Husbands, loving her is important. But love alone doesn’t always tell you how to support her.

Sometimes support means noticing that she’s exhausted before she has to say it.
Sometimes it means taking something off her plate without waiting to be asked.
And sometimes it means listening to her feelings without immediately trying to fix them.

Because when she has to ask, explain, delegate and remind you every time she needs support, she’s still carrying the mental load.

The goal isn’t to become a perfect husband.
It’s to become a more intentional partner.

And if you’re preparing to become parents, learning how to support each other before the baby arrives can make a huge difference to how you navigate the fourth trimester together.

Expecting a baby?
My workshop The Fourth Trimester is designed to help couples prepare for the emotional, relational and identity shifts that come with becoming parents.

Save this for the conversation you need to have before the baby arrives — and send it to a husband who needs to read it.

The Lindsay Clancy case has sparked conversations around the world. My intention in sharing this isn’t to comment on guilt or innocence that’s for the courts to decide.

My hope is that this case encourages us to take postpartum mental health more seriously.

Postpartum psychosis is rare, but it is a psychiatric emergency. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and other postpartum mental health conditions are far more common, and every mother deserves to feel safe asking for help before she reaches a crisis.

No mother should suffer in silence.

No partner should feel unprepared to recognize when the person they love is struggling.

If this reel resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please keep the conversation respectful this is a space for compassion, education, and support. ❤️

Save this reel so more families understand that postpartum mental health deserves the same attention as physical recovery. Share it with someone who needs this reminder.

There’s something about becoming a mom that no one really prepares you for.

The constant feeling that no matter what you’re doing… you should be doing something else.

When I’m working, I wonder if I should be with my son.

When I’m with my son, my mind drifts to the work waiting for me.

And somehow, guilt manages to exist in both places.

Then I think about my own mom.

Growing up, I always felt she had everything under control. She worked, she showed up for us, and somehow she made it all look effortless.

Only now do I realize she was probably carrying the same invisible weight I’m carrying today.

Maybe that’s the part of motherhood we don’t talk about enough.

The invisible mental load.

The guilt.

The constant questioning.

This is Episode 3 of The Project Me Diaries, where I’m documenting the journey of rebuilding myself while raising my son.

If this episode made you feel seen… then maybe we’re carrying this together. 🤍

💬 Be honest… when do you feel the most mom guilt?

I’d love to read your answers, and I have a feeling another mom reading the comments might feel a little less alone because of them.

Today, I’m sharing something I’ve poured my heart into.

When I became a mum, I realised there was so much information about pregnancy and birth—but very little that prepared us for what happened after.

The identity shifts.
The relationship changes.
The emotional highs and lows.
The transition into becoming a family.

That experience stayed with me, and it became the reason I created The Fourth Trimester.

A live online workshop designed to help expecting couples prepare not just for giving birth, but for what comes after.

Because there are already wonderful antenatal classes that prepare you for the practical side of birth.

This workshop prepares you for the human side of becoming a family. 🤍

✨ Registrations officially open this Saturday.

I can’t wait to welcome you.

Tag an expecting couple or someone who’s about to become a parent. They might need this more than they know. 🤍
