out of the way as the wagon was speed walking outta there! 🩵

Thanks to the baby for not losing his s**z too! I really appreciate that.

Sincerely, a mom who may never go back to Lagoon 😴

No one really prepares you for the biggest transition of your life.

You think it’s about having a baby…
But, it’s actually about becoming a sleep-deprived, snack dependent, emotionally complex version of yourself who cries over tiny socks and cold coffee.

Postpartum is wild!
One minute you’re obsessed with your baby, the next you’re wondering who you are, where your brain went, and why you just reheated the same cup of coffee for the 4th time.

And then there’s postpartum depression.
Where everything feels heavier than it should.
The joy you expected feels muted, your energy is gone,
and even the smallest things can feel overwhelming.

It’s loving your baby, but not always feeling like yourself in the process.

It’s missing your old life, feeling guilty for it, and wondering if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.

The biggest transition isn’t just becoming a parent it’s becoming a whole new person while trying to find your way back to yourself.

And some days?
It’s really hard.
And it’s okay to not be okay 🤍

I didn’t picture becoming a parent like this.
Not with monitors, wires, and learning my baby through an isolette.

I count ounces, breaths, and alarms instead of hours of sleep.
I celebrate things most people never think twice about.
I go home without my baby, and it never feels normal.

It’s really hard.
And some days, I’m not okay and that’s okay too.

But, I still show up every day.
I learn, I wait, I hope.
I hold onto every small win like it’s everything… because it is.

This is not the start I imagined,
but my love as a parent has never been louder.

You don’t have to do this alone! 🩵 Reach out to get connected with a therapist!

One thing about being a therapist is having a network of other therapists to support the work we do! Not only do we provide therapy to clients we have consultation that help us keep our bias in check, call us on our stuff, and validate our experience! Having a group to do this helps us in the best way possible! So grateful to do life with amazing providers! 🩵🤍

Hi!!!

Motherhood doesn’t come with a how to book and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

At GEM, moms are supported through:

• Specialized perinatal mental health care
• Therapy that truly understands motherhood
• Connection to real, practical support
• Early help before things feel overwhelming

Because struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you deserve support. 🤍

The hardest part isn’t just the loss—
it’s how the world keeps going like nothing happened.

People laugh, make plans, talk about tomorrow…
and you’re standing still in a moment that changed everything.

Your life split into a before and an after,
and somehow you’re expected to keep up with a world
that doesn’t even see what you’re carrying.

But just because everything else kept moving
doesn’t mean your pause is wrong.

Grief has its own time.
And love like this doesn’t just move on. 🤍

You don’t have to carry this alone.
The right therapist can hold space for your grief,
help you process the weight of it,
and walk beside you as you find your way forward—
at your pace, in your time.

Starting with a new provider while navigating postpartum depression can feel overwhelming—but it can also be a powerful step forward. 🤍

If you’re in this season:
• You don’t have to “start from scratch”—your story matters, and a good provider will take the time to understand it
• It’s okay if it takes a session or two to feel comfortable
• You deserve support that actually feels supportive

Postpartum depression can look like exhaustion, irritability, anxiety, disconnection, or just not feeling like yourself—and none of that makes you a bad parent. It means you’re human and in need of care, too.

Sarai works to create a space that feels safe, understood, and judgment-free—because healing happens when you don’t have to hold it all together.

You are not alone in this—and things can get better. 🤍

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or somewhere in between and quietly thinking…
“Why does this feel so much harder than I expected?”
Especially when the world feels heavy, loud, and overwhelming — you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this by yourself.

Hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, identity changes, intrusive thoughts, rage, anxiety, and overwhelm are real parts of this season.

Mandee currently has limited openings specifically for:
🤍 Pregnancy
🤍 Postpartum (including late postpartum)
🤍 Birth trauma
🤍 Perinatal anxiety, OCD, and mood changes

Support in this season can be life-changing — and these openings don’t come often.
