Whether you’re expecting, newly postpartum, or months (or even years) into parenting, this time of life can bring deep joy, profound change, and also a whole bunch of shit. And no one is really talking about the latter. 

You’re probably burned out and exhausted – from carrying the mental load, having do it all perfectly, without the option to fail or fall apart. 

Common Experiences Supported

• Making the decision to (or not to!) have (a) child(ren)
• Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about impending parenthood
• Prenatal depression or anxiety that “shouldn’t” happen while expecting
• Difficulty bonding with your baby, or fear you won’t bond the way you imagined
• Feelings of guilt, shame, or not “doing it right” after birth
• Postpartum depression, anxiety, mood swings, and maybe even rage
• Trouble adjusting to changes in your relationships, roles, identity, or body
• Grief or loss (of hopes, birth outcome, previous pregnancy, fertility journeys)
• Sleep disruption, exhaustion, or difficulty regulating emotions
• Pressure to “do everything right,” perfectionism, and fear of failure
• Shutting down, feeling numb, and/or going through the motions
• Fear of disappointing yourself and others

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

If you’re ready to stop holding it all in, take the first step and reach out; taking action can help you feel better and more hopeful.

You’ve taken care of everyone else—now it’s time to take care of you— without the guilt.
