Maybe postpartum hasn’t looked the way you expected it to.

You can love being a mom and still admit that this season has been harder than you expected.

Maybe you feel more anxious, overwhelmed or overstimulated than you used to.

Maybe you miss parts of who you were before becoming a mom.

Maybe you’re surrounded by people who love you, but still feel strangely alone in what you’re carrying.

Or maybe nothing feels terribly wrong — you just wish you had somewhere to talk honestly about how you’re really doing with other moms who get it.

You weren’t meant to figure all of this out by yourself.

As a therapist and as a mom myself, I know just how hard postpartum can be. It is one of the most vulnerable and least understood seasons of a woman’s life.

Known Motherhood was created so that you can feel known, supported, and genuinely connected through your postpartum season.

What is Known Motherhood?

Known Motherhood is a six-week virtual postpartum support group where you can talk honestly with other moms who are in the same season.

Each week, the group meets live for one hour and follows a consistent rhythm: a short therapist-led teaching, guided group discussion, and time to connect with the other moms. The teaching gives us a starting point, with plenty of space to share what you’re experiencing, hear from other moms, ask questions, and feel supported.

The conversation and connection between the moms is the heart of the group.

Topics Include:

Week 1: Postpartum Mental Health

We’ll talk about the emotional and mental changes that can come with postpartum, including what can be expected during this transition and when symptoms may be a sign that additional support is needed. We’ll also talk about common experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety and how to recognize when you might need more than a support group.

Week 2: Managing the Mental Load

There is so much to keep track of after having a baby—and much of it is invisible. We’ll talk about the mental load of motherhood, why it can feel so overwhelming, and ways to communicate what you need and share the load with the people around you.

Week 3: Caring for Yourself, Too

When so much of your time and attention goes toward caring for your baby and family, it can be difficult to figure out where you fit. We’ll talk about what caring for yourself can realistically look like in postpartum without turning it into another thing you have to do perfectly.

Week 4: Faith in Postpartum

Postpartum can affect your relationship with the Lord in ways you may not have expected. We’ll make space to talk about faith in this season—including when you feel close to Him, when you don’t, and how your relationship with Jesus can be a source of support as you adjust to motherhood.

Week 5: Marriage After Baby

Adding a baby changes a marriage. We’ll talk about some of the common challenges couples experience postpartum, including communication, connection, expectations, division of responsibilities, and adjusting to your relationship in this new season.

Week 6: Adjusting to Your New Normal

Motherhood requires a lot of adapting—and sometimes letting go of what you thought this season would look like. We’ll talk about accepting help, adjusting expectations, letting go of perfection, and learning how to be present in the season you’re actually in.

Known Motherhood is faith-rooted and clinically informed. Conversations about spiritual health and The Lord are welcome alongside professional guidance about the emotional and relational experiences that can come with postpartum.

This isn’t group therapy, and you don’t need to be in crisis or have a diagnosis to belong here. Simply not wanting to do postpartum alone is enough to belong.

With only eight moms in the group, there’s room to actually get to know one another over the six weeks rather than feeling like another face on a screen.

There’s nothing to prepare before you come. Just show up.

What does it look like to be a part of Known Motherhood?

No. Known Motherhood is a therapist-led support group, not group therapy. It is designed to complement, not replace, individual therapy when therapy is needed.
No. You do not need to be in therapy, have a diagnosis, or be in crisis to participate.
We expect it! Feed, rock, bounce, or step away for a moment when you need to. Postpartum life is welcome here.

Your registration includes all six meetings, and consistent attendance will help you get the most out of the group. Of course, we know life with a baby can be unpredictable.
That’s completely okay. The group is limited to eight moms, and each conversation is guided so you won’t be expected to figure out how to jump in on your own.
Everyone is asked to respect the privacy of the other moms and keep what is shared within the group confidential.
You’ll receive an email with everything you need to know before our first meeting, including how to join us online.
