Although you’re holding so much, you also may be experiencing a constant pressure to do it “right,” feeling on the edge of burnout, guilt around taking time for yourself or maybe even confusion around who you are in this messy season.
It makes sense that you’re feeling this way.
Being a human—it’s unpredictable and has a way of not going according to plan. You’ve been thrown a curveball, finding yourself in a season of life that looks so different than you anticipated.

When you’re in this season you’re being bombarded by
Monumental shifts: navigating infertility, miscarriage, entering motherhood and adjusting to life postpartum. Is it postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, the baby blues? You wonder who you are now that you have added the role of “mom” to your list of titles.
Major loss, grief and change. Anticipated loss, sudden loss — it has thrown a rock through your living room window and turned everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) upside down.
Motherhood isn’t what you expected. Your feelings are complicated and complex. Life with this important role feels different than you thought it would. You’re grappling with intense emotion, comparison and deep desire to show up well.
