A summer baby who arrived five days past her due date. I had a 9–5 job, full-time childcare, and a calm, two-person household.  The second? A winter baby born six weeks early, 16 days in the NICU, a toddler at home, and a business I wasn’t taking much of a "maternity leave" from. What I’ve learned is this: the only way to be the mom you want to be is to make sure you’re supported, too. On a mission to rewrite the postpartum narrative for the collective I’m sharing my “secrets” to better sleep, sanity and self-identity in motherhood.
