Reviews matter more than you think they do. How many of us read reviews before we invest in something? Reviews are one of the best ways to get this resource into the hands of parents who need the information and support. Thank you to everyone who understands how important this little book is and what it means - especially to parents who are struggling and lacking in resources and who believe they are the only ones thinking and feeling this way!

Research supports our S.E.L.F. model: Rest, (Sleep), movement (Exercise), nourishment (Food), and restorative pleasure (Laughter/leisure) all play a critical role in postpartum brain health and emotional well-being.

💜Better sleep is tied to lower postpartum depression/anxiety

💜Postpartum exercise is linked with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms.

💜Adherence to a brain-healthy eating pattern is associated with lower odds of postpartum depressive symptoms
