There are so many incredible people working in the birth space, but the postpartum community is still relatively small.

This work has shown me over and over again just how needed postpartum support is. Even families with incredible villages can benefit from someone who specializes in postpartum care. Someone trained to notice what others may not see, anticipate needs, offer resources, and care for the mother. At the same time, everyone else is focused on the baby.

The work I do doesn’t end when I leave someone’s home. When I’m not with my own kids, I’m often in another family’s home. And when everyone is sleeping, I’m getting up early or staying up late to write emails, create resources, educate, make videos, build workshops, and try to grow a business I believe in with my whole heart.

I’m sharing this because I always want to be transparent. I love this work, and I believe in it more than ever. But meaningful work can be beautiful AND heavy.

Right now, I’m learning how to hold both.

Please tell me other moms do this. 😂

No talking, no sharing my food, no kids in my arms, just me, my thoughts, and half a watermelon. 🍉

P.S. Watermelons are supposed to have seeds. I said what I said…

We applaud mothers for doing it all, and keep asking mothers to be more resilient. But, instead we should start asking why they’re expected to carry so much in the first place.

The point isn’t that postpartum mental health is simply an individual mother’s problem. It’s also about the systems and culture surrounding her.

Sometimes the smallest acts of service become the biggest acts of love.

If someone you know is expecting, don’t wait until after the baby arrives to ask, “Let me know if you need anything.”

Show up for her, bring the meal, fold the laundry, do the dishes, and listen without trying to fix. These moments become part of a mother’s postpartum story, and she’ll never forget them.

That’s exactly why I created my Essential Postpartum Workshop.

Postpartum isn’t something we’re meant to figure out after the baby arrives; it’s something we can prepare for. Together, we’ll talk about recovery, nutrition, newborn care, feeding, sleep, mental health, partner communication, and how to build a village that truly supports your family.

If you’re expecting or love someone who is, I would love to help you feel prepared and supported before birth.

✨ Upcoming Workshops:
• August 16 | STL Nurture Collective | 10:00–11:30 AM
• September 5 | Healing STL | 9:30–11:00 AM
• October 24 | Healing STL | 9:30–11:00 AM

Registration is available through the link in my bio. I can’t wait to meet you!

Things We Should Rephrase During Postpartum

Small changes in our words can make a mother feel truly seen.

1.) ❌ “How can I help?”

Sometimes the mental load of deciding how someone can help feels overwhelming. Offering specific options load of deciding how someone can help feels overwhelming. Offering specific options makes it easier to accept support.

2.) ❌ “Are you hungry? What can I make you?”

A postpartum mother shouldn’t have to plan her own nourishment.

3.) ❌ “Sleep when the baby sleeps.”

Sometimes what mothers need most is the opportunity to rest—not advice.

4.) ❌ “Just wait… it gets harder.”

Parents deserve hope, not fear.

5.) ❌ “Trust your instincts.”

There is nothing wrong with needing guidance.

6.) ❌ “Let me know if you need anything.”

Support is most meaningful when it doesn’t require a mother to ask for it.

7.) ❌ “You’re so lucky you get to stay home with the baby.”

Every mother deserves to feel seen, not just for what she’s doing, but for who she is.

Words matter. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give a postpartum mother isn’t advice; it’s feeling supported, understood, and never alone.

❤️ Save this post for yourself or someone supporting a new family.

Bumps and Bagels at New Mom School, generously sponsored by and was amazing in all the best ways 💛✨

Pregnant mamas got to share, connect with others and learn from experts in our community to better prepare them for life after baby arrives 💛✨

A huge thank you to Emily Zwilling and Dr. Amy Horn for sharing with our mamas to be, and to our sponsors for making this event a possibility for FREE! And a special shoutout to for donating the yummy desserts for our celebration 🍰

The biggest reminder to those expecting - motherhood was never meant to be done alone, and planning ahead now is always a good idea 🫶🏻

We’ll see you in the circle soon, mamas! Next time, with your sweet babies!🙏🏻

I still remember the first time I met Dr Amy Horn|Abundant Health Chiro|ShesBack

I had just pivoted my business, and she reached out on social media asking if we could get together so she could learn more about what I did. At that stage of my business, I was reaching out to anyone and everyone, hoping to make connections.

But the moment I sat down with Amy, something shifted.

I realized I wasn’t looking to network anymore. I was looking for people who valued authenticity over appearances. People who weren’t afraid to talk about the hard things, share their failures, dream out loud, and challenge the way I think.

I wasn’t looking for contacts; I was looking for a connection and a true friendship.

Amy is one of the most genuine people I know. She’s raw, honest, and fiercely loyal, and she constantly reminds me that success isn’t measured by money or followers; it’s measured by the lives we impact.

She’s not trying to be the loudest person in the room. She’s trying to leave people better than she found them. That’s the kind of business I want to build, too.

Today felt like one of those full-circle moments as I got to speak alongside someone I genuinely admire. I could listen to Amy speak for hours because every word comes from a place of conviction and heart.

Thank you, Ali Kochtanek, PCD | Infant + Toddler Sleep for bringing us together and for creating such a beautiful community through New Mom School St. Louis - West County it is always an honor to be part of it.

Here’s to building businesses rooted in purpose, genuine relationships, and making an impact that lasts.

I once heard the saying, “You haven’t truly lived until you’ve done something for someone who can never repay you.”

That’s what postpartum support means to me.

On Sunday, August 16th, from 10–11:30 a.m., I’ll be hosting my very first Essential Postpartum Workshop.

Truly, this is the workshop I wish I had before becoming a mother.

After years of in-home postpartum care and my own postpartum experiences, I started to see the same needs again and again. Families need honest conversations about what postpartum actually looks like.

They need to know how to ask for help, set boundaries, communicate what they actually need, nourish the mother, support the relationship, and build a village that supports the mother, the baby, and the entire family.

In this workshop, we’ll talk honestly about postpartum recovery, nutrition, newborn care, feeding, sleep, mental health, relationships, building your village, and the resources you may need along the way.

That is why I created the Essential Postpartum Workshop: not because you can control the postpartum period, but because you can definitely prepare for it.

If you’re expecting a baby, I’d love for you to join me in the room.

Visit the link in my bio to reserve your spot and learn more.

Let’s start preparing for the postpartum period with the same intention we use to prepare for birth.
