Maybe it’s my luteal hormones.
Maybe it’s the weather.
Maybe Thanksgiving makes me reflective.
But there’s a part of mothering no one talks about—the part that leaves you aching and overflowing all at once. After all the the wedding dust has settled, there is another layer of surrender.
It’s when you’re sorting laundry and a lump rises in your throat because her clothes aren’t in the pile anymore. It’s her specific little messes that don’t happen now, her scent fading from the hall, the quiet of her empty room… her presence. No one tells you that all the other kids will have to adjust too.
How is it possible to watch your prayers for them unfold right in front of you—answered, beautiful, everything you hoped for—and still feel an ache because a whole era has ended? They leave home, and that’s exactly what you raised them to do. And, it makes you so happy. And, it brings grief.
To be a mother is to be human.
Rest inside the tenderness of it.
Enjoy the gift of it.
Happy Thanks giving.🤎

I know I say this all the time, but it’s true—one of the greatest gifts of this work is the people I get to meet along the way.
I met Kayla through a family we both cared for, and after sitting down for coffee, I left feeling like I have found a new friend… one of my people.
I am forever grateful for the connections this work continues to bring into my life. 🫶🏻

I’ve learned that strength has many different faces. After this postpartum visit, I had one word on repeat….serenity.
When I got home, I looked up its meaning:
Inner peace — a deep sense of well-being that comes from within, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
When birth unfolds differently than imagined, when birth plans are thrown out the window and surrender is the only way forward… this kind of strength is rare. It’s the calm that reminds us God is still good and we are still held, even though…
Happy due date day, baby Charlie.
thank you for showing what serenity looks like—thankful, hopeful , and full of peace.

Sometimes I’ll be walking through the grocery store and catch a glimpse of a little face that feels familiar.
Sometimes I see kids riding their bikes past my house, and I remember the moment they took their first breath.
Sometimes one of “my babies” goes to the same baby shower, and I lean over to my family and whisper, “Look… that’s one of my babies.”

if I’ve been at your birth—you’ve left a mark on my heart. you will always be a part of me.

This work has brought me into the sacred space where birth happens. mom and dad meet baby. family bonds form. love connects. again and again.
And every single time, I’m in awe.
What an honor. What a gift. 🫶🏻

You have the remedy. You made the remedy. It’s provided for you. I’m continually inspired by this generation of women rising up to use what God designed for postpartum recovery.🫶🏻

this is so much more than words. receiving these messages over and over has caused me to realize this is a rising…this is a generation of women waking up to the fact that postpartum needs to be in the plan just as much as pregnancy and birth. what an honor to be able to help by providing the tool of encapsulation.
