The holidays are over—and winter can feel extra heavy.

If things feel quieter or flatter right now, nothing is wrong with you.
You’re coming down from intensity.

Instead of pushing for motivation, try giving yourself one gentle thing each week to look forward to.

Warmth over productivity.
Comfort over pressure.

Winter is a pause, not a problem. 🌙

Hi, I’m Shelby 👋

I’m a counselor, a mom, a birth nerd, and someone who believes in slowing down to savor the little things—like coffee, water, and fresh-baked bread. My own experiences—becoming a mom, navigating my first birth trauma, and learning how to care for myself—have shaped how I hold space for others. I’m passionate about helping people feel confident in their birth and postpartum journeys, offering trauma-informed support, and creating community where parents can feel truly seen and supported. This is a little window into who I am and why I love the work I do.

Behind these numbers are real people and real stories.

This year held growth, deeper connection, and the launch of Motherhood Circle—a space made with care for moms to feel seen, supported, and less alone.
I’m ending the year deeply grateful and stepping into the next one excited to keep expanding meaningful support for pregnant and postpartum parents.

Here’s to another year full of meaningful moments, deep trust, and a very full heart. ❤️

Holiday mental load, but make it festive.

If the holidays feel a little heavier this year, you’re not alone.
Parenthood changes everything — your energy, your priorities, your capacity, and the way you move through this season.

And that’s okay.
You don’t owe anyone a version of yourself that doesn’t exist right now.
You don’t have to push through discomfort to keep the peace.
You don’t have to explain, justify, or convince anyone of what your baby needs — or what you need.

Whether you’re celebrating big, small, or from the comfort of your couch…
you’re allowed to create a holiday that feels gentle, doable, and aligned with your season of life.

Small, slow, and peaceful is still meaningful.
And it’s more than enough. ❤️

Making the magic shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process.
If the holiday load feels heavy, I’m here to help you carry it. ✨

You can love your baby deeply and still be healing from what happened.

Birth trauma isn’t erased by gratitude. It can live quietly in the background — in your body, your emotions, your memories.

And if thinking about having another baby brings up fear or sadness, that’s okay. You’re not broken. You’re human.

You deserve support, not silence. 💛

The holidays can feel magical… but also like a juggling act.
For mothers, the invisible work—planning meals, remembering schedules, keeping everyone happy—can feel heavier than ever.

This season, notice what you’re carrying and give yourself permission to share the load.

💡 Tip this week: Ask for help with one small task—maybe the grocery run, wrapping, or managing the kids’ schedule. Every bit counts!

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much moms carry the magic this time of year.
We bake the cookies, wrap the gifts, plan the gatherings, hold the emotions — all in the name of making it special for everyone we love.
And sometimes, that magic can feel really heavy.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing little reflections for moms as we move through the holiday season — things about boundaries, rest, and remembering that you deserve to feel the magic too.

For now, here’s a little peek into our own messy, flour-covered version of Christmas magic 🍪✨
