I'm a mom with degrees in Psychology and Neuroscience from Harvard and Education from Boston College. As a former teacher, I was shocked at how unprepared and overwhelmed I felt going into motherhood, despite my background in child development. The conflicting advice and pressure to be perfect got to me.
I needed a pregnancy book focused on what actually matters, not every possible what-if. What do they really mean when they say "no sleep"? How do I change a diaper? How do my partner and I stay solid? What do I need financially? Do I need to stress about colic before my baby's even born? Nope.
So I wrote the book and within a month, it hit the top of the charts. But I wanted to make it even more helpful for overwhelmed new parents and so we created our personalized guides.
I'm not a doctor or sleep consultant, and I don't pretend to be. I'm just a mom who's been through it, giving you the shame-free, honest support you actually need to feel confident.
Most parenting resources try to tell you everything that could possibly happen (even if most of it won’t). We find that tends to add stress more than it helps. We’ll tell you how to get through one of the biggest unknown times in your life with only the things you need for that window. That's it. Once you get your bearings, you can layer in other resources, but when it’s all new… too much information can be more harmful than helpful.
Also: No judgment. No toxic positivity. No pretending this is all magical.
Yes, based on your due date we will accelerate the timeline of emails so that you are caught up with all the information you may have missed if you had signed up right away.
Yes, we understand that things happen, you can pause or opt out no questions asked at any point. Subscriptions are non-refundable after the first 30 days, but we will allow you to rejoin at any point in the future.
The series is a one time fee. While, it feels like a subscription, the one-time price gets you access to all resources for pregnancy and the first two months with your baby.
Reading a book is a time commitment, and you often only need a fraction of it at the time you are reading. Exhaustion and stress often mean you won’t even remember the concepts when you actually need them. That is why we created an email series.
Think of it like a book that is delivered slowly at the exact moment where you need to know the information. Over the course of your subscription, we will send you around 50 emails, but don’t worry, all of them will be high value and tailored to your specific due date.
The book and email series cover a lot of the same core information—what you need to know to survive pregnancy and the first eight weeks—but they're designed for different purposes.
The email series is personalized to your role (pregnant person or non-pregnant partner) and synced to your due date. You get the right information at exactly the right time in your journey, so you're not overwhelmed with everything at once. It's like having a guide walking alongside you, telling you what matters this week.
The book gives you all the information upfront in one place. It's perfect if you're someone who likes to read ahead, preview what's coming, or have a physical reference you can flip back to when you need a quick answer at 2 AM. Many people find it helpful to have both—the emails for timely guidance and the book as their go-to resource.
Bottom line: If you like having information at your fingertips or prefer to read material more than once, get the book. If you want just-in-time guidance tailored to your specific role and timeline, the email series is your best bet. And if you want both? Even better.
Mostly, yes. If this is your second or third baby, you already know you can figure things out. But people have found that the book is a good refresher since so much of those first few months becomes a blur once you get out of them.
The information is still useful for perspective and for partners who are catching up. But honestly? If you survived the first 8 weeks, you've proven you can figure things out. The email newsletter might be more useful for ongoing conversation prompts with your partner. If you need a resource to refer back to, or to catch up with, you can order the book.
About This Series:
If you're the one carrying this baby, this series is your no-BS survival guide through nine overwhelming months. While everyone bombards you with advice about nursery themes and must-have products, these emails cut through the noise and tell you what actually matters. You'll get week-by-week guidance that meets you exactly where you are—from managing first trimester nausea to understanding when you actually need to think about registries (spoiler: not at 12 weeks). This isn't about creating the perfect Pinterest-worthy pregnancy; it's about protecting your mental health, preparing your body with real tools like pelvic floor PT, and learning to trust yourself over the consumer trap. This is the wise, honest friend who hands you the cheat sheet and reminds you that you're going to figure this out.
About This Series:
Becoming a parent changes your life just as much as your pregnant partner's, but somehow everyone assumes you'll just figure it out on your own. While your partner gets flooded with pregnancy apps and appointments, you're expected to be supportive and prepared—all while processing that you're about to become a parent too. This email series is specifically for you, treating you like the co-parent you are from day one, not a helper or babysitter. You'll learn what your partner is actually experiencing week by week, how to show up without losing yourself, and what practical and emotional preparation you need right now. You'll get the truth about what the first eight weeks will really be like, how to protect your mental health and your relationship, and how to become the partner and parent you want to be.
