Motherhood really is a haunted house. It’s full of weird noises, mysterious stains, and occasional existential dread, but also laughter that echoes through every room.

You’re doing better than you think. 🫶🏼

🛑 You don’t have to earn rest, help, or healing.

You don’t have to wait until you’re “burned out enough” to deserve support. You’re enough right now.

🎭 Smiling. Joking. Showing up. And still not okay.

High-functioning doesn’t mean healthy.

Anxiety doesn’t just live in the mind. It shows up in the body too.

Heart racing, sweaty palms, constant worry—you’re not alone. 💓

Not a Pinterest mom. Not a polished mom.

Just you, showing up the best you can—that’s more than enough.

It's time for another #SundaySpotlight, and this week we're bringing the magic of Disney with Jordan O'Brien.

She's a therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health & play therapy. She's also a Disney lover, so she gets bonus points from us 😉

Feeling touched-out doesn’t mean you don’t care.

It means your nervous system needs space. ✋

Every ‘should’ you hear—about your body, your feelings, your home—is usually someone else’s projection, not your truth.

What’s one ‘should’ you’re releasing this week?

In Scandinavian countries, generous paid leave and prioritized postpartum care mean lower rates of postpartum depression.

Support works. Investment in new parents works. This isn’t a mystery—it’s a matter of priorities.

My toddler gave up naps, caught a cold, and started preschool—all in one week.

Postpartum brain is like a haunted house that runs on caffeine and emotions. One minute you’re crying over baby socks, the next you’re googling “how to sleep forever but not die.”

You’re not haunted, you’re healing. 🫶🏼

The most underpaid, overworked role — fueled by love (and coffee). ☕💛

Postpartum OCD is more common than you think.

Intrusive thoughts ≠ danger—they're a sign that you need care.

This guest's story is proof: You're not alone.

🐢 Healing is allowed to be slow.

There’s no deadline to feel better. No shame in still struggling. No shame in surviving however you need to.

Healing isn’t linear, it’s human.

📸 “We’re not the same. Neither is our relationship. And that’s been hard to admit.”

Becoming parents shifts everything — even love. It’s okay to grieve the carefree connection you once had.

This doesn’t mean it’s broken, it just means it’s changing.
