I'll never forget the day I brought my daughter home. I was super excited, super scared and really overwhelmed all at once. As the hours went by and the days started melding together, I struggled to get sleep, to feed her and to take care of myself. I felt so alone in the world and unsure of how to navigate this whole new season of my life. If I had only known then about Postapartum Doulas and all the support they can offer, things might have been different. That's why, even though I love...

This Facebook Live with Jessica Larson of Mama-Be Self Care was recorded during the lockdown at the beginning of COVID but the insight we share about connecting with our kids applies no matter what season we are in. I have always seen parenting as a relationship, not a strategy. That's why I don't practice or preach any particular parenting style. Each of us, as Moms, is different and each of our children is different. In my opinion, being  successful as a parent means understanding your...

The truth of matrescence, or the transition to motherhood, is that it's messy. It's overwhelming.

I came across the words of Iain S Thomas and it struck a chord. Here is what he wrote: Before your children came, they were told you would love them. So whatever you do, however you treat them, to them, it is love. If you are cruel to them, they will think it is love. If you yell at them, they will think it is love. If you ignore them, they will think it is love. If you walk away from them, they will think it is love.  And if you are kind to them, they will think it is love. And if you are...

Last week a founding member of the Happy Mama Wellness Community and amazing Mama reached out to me over a DM. She wrote: "So this Mama needs some advice. My daughter is 2.5 (will be 3 in Auguust) and holy tantrums lately. It always seems to be over the littlest things like the wrong water cup, making her wash the soap off her hands or wiping after going to the bathroom. I've tried time-outs, gentle talking, preparing her like 'Ok Mommy is going to get water and you will get whatever cup I...
