Skip the Baby Shower

Tangible ways to protect yourself after pregnancy loss or infertility

After a loss, the world doesn't stop just because your’s does. Baby showers get scheduled. Birth announcements land in your inbox. The holidays come whether you are ready or not. And people who love you often say nothing, or say the wrong thing, or quietly expect you to keep showing up.

A Mindful Moment: Practice with Slack

For years, I told new moms the same thing: give yourself grace. And I meant it. But after my second child was born, I realized how hollow that can sound when you are in the thick of it. When the anxiety is loud and the guilt is louder. When the symptoms feel so much like you that you can't find the edges of where they end.

Grace felt out of reach. So I started reaching for something smaller. Something more honest: Slack.

What Does It Mean to Nurture?

There’s a dichotomy in maternal nurturing. Mothers are often incredible nurturers; they are attuned, selfless and often intuitive to their baby’s needs. Research shows that nurturing is deeply wired into the maternal brain. When a mother hears her baby cry there’s a hormonally-driven neural response that triggers the release of oxytocin and lights up regions of the brain tied to empathy and caregiving. This biological response explains why mothers are so acutely skilled at nurturing others, and perhaps the reason they stop nurturing themselves.

'Tis the Season for Stress: Transform Stressed to Blessed This Holiday Season

There's an invisible workload that falls disproportionately on mothers during the holidays. You're often the one coordinating schedules, preparing meals, buying gifts, managing family dynamics, and trying to make the season magical, all while likely still doing your regular job and parenting duties. The emotional labor alone makes the most wonderful time of year feel not-so-wonderful. It's the perfect winter storm for burnout.
