Help Us Rewrite Postpartum


The story we're told about postpartum is a fantasy.⁠ ⁠


Blissful bonding time, quiet snuggles, joyful parenthood. Sunlit swaying among the dust motes. A seaside picnic in the gentle breeze.


A golden transformation into motherhood.⁠ ⁠


The truth is messier.

It's physically painful.

It's an emotional upheaval.

It's the trigger point for a crisis of identity.⁠ ⁠

And it's all done without sleeping bathing or eating properly.


While you may get a few of those moments of bliss, they're sparse.


Hearing the fantasy while living the messy truth makes us feel alienated and alone.⁠ ⁠ It makes us feel like we're doing something wrong, like we don't deserve it. In the midst of the mess, it's a devastating contrast.


That doesn't mean it can't be beautiful. It's a profoundly difficult time, but it's a time of change, growth, and learning.


This month we will be gathering true stories of postpartum to share out so that none of us has to feel alone.⁠ ⁠ Help us rewrite postpartum by sharing your own story, from any time during post-baby parenthood.




We will be holding a giveaway during the month of July. Everyone who submits a postpartum story will be entered to win a set of our Dream State Lingerie or a Strong as a Mother Mug.⁠


Your stories will be featured on the blog and on Instagram. You can be anonymous if you prefer.


We can't wait to hear your stories!
