Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Beyond
Beyond the invisible load
Motherhood is often portrayed as joyful and fulfilling—but the reality can be very different. Whether you’re preparing for a baby, adjusting to postpartum life, or managing the daily demands of parenting, it can feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself in the process.
The perinatal period—pregnancy, birth, and the months that follow—brings unique challenges. Many women silently struggle with anxiety, mood changes, or the weight of unrealistic expectations.
Add to that the invisible load of remembering everything for everyone, soothing meltdowns, and holding the household together, and it can feel impossible to come up for air.
