Honest conversations about motherhood, identity, anxiety, and the in-between.
This blog is where I share what I have learned as a therapist and as a woman, what I know from research and clinical experience, and what I wish more women knew before they spent years thinking something was wrong with them.
You will find posts on matrescence and the identity shift of motherhood, pregnancy and postpartum anxiety, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and the quiet things that do not get talked about enough.
I write the way I talk, honestly, warmly, and without jargon. I hope something here makes you feel a little less alone.
With grace, Christina
You finally sit down, and ninety seconds later you're up again. Here's why rest feels so hard, and a few small ways back to it.
Anxiety can turn one vague email into a whole story before you finish reading it. Here's a simple check-in to sort what you know from what you're guessing.
If you end the day exhausted and can't quite say why, you're not lazy and you're not imagining it. What you're carrying has a name.
If you have felt lost, unlike yourself, or guilty for not loving every moment of motherhood, this is for you.
That might be a sign it is time to talk. I offer a free
15-minute consultation for women ready to take the next step.
