Love the work, passion and wisdom of these women who are advocating for maternal health. If I had head them on the radio when I was post partum I’d be bawling my eyes out from feeling understood in ways I couldn’t understand myself. A tribe like Moms Matter Now helps women hold onto themselves amidst the life altering transition to
Motherhood. Check out their online membership and their recent interview on alaska public radio- https://www.alaskapublic.org/2022/03/21/line-one-moms-matter-now-supports-mothers-before-and-after-pregnancy/

⭐️Moms Matter Now on Line One TODAY at 10am AKST! Tune in to KSKA 91.1 to hear from us and call in with any questions you may have!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Motherhood is an amazing and incredibly challenging time, but few people talk about the emotional and psychological transition. In fact, many new moms experience negative mental health impacts while going undiagnosed and untreated. Moms Matter Now is an Alaska organization dedicated to empowering, educating and supporting women from pregnancy to early motherhood.

Feeling excited to open my office back up to offer Emotion Coaching sessions for families- a joyful and meaningful adjunct to my therapy practice. This pandemic year has highlighted our collective risk and energized my commitment to foster collective resilience through social and emotional learning for all. A 4-session package of caregiver, child and family sessions are designed to engage growing emotional intelligence in a playful and educational way across the lifespan. Learning about feelings and how feelings live in the body are the building blocks for creating connection within ourselves and with others and foundational for mental HEALTH.

A worthy listen and goldmine of information for educators, parents and caregivers who value the important role we play in giving guidance to kids in the world of emotions and relationships.

Initially, we set out to talk about Social Emotional Learning (SEL) at a time when millions of kids have been home, attending school online and missing out on valuable time with their peers.

As my family faces some transitions this week a dose of “Pass the grateful please..” was just what we needed at the breakfast table. The greater the stress, the greater the need to take a deep breath and find the good. Sharing gratitude as a family helps us bond, learn about one another and boosts our immunity against the wear and tear of daily life.

Our bodies hold all our feelings. Staying open to what’s hard to feel helps us work through hard times. Taking intentional moments to hold feelings we want to feel helps support our mental health. It’s important to leave the shame talk out of it- “I should feel thankful” or “ just be thankful.” Humans have an incredible capacity to hold the truth of what is hard and what is good- all at once.
