Today is Rainbow Baby Day, a day that holds bittersweet layers for so many moms. A rainbow baby is not just joy, it’s also a reminder of loss, of love, of fear, of resilience.

If you’ve walked through the storm of pregnancy or infant loss, or if you’re holding your rainbow baby right now, this post is for you.

This isn’t about “moving on” or “just being grateful.” It’s about honoring the messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, miraculous truth of motherhood.

💬Tell me in the comments: what does Rainbow Baby Day mean to you?

If posts like this make you feel less alone in motherhood, stick around.
I share honest, raw, and supportive content every week because moms deserve more than surface-level advice.

Why does everyone feel entitled to ask moms, “When’s the next one?”
The truth is not every family grows on schedule. Some moms wait years between children. Some never have another. And all of those paths are valid.

👉 I needed 7 ½ years before my second. That gap wasn’t a failure, it was my story.
👉 If you’ve ever felt judged, pressured, or “behind,” you’re not alone.

✨ Motherhood isn’t one timeline. It’s many different stories. And yours deserves respect.

🔖 Save this if you need the reminder.
💬 Comment if you’ve felt this pressure.

Sometimes motherhood feels heavy.
Sometimes I want to step out of it for just one day, just to breathe.
And sometimes, that thought terrifies me because what if it means I’m a bad mom?

But here’s what I know from my work as a therapist and my own life as a mom of two:
💛 Love isn’t measured by how much you enjoy every moment.
💛 Love isn’t erased by needing space.
💛 Love survives even the hardest seasons.

If you’ve been carrying that secret shame… I see you. You’re still a good mom. Always.

Let’s make this conversation louder, share this with a mom friend who might need to hear it today.

Nobody warned me that postpartum would feel like this…💔

The love is real.
But so is the exhaustion.
The tears you hide in the shower.
The guilt for not enjoying every moment.
The way your body feels like a stranger’s.
The thoughts you never expected to have.
The fear that maybe you’re not doing this “right.”

You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re navigating one of the hardest, most beautiful, most human seasons of your life.

I’m here to talk about the postpartum reality nobody prepares you for and to remind you that you don’t have to go through it alone. Follow for honest conversations, gentle support, and real tools from a therapist for moms who’s been there too. 🫶

You open your phone for a “break”… but leave feeling more anxious, overstimulated, and somehow not enough.
If you’re a new mom, this isn’t just frustrating, it’s exhausting.

Social media promises connection.
But what it really delivers?
💥 Comparison
💥 Noise
💥 Guilt
💥 Overwhelm

Especially in postpartum, the scroll becomes a habit.
But is it helping you or hiding you from yourself?

✨ You deserve real rest.
✨ You deserve to feel grounded, not judged.
✨ You deserve space to breathe again.

This isn’t about quitting. It’s about reclaiming your peace.
Start with a one-day detox. You’ll feel the shift.

Let’s talk about something no one prepares you for…
⁠
The brutal mental tug-of-war between trying to breastfeed and trying to stay sane.
⁠
💔 You’re sleep-deprived.
💔 Your ni***es are cracked.
💔 Your baby is crying.
💔 You feel like you’re failing.
⁠
But here’s the thing:
👉 Your mental health is not optional.
👉 Your worth is not tied to how you feed.
👉 Your baby needs a well mama more than anything else.
⁠
If you’re struggling with feeding and silently screaming on the inside this post is for you. Swipe through for real talk and permission to protect yourself too.

Start here, stay awhile, you’re not alone.

The last day of breastfeeding or pumping. Let’s talk about it.

It’s not just a milestone.
It’s a moment loaded with grief, relief, guilt, pride, and silence.

No one prepares you for that last latch… or the last bottle you pump.
You’re just suddenly done.
And while your body exhales—your heart might ache.

➡️ Maybe you feel free.
➡️ Maybe you feel like you failed.
➡️ Maybe you don’t even know how to feel.

Mama, it’s okay to feel both relieved and wrecked.
You weren’t just feeding your baby.
You were nourishing a version of yourself that no one else fully saw.

This is your reminder:
✨ Your worth was never measured in ounces.
✨ Your bond doesn’t end with weaning.
✨ You did your best. That is enough.

💬 Drop a “❤️” if you’ve been here. Share your story. Let’s grieve and celebrate together.
Follow along for raw truths and real talk about mom life because healing postpartum isn’t a solo job, and I’m here to walk it with you.

“At least you have a healthy baby.”
Ever heard that after your birth trauma?
Yeah… I have too.
And every time, it made my pain feel invisible.

You can be head-over-heels in love with your baby and still feel shattered after birth.
Gratitude doesn’t cancel trauma.
Motherhood is not a trade-off where you lose yourself just because a baby was born.

Let this post be your permission slip to stop pretending you’re okay when you’re not.
You’re allowed to feel. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to heal.

✨ I talk about the parts of motherhood no one warns you about because I’m a therapist for moms, and you deserve more than just survival.

I didn’t talk about my postpartum depression and anxiety for a long time.

Not because I didn’t believe in therapy.
Not because I didn’t know how common it was.
But because the shame was louder than anything I’d ever felt.

And here’s the part that still stings:
Even when I started working with other moms as a therapist,
I kept my own experience buried.
I was terrified that if I said it out loud,
people would think I wasn’t good enough as a mom or as a professional.

But the truth is:
You can know all the tools and still struggle.
You can help others while hiding your own pain.
And you can be an incredible mom and still need support.

If you’ve ever felt broken, ashamed, or like you’re the only one
you are exactly who this post is for.

🧡 Follow for more honest, judgment-free support through motherhood, postpartum, and everything in between.
Because I’m a therapist for moms and I’ve walked this path too.
You deserve to feel seen.

Did your birth story leave you with more questions than answers? More pain than anyone talks about? 💛

Birth Trauma Awareness Week is here and it’s a reminder that not every birth is ‘perfect.’
1 in 3 moms say they experienced birth trauma. 1 in 10 develop PTSD symptoms afterward.
But so many feel silenced by shame, guilt, or the fear that their story ‘doesn’t count.’

Here’s the truth: Your birth story is valid. Your feelings are real. And your healing is possible.
This week, we’re breaking the silence:
🌿 What birth trauma really is (and what it’s not)
🌿 Why you’re not alone in what you’re feeling
🌿 How you can take your first step toward healing

✨ Save this post to come back to when you need a reminder: You are not broken. You are not alone.
👉 Share it with a mom friend who might need these words.

I’m a therapist for moms, and you deserve to feel held.

Ever feel like you’re drowning in “advice” on how to be the perfect mom?

You’re not broken, you’re overloaded.
Your nervous system was never built to hold a thousand parenting opinions at once.
Let’s remind each other: You don’t have to know it all to love your kids well.

Less noise. More trust. More you.
Save this if you need to mute the momguilt spiral today.
