Almost two years ago, on November 1, 2024, I share

Almost two years ago, on November 1, 2024, I shared this reel asking us to reconsider the story of La Llorona.

At the time, I wondered whether she might have been experiencing postpartum depression. Revisiting it now, as the Lindsay Clancy trial brings postpartum psychosis into the headlines, I find myself asking a deeper question:

What if La Llorona had been experiencing postpartum psychosis?

We cannot diagnose a woman from folklore. And for generations, we have turned complicated stories of maternal suffering into simple stories about “bad mothers.”

When condemnation becomes the entire story, we stop asking what may have been happening before the tragedy:

Was she losing touch with reality?
Did anyone recognize that she was severely unwell?
Was she supported and connected with appropriate care?
What opportunities for intervention were missed?

Postpartum psychosis is rare, and it is a psychiatric emergency. A mother experiencing it may not recognize what is happening or be able to advocate for herself. Partners, families, friends, and healthcare providers must recognize significant changes, take them seriously, and act.

An undersupported mother is not automatically experiencing mental illness, and postpartum depression does not make a mother dangerous. And when a mother is severely unwell, isolation, dismissal, and fragmented care can leave both her and her children more vulnerable.

What if La Llorona’s story is not about a bad mother at all, but about how quickly we judge a mother without knowing what she was experiencing or what support she had? What if her story reminds us to seek context, recognize severe maternal mental illness, take a mother’s distress seriously, and prioritize the safety of both mother and child?

Maybe her cries can remind us to listen sooner.

Maternal mental health care must be about recognition, intervention, and safety—not blame. 🫶🏽

Share this so the conversation continues after it leaves the headlines. Let’s rewrite the stories.

We tell mothers all the time, “It takes a village.

We tell mothers all the time, “It takes a village.”

But being the village requires more than showing up after the baby arrives.

It means noticing when something feels different.
Getting curious instead of critical.
Talking TO her, not ABOUT her.
Prioritizing safety, not blame.
And helping her access care when she may not be able to recognize that she needs it.

The conversation around postpartum psychosis is bigger than any one case. It’s a reminder that mental health literacy belongs to all of us.

We don’t have to diagnose the people we love. But we should know them well enough to notice when something has changed—and care enough to take it seriously.

If we’re going to tell mothers it takes a village, we have a responsibility to be better villagers. 🤍

Save this. Share it with your village.

This weekend reminded me that sometimes, the mother needs to be mothered too. 🤎

I traveled to California to celebrate my friend Daphne Delvaux, @themamattorney, as she closed out her book tour—and to honor the work she has poured into mothering mothers.

Daphne has given mothers something incredibly powerful: language.

The language to understand our rights.
The courage to advocate for ourselves.
The knowledge to recognize when something isn’t right.
And the reminder that we are worthy of being protected, supported, and cared for, too.

Through The Motherland, a space she created for mothers and women in business, Daphne also brought together a group of women who, somewhere along the way, became part of my village.

A year ago, many of us were building relationships through screens. This weekend, we finally got to share physical space together. A few of our women were missing, and we absolutely felt their absence.

Because these women are my village.

Motherhood has taught me that our village doesn’t always look the way we were told it would.

Sometimes it’s family.
Sometimes it’s the professionals who care for us.
Sometimes it’s friends who intentionally choose to remain in our lives.
And sometimes it’s the people who walk into our lives and say, “I want to walk alongside you.”

This weekend was also something I didn’t realize how deeply I needed: a mom’s trip with no children in tow. ✈️

Not because I needed to escape motherhood, but because I needed space to return to myself within it.

With so much love and intention, we honored ourselves as mothers. We honored our bodies. We honored our labor—the visible labor and the labor no one sees.

We celebrated what our bodies have carried.
What our minds have held.
What our hearts have survived.
What our hands continue to build.

And we made space to simply be women together.

Motherhood was never meant to be carried alone.

Sometimes mothering the mother looks like therapy.
Sometimes it looks like advocacy.
Sometimes it looks like someone teaching you your rights.
Sometimes it looks like friendship, community, laughter, rest, and a plane ticket to California. 🩵

Mothers deserve a village, too.

Not only so we ca

There is something incredibly special about seeing

There is something incredibly special about seeing a dream you’ve carried in your heart become something you can finally hold in your hands. 🤍

Today I had the privilege of participating in the @latchonsatx event here in San Antonio, surrounded by an inspiring community of perinatal professionals who are deeply committed to caring for mothers, babies, and families.

Today also marked another meaningful milestone for nurtuHER—the very first debut of The nurtuHER Collection.

As mothers stopped by to read the affirmations, share their stories, and find themselves reflected in these pieces, I was reminded why this collection exists.

The nurtuHER Collection was created to offer more than something beautiful to wear or hold. Each piece is designed to be a gentle reminder that you matter, your wellbeing matters, and you deserve to be replenished—not just for your family, but for yourself.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, offered encouragement, and supported this new chapter. Your kindness made today even more meaningful.

If you weren’t able to make it, don’t worry…

The nurtuHER Collection will be launching online soon, and I can’t wait to share it with mothers everywhere. 🤍
