“Here’s the thing, I’m not hating on anyone who decides that homeschooling, Catholicism, or being a stay-at-home-mom is their path. What I’m hating on is how so many people, women included, impose on other women how they’re supposed to live. It’s like there’s only one good way to mother and everything else falls in the “not good enough” category.” 

-Mia Hemstad

Mia Hemstad is a mom of two little kids, a full-time paid family leave advocate, mental health advocate, and self-care coach. She began creating content online because in 2013 she was facing a mental health crisis, and had no idea who or where to turn to for support as mental illness was never discussed in her family, so she decided to be a voice in this space by sharing her own experiences of overcoming Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety, as well as living with diagnosed PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
