3 HOURS. START TO FINISH.

That’s how long my labor was w/ Harper. After a traumatic first birth, I honestly didn’t think this was possible for me.

Birth is the hardest thing I’ve ever done hands down. But also the most beautiful & rewarding. Our bodies are wild. Women’s work is unreal. It can feel unfair that we go through so much… but it can also be the most magical, primal, enlightening experience if you get the right support.

The car ride at 90mph, me in a robe w/ no shoes, eye mask on screaming “JUST DRIVE!!” 🤣 The birth combs cutting into my hands, Nick panicking over the EV not starting. The midwife telling me “you’re 9 cm” & me bursting into happy tears. By 4:05am she was on my chest. 8 lb 13 oz. 2 golden hours before anyone even weighed her. Cord pulsed white. She latched immediately. Pure magic ✨

Some things that I learned. Birth prep matters a lot, but softness matters more. Surrender. Patience. Breath. Rest. Trusting the process instead of forcing it!

✨ Things I SWEAR by for birth:
* Hypnobirthing class w/ , an angel on earth and will forever shout this from the rooftops! Virtual so you can do it from anywhere 🩷
* Doula support
* Birthing combs (2, one in each hand)
* Stretching nightly the entire 3rd tri, acupuncture & chiro in the final weeks, daily movement + rest days
* Eye mask (the bra-looking kind hahah)
* A partner who supports the sh*& out of you & floods you w/ oxytocin & understands what a marathon pregnancy/labor/postpartum truly is
* A doctor/midwife who trusts the process
* A hospital (if you choose) that supports natural birth, delayed cord cutting & long golden hours
*
If you’re waiting for your own birth, know this: it doesn’t have to be calm or perfect to be beautiful 🌸

Charley meeting Harper for the first time 😭😭 swipe for some v wholesome content 🥲

I was sooo nervous about a 2nd baby and how Charley would react, how I could ever love another human as much as Charley, and if it would make Charley feel sad and abandoned. It’s definitely brought on a lot of emotions, but it’s also sweeter and more special than we ever imagined!!!

This was the very first time she met her and oh my goshhhh our hearts.

When Charley got to the hospital we had Harper in the bassinet behind us so that it wasn’t obvious that we were just chillin’ with a new baby, and I wasn’t holding her or anything. Charley got to climb into bed with me first and then when she was ready, we introduced the baby. I got this advice from so many moms and I think it really helped!!! 🙏🏼🎀

She’s here ✨ Harper 🤍🎀 8 lbs 13 oz, fashionably 9 days late but right on time. We showed up to the hospital at 9cm (she almost made her entrance in the car 😅) and from there it was the unmedicated, redemptive birth I’ve been dreaming of and working so hard for. She is the sweetest, and Charley is so in awe of her (though her excitement often comes out as head-butting kisses, pinches, and tackles, so Nick and I are currently playing 24/7 defense 😂🙈).

If you’ve been here since Charley’s birth in 2023, you know how overwhelming and traumatic that experience was for us. This time I approached things so differently, poured myself into preparation, and every single piece of it paid off. The result was a birth that felt positive, empowering, and everything I prayed for. It still feels surreal, and I can’t wait to share what helped me most, not just for our MaddHealthy clients but for our whole community of women TTC or in the thick of their reproductive years, bc I know it can give so many hope that this kind of experience is possible for them too, even after a traumatic birth that made you think you can never do it again. Everyone is healthy, happy, and we’re soaking up all the newborn snuggles 🥰☀️

We are beyond grateful for our village. Truly couldn’t have done it without the incredible support. If you’re in San Diego and want to know who was on my dream team, send me a message and I’ll share the whole list as well as the full story V soon, stay tuned!! 🤍

50g sugar in a regular PSL?! Honestly, never worth it to me! The rest of my day would be ruined simply bc of how I FEEL (low energy, brain fog, cravings, mood swings, etc.). Here’s a cozy upgrade your hormones will love and that will taste delish AND make you feel amazing 🍂☕

Most PSL syrups don’t even use real pumpkin, just sugar + natural flavors that throw off blood sugar and hormones

This version is made with pumpkin purée, warming spices that support digestion, collagen for skin + hair, and just enough natural sweetness from real/organic maple syrup (although you can use monkfruit or another clean sweetener for an even lower blood sugar impact!) You get the cozy fall vibes plus actual nourishment for energy, mood, and hormone balance ✨ (and you can grab almost everything at TJs!) Fat + Fiber + Protein!

Ingredients:
• 1 can organic pumpkin purée
• ~2–3 tbsp organic maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/3 cup of your fave milk/cream (I love unsweet nutpods for the creamiest, coconut milk, or Elmhurst, organic non dairy milk options like Malk or Three Trees).
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (add more if you’re extra)
• 2+ scoops unflavored collagen

Shake it up, add 2–3 spoonfuls into your morning coffee or matcha, and enjoy. Your hormones will thank you. 🩷

Sprinkle w/ cinnamon maple sugar (so clean and delish!) and/or add a pinch of sea salt! Enjoyyy!!!

