There’s a version of motherhood no one really prepares you for—the kind where you’re never alone, but still feel deeply by yourself.
If you know, you know.

Bare minimum effort isn’t partnership.

You’re not asking for too much—
you’re asking them to show up.

And that’s not unreasonable.

They run to us. We hold everything.

And sometimes… we need a place where we get held too.

I started a small motherhood circle for exactly that—connection, support, and space to breathe in the middle of it all 🌿

✨ This weekend | Saturday the 18th | 9:30–11:00 AM

DM me if you want details or feel like this might be for you.

You’re not “too much.”
You’re just carrying too much.

A lot of moms don’t actually need more help—
they need less responsibility for holding everything together.

There’s a difference between helping and sharing the load.
And that difference? It’s the mental load.

If this hit, you’re not alone 🤍

One thing I hear from postpartum moms all the time:

“Sorry if this is TMI…”

But postpartum life isn’t neat or tidy. It includes things like healing bodies, s*x after birth, intrusive thoughts, relationship stress, and figuring out who you are now.

Your therapy space should be able to hold all of that.

No censoring required.

Motherhood Circle: Bloom Where You Are Planted 🌿

April 18 | 9:30–11:00am

Motherhood can feel isolating — even when we’re never alone.

This circle is a space to come as you are, connect with other moms, and leave feeling a little more grounded and supported.

Little ones are always welcome.

Every day I sit with mothers who believe they are the problem.

But what I see are women trying to survive impossible standards with invisible support.

The problem was never them.

It was never supposed to be this hard to be human and a mother at the same time.

I feel so honored to be featured in this article and to share a little more about the heart behind my work. Supporting mothers through pregnancy, postpartum, and all the in-between moments is something I care deeply about.
Grateful to be part of conversations that remind parents they are seen, supported, and never alone. 🤍

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelby Reece. Hi Shelby, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?While I had always been drawn to supporting women, it wasn’t until after the birth of my first son that my work took on a deeper clarity and purpose. […]

“At least the baby was healthy.”

That’s the minimum.

The bar should be higher than “nothing catastrophic happened.”

Mothers deserve respect, informed consent, emotional safety, and real mental health support.

Healthy baby.
Supported mother.

Both are the goal.

We can celebrate positive outcomes without lowering the standard of care for women. Maternal wellbeing isn’t a bonus feature — it’s part of quality care.

The bar can be higher.

Motherhood wasn’t meant to be a solo act. 🤍

But so many women are doing it without a village.
Without consistent help.
Without someone noticing how tired they are.

If you’re overwhelmed, irritable, lonely, or stretched thin —
that’s not a personal failure.

That’s what happens when one nervous system is carrying too much.

You deserve support.
Not because you’re falling apart.
But because you’re human. 🌙

If you don’t have a village yet, you’re allowed to build one. And you don’t have to start alone.

Motherhood isn’t a straight line — it’s messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of growth. 🌙
Some days you’re thriving. Some days you’re just surviving. And that’s okay.

Take a deep breath. You are allowed to rest, to feel, to ask for support. You don’t have to carry it alone. 🤍

You can love what your body did
and still mourn how it looks now.
Some days that grief is loud.
Some days you are learning to meet it with care.
Both truths belong here.
Your body’s story matters. 💛
