I see you! Whether you're just starting to think about having a family, knee-deep in fertility treatments, reading this in your favorite chair while your baby naps (for exactly 12 minutes), or bleary-eyed at 3 a.m., I’m glad you’re here.

Like you, I’ve felt the highs and lows of this journey, the hope, the heartbreak, the “why did I do this to myself?” moments. I’ve walked my own path through infertility treatments and motherhood. I have supported countless women navigating infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum life. You know, that magical time people romanticize as “the best days of your life”? Spoiler alert: It’s also a time when I found myself crying for no apparent reason.

Here’s the thing: Nothing!!!! prepared me for the sheer intensity of it all. The anxiety that crept in, the overwhelming sense of “Am I even doing this right?”, and the isolation that made me feel like I was on a deserted island.

Like so many of you, I assumed I could “push through” because, well, that’s what moms are supposed to do, right? We’re told to savor every moment and be grateful even when we haven’t slept in 48 hours, our hormones are doing the cha-cha, and we’re pretty sure our baby is plotting to skip every nap forever.

But here’s what I want you to know: It’s okay to admit this is hard. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to ask for help. And most importantly you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
