My passion is reading, and now I help parents transform their children from struggling and/or reluctant readers into more passionate and proficient readers.

I personally missed motherhood which is why, as a Motherhood Story Coach, I am creating a movement of conversation, education, and empowerment for women who are still on their way to motherhood. The status quo silence of our culture contributes to a mindset that we are just supposed to know how to become and be moms and that we have to do it alone. I consider this a mindset "virus" that stays with us at every stage of motherhood and feeds shame. 

When I talk with moms, I inevitably hear, "I wish I had had something like this when I was younger." I see your listeners as mothers of the younger generation who are desperately grasping to create their own motherhood lore and find models they can look to.

- There is very little dialogue about the journey TO motherhood until we have issues - the downstream effect

- The silence around this part of the journey leaves us feeling alone

- Let's shed the "one size fits all" mentality when it comes to our bodies and fertility

- Educating ourselves before our backs are up against the wall and emotions are high

- Creating a new motherhood lore

- We are humans first, then women, then mothers

I am a professionally trained coach. The movement I'm starting is known as Blow Up the Clock. Its intent is to bring awareness, clarity, consciousness, and an elevated conversation to women who are CONSIDERING motherhood. Not to moms, not to women who have missed motherhood, but to women CONSIDERING.

This movement can be distilled down to this simple invitation...Let's Talk About It! Because we don't.

That is why I create spaces of connection so that women can break the silence, shift their inner narrative, unlock their vision, and claim the beauty, freedom, authority, and power that is their birthright.

* At 38, I decided that having kids was more important to me than finding a partner.

* This started my journey of becoming a single mom by choice, using an anonymous sperm donor

* At 40, I gave birth to my daughter!

* Now, I am raising my 4-year-old, working full time, writing, and trying to find time for hobbies.

* A large part of my focus has been normalizing our mommy & kid family and making sure my daughter knows her origin story

IN HER WORDS: 

I am a web developer at Georgetown University and, as of recently, a children's author. I wrote my debut picture book, "Sweet Little You", after struggling to find a picture book that felt authentic to our mommy-plus-donor-conceived-kid family.

Today we took a deeper dive from our first interview and discussed faith, how God gets us through, helping others, the growing FB group and lots of insight on how we can help women more.

Three 2nd-trimester losses

Navigating blood clotting disorders and having an incompetent cervix

Scared to try again and worried as hell when I am pregnant

Sharing my story and how it helps me cope

I want anyone to feel safe and open to speak out about their loss. It's too common of a thing to lose a baby

Even as a pediatrician, I was completely overwhelmed when my daughter was born. I struggled with both the everyday chaos of being an exhausted new parent and some of the deeper pains of physical recovery and postpartum depression and anxiety.

At each turn, with each new challenge, I found myself unable to find a source of guidance and support that didn’t seem to make things more complicated or give me more anxiety. The official rules from my own pediatric organizations were scientific but often rigid and unrealistic. The online, unofficial guidance was easier to follow and designed to lessen new mom guilt, but as a pediatrician, I knew there was unsafe advice being doled out with the healthy dose of big-picture perspective. I needed a one-stop-shop source to give me realistic, scientific, safe, and pediatrician-approved information, and it didn’t exist.

So I decided to write it!
