Your Mental Health Matters. Get Started with 5 Free Classes.

You didn’t just have a baby; you became a family of 3. In this class, learn why it can feel like you are having a completely separate experience from your partner, despite living in the same house, and how you can take small but meaningful steps to reconnect on an emotional and physical level.

Guilt is pervasive in parenthood. Full-time, part-time & stay-at-home parents all feel it. Why? Because we have come to believe we can (and should!) “have it all,” and when we can’t, we feel like we are failing. In this class, the myths of “having it all” and “work-life balance” are broken down. Walk away with a new framework to work with, one that will help you shine light on what’s really important, effectively set boundaries, and feel more confident in your choices as parents.

Parenthood changes everything, including your sense & understanding of yourself. In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear people describe their lives before and after baby as “the old me” vs “the new me.” Learn about the momentous identity shift that occurs after parenthood, and how to navigate the tricky emotions & social pressures that come with it. Walk away with real, tangible ways you can begin to incorporate “old” and “new” together, so all parts of your self can exist in harmony.

While you are reading this, you may also be thinking about the diapers that need reordering, the onesies that need to be upped a size, or the lunches that need to be packed. And that racing, endless, invisible checklist that’s going in the back of your mind? That’s called the mental load. In this class, we dive deep into the mental load, explaining why it happens, how it evolves, and how you and your partner can come together to manage it.

“Imagine if you started a new job. You’re not going to know everything you need to know to do the job well. It’s going to take time for you to feel confident and comfortable. New parenting, it’s the same thing.” — Divya Kumar, LCSW, Perinatal Psychotherapist. As much as we talk about preparing your body for the act of labor and birth, little is done to help parents prepare for the mental and emotional changes that new parenthood brings. Here, we talk about how to navigate that often startling shift in identity, as well as how to navigate your postpartum relationship, and when and how to seek help if you are struggling.
