Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Nancy, mom of two, maternal health advocate, and someone who spent way too much of early motherhood wondering: “Why isn’t anyone talking about how hard this really is?"

And eventually: “Wait…it’s not me. It’s the system that’s broken.”

This newsletter is for moms navigating the mess in real time. And for anyone done accepting the status quo.

What you’ll get.

  • Real talk—what was hard for me and what helped.

  • Resources I’d send to a friend.

  • Ideas for reducing unnecessary pain and suffering—for you and the next mom.

  • A call to action (because nothing changes if we don’t speak up).

When you’ll hear from me.

When I have something worth your time – like a resource that made me feel whole again, a story I can’t stop thinking about, or a reminder that it’s not just you.

If you’re ever looking for more, visit my website below.

My website


I believe real support should be accessible to every new mom, so everything here is free to read. If you’d like to support my work (or just say ‘keep going!’), you can become a paid subscriber or gift a subscription.

Thanks for being here. Whether you’re living this, showing up for someone who is, or building care that truly cares for new moms. We need more of that.
