Something we can never prepare ourselves for… the emotions of dropping our kids off at school simultaneously checking in with our parents at home. 🩷 When I visited New Hampshire this summer, I was overwhelmed with emotions— everything around us felt the same, but we were different. I can’t help but want time to slow down a little. 🙏🏼 While it’s hard, it’s such a blessing to witness our children and parents grow older.
Spend every moment you can together. And call whoever you can today and tell them you love them 🫶🏼
Shoutout to mom and dad! So excited for your new hip mama Jane!! We’ll celebrate soon 🥂
It’s #NationalBreastfeedingWeek and while many of us already know the benefits, we may not realize the privilege it is to be able to choose to breastfeed. When I rushed back to work with Isabelle, she stopped latching and it felt absolutely devastating. It was something I dreamt of being able to do for her. I had no idea that even leaving for a day would interfere with what I wanted to do as a mother. With our 2nd Colette, I made a lot of sacrifices to be able to breastfeed, but it still felt impossible to heal while keeping up with the mental load of work, stress, early calls, and being a mom of two.
Breastfeeding took me about 25-30 hrs a week (which is the average). A study shared breastfeeding can take up more time than most full-time jobs. This is why Paid Leave is so important for mothers at home, so we can heal post birth, take care of our children, make choices like breastfeeding and rest after intense sleepless nights.
There are over 3 million births every year in the US, but our country is 1 of only 6 in the entire world that doesn’t offer paid leave. This impacts families and women—disproportionately women of color, women in low-income jobs, and women in service domestic industries—the most. In 2019, only 19% of workers in the US had access to paid family leave from their employers. On top of that, if these women cannot breastfeed, they are left with no choice but to purchase formula which can be really expensive… and more recently, not always reliable. Tack this onto childcare costs.
1 in 4 women in the US returns to work within just 2 weeks of giving birth, because she has no other choice. Companies promise jobs if you return, but that is just after 12 weeks and in many cases, you’re not getting paid. Only 8 states offer paid leave policies and in many cases, we can’t get approved for it. It feels like it’s not only impossible to be a mother, but to also be a working mother.

One of the most requested podcast episodes is out… our full fertility journey. We recorded this episode over a year ago… and we explain in the intro why it took us so long to release it. 🤍 Comment the world HOPE below and I’ll DM you the link to the episode right away 🙏🏼
While we want to hold a lot of these experiences sacred, we hope by opening up it will help someone or a couple out there not feel so alone in their journey. Brian and I talk through our fertility struggles, loss, trauma, pain… and what it was like for him while I was physically experiencing our loss. A lot of times our partners feel like they need to be the strong one… but we’re experiencing it together. He shares a story of our neighbor Peggy finding him crying while walking our dog. 😭 I’ll never forget her telling me and how he was holding in his feelings while I was recovering from our miscarriage.
We hope by sharing our full story you can find some hope and peace… and if you’re experiencing loss or infertility right now, our hearts are with you— you are never alone. Thank you for being on this journey with us. Your prayers, messages, and support over the years has meant the world to us and we are forever grateful for you 🤍