We’ve been told “health” means working harder, eating less, doing more… but when it comes to hormones, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

✨ Sleep > 5am workouts
✨ Rest isn’t lazy, it’s medicine
✨ Flat abs & no cellulite doesn’t equal balanced hormones
✨ Hacks don’t work if the basics aren’t mastered ✨ And alcohol impacts you wayyyyyy longer than the weekend

Your hormones don’t need another shiny hack. They need a plan that actually works for YOUR body.

🚨 we only take a very limited number of 1:1 clients at a time, and August spots are almost gone. If your cycle, fertility, energy, or mood feel “off”... this is your sign.

👉 DM us the word “READY” to book your call before the last spots are gone!

Comment “LIST” for discount links and I’ll send it to ya in one quick list! 🩷

And then, tell me yours?!?

If your hormones are a mess, read this before buying another “fix.”

You don’t need another trendy supplement or magic drink, you need to master the boring basics you’ve been skipping.

The stuff that actually works isn’t sexy, but it changes everything.

I put the real advice in this carousel. The stuff that might sting, but will actually get you results if you stick with it.

• Save this post so you don’t forget.
• Send it to your friend who keeps saying “it’s just my hormones.”
• Comment “FOUNDATIONS” if you’re ready to finally fix them 🩷🩷🩷

21 months. 1000’s of feeds.
And yesterday, for the first time, we didn’t nurse.
& it’s World Breastfeeding Week 🤍

This chapter has been the most beautiful, raw, emotional ride of my life, and closing it now feels so full-circle

I’m 21 months pp with Charley & 35 weeks pregnant w/ baby #2. And I was SO close to giving up in the beginning.

Breastfeeding was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
I’ve played college soccer. Worked out twice a day for years. Run 5:13 miles. Had brain surgery. I thought I knew “hard.”

But nothing prepared me for this.

I had amazing lactation support from & in the hospital at ,
postpartum care covered by Nicks “Carrot” benefits w/ . Chiro support for Charley to help her relieve tension and trauma , a husband who washed bottles all hours of the night, held the syringe, and triple-fed w/ me for first 3 straight months. (45-min feeds every 1–1.5 hrs. Around the clock.)

And w/o all that support, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.

So here’s what I’ve learned:
Breastfeeding isn’t just willpower.
It’s support. It’s access. And it’s not always “natural” like we’re told.
If it didn’t work out for you, you are still an amazing mom.
I’ve nursed on kitchen floors. On the side of highways, crying with a screaming baby who couldn’t latch. In corners of parties for hours bc Charley fed on me, 12+ hours a day. I carried my nursing pillow everywhere for 6 months. It felt impossible at first. But then it became the easiest & most enjoyable part of my day for the next 18 months 🤍

I spent years feeling like my body failed me. I was told I would likely never get pregnant. And that same body nourished my baby for almost 2 years. Eight of those months while growing another.

So mamas, if you’re in it right now:
Your body is capable of more than you think.
It can heal. It can surprise you.
Tears are streaming as I type this 🥹

Love to every mama feeding her baby in whatever way she can.
And love to every woman still waiting for her turn.

To the moms in the trenches: it won’t always feel this hard… but it will always be this worth it

Oneeee-ish month left! 😜🤰🏼☀️ Some random af camera crumbs from this summer—

- 2x MaddHealthy Events this past month… SO rewarding and full circle. Nothing beats getting to meet you all IRL and collaborating with other entrepreneurs I truly look up to ❤️

- My incredible team of practitioners that I’m thankful for every.single.day (and the rest of our crew, not pictured!) .tway .health.wellness

- All the friends & fam time, soaking up these last few weeks as a family of 3— Charley is at such a hilarious stage… the cutest and most fun, but also the most exhausting and wild (especially in the heat of summer at 8+ months pregnant 😮‍💨)

- Two weeks in Seattle with my fam: cozy cousin time, way too much paleo blackberry cobbler, beach hangs, ferry rides + more

- Sunsets, meditation, and evening yoga—keeping this stiff, pregnant body moving!

This month = all about:

- Slowing wayyy down + nesting for baby girl (nesting w/ .co and getting our house all prepped!!! 💃🙏🏼)

- Planning and prepping with my .healthy team so our clients feel beyond supported and MHM keeps being the place for the most beautiful transformations every single week

- Personal pregnancy/labor prep: doula support , hypnobirthing classes, pelvic floor PT, at-home bodywork (massage/chiro) and lots of mental prep for my redemption birth!!
