  • To the mama setting out your work clothes while staring at tomorrow's daycare outfit - I see you.That knot in your stomach? The one that shows up every Sunday night? I know that feeling.The way you count down the hours of maternity leave, memorize every little coo, try to store up enough cuddles to last through a work day.No one talks about: The way your heart physically aches Hiding pump parts in your meeting notes Missing their morning smiles Racing through traffic for pickup The guilt when you actually enjoy adult conversation How bittersweet success feels nowBut here's what I want you to remember: Your baby won't love you any less. Your worth isn't measured in hours at home. Your career goals don't make you selfish. Your struggles are valid. Your feelings are normal. You're still an amazing mom.To the mama heading back tomorrow: You can do this. Your baby will be okay. And it's perfectly fine if you're not okay right now. ❤️Drop a 💼 if you need my complete guide to transitioning back to work (without losing your mind or your milk supply).#BackToWork #WorkingMom #PostpartumTransition #workingmom #backtowork #motherhood #normalizebreastfeeding #pumpingmom #workingmomlife
  • To the mama finding hair everywhere but on your head... I see you. 🤍That moment when you realize your luxurious pregnancy hair was just your hormones playing the long game? Yeah, let's talk about it. Because finding hair on your pillow, in your baby's tiny fists, and clogging every drain in sight isn't exactly what you signed up for.The science behind the shedding: Your hair stayed in the growth phase during pregnancy (hello, gorgeous locks!). Now? Those same hormones that gave you that pregnancy glow are dropping, and your hair is playing catch-up.Translation: completely normal, totally temporary, but still totally overwhelming.Some real talk tips that actually help: Switch to a silk pillowcase (less friction = less shedding) Rock protective hairstyles (loose buns > tight ponytails) Load up on nutrient-rich foods (your body's still healing!) Try a postpartum-safe hair supplement (check with your provider) Embrace dry shampoo for in-between days Consider a shorter cut (bonus: less hair for baby to grab!)Remember: This phase? It's temporary. Most mamas see regrowth around 6-12 months postpartum.Those cute baby hairs making your edges look like a chia pet? They're signs of healing and new growth.Drop a 🦁 if you're in the thick of the postpartum shed or a 🌱 if you're seeing those beautiful baby hairs sprouting!#postpartumhairloss #postpartumjourney #newmomlife #normalizepostpartum #postpartumrecovery #momhacks #postpartumproblems

Intimacy after baby: it's not just about sex. Let's normalize this conversation because no one told me that postpartum intimacy would mean redefining everything I thought I knew about the connection with my husband. 🤍That magical "6-week clearance" appointment? It's not a switch that makes everything go back to normal. And guess what? That's totally okay.Real intimacy after baby looks like this: Shoulder rubs while warming bottles 30-second hugs between diaper changes Hand-holding during midnight feeds Inside jokes about baby blowouts Bringing each other water Tag-team naps "I see you" moments Actually just Netflix and chill (like, literally sleeping)Because here's the truth: intimacy isn't just about what happens in the bedroom. It's about feeling seen, supported, and connected during one of life's biggest transitions.Remember: Your body is healing Your hormones are adjusting Your relationship is evolving Your priorities have shifted And all of this is perfectly normalDrop a 🫂 if you needed this reminder that you're exactly where you need to be in your journey.#PostpartumIntimacy #NewParentRelationship #PostpartumSex #postpartumjourney #relationshipgoals #fourthtrimester #momthings

Can we talk about that well-meaning advice to "find yourself again" after baby?Here's the thing - you're not lost. You're evolving.That woman you were before? She was amazing. She got you here. But trying to squeeze back into her life is like trying to fold a butterfly back into its cocoon.Motherhood doesn't just change you - it transforms you. And that transformation? It's not about loss. It's about expansion.You're not: Less than before Just "mom" now Losing your identity Going backwardYou're: Adding new layers Growing in wisdom Gaining perspective Moving forwardThe truth is, you'll never be the same. Your heart has expanded, your priorities have shifted, and your capacity for love has multiplied. That's not something to mourn - it's something to celebrate.Drop a 🦋 if you're ready to stop searching for your "old self" and start embracing who you're becoming.#motherhoodtransformation #postpartumjourney #maternalevolution #newmomlife #motherhoodunfiltered #morethanamom #matrescence
