Nobody teaches you what to say after a pregnancy loss.
I learned it the hard way — 4 times, before my daughter. And what I noticed in all that grief was that the people who loved me most often froze. Not because they didn’t care, but because no one ever showed them how to sit with this kind of pain.

This week, I got to share what I learned in . I made this carousel to bring it home, in my own words. Swipe through for what actually helped and what didn’t.
If you’ve lived this, I hope it makes you feel less alone. And if you love someone who has, I hope it gives you something to hold onto the next time you don’t know what to say.
You don’t need perfect words. You just need to stay. 🤍

Save this. Send it to someone who needs it.

PregnancyLossSupport YouAreNotAlone

I never thought my name would sit in the same article as Dr. Jessica Zuckerberg, .

Years ago, when I was in the thick of my own losses, her work was one of the first things that made me feel less alone, like maybe what I was carrying had a name, and a place to go.

This week, we’re both in , in a piece about pregnancy loss and what to say (and what not to say) when someone is grieving one. The Losses We Keep is part of the story too. 🤍

If you’ve ever lost a pregnancy, or you’ve stood beside someone who has and didn’t know what to do..this one’s worth the read. The conversation we’ve needed is finally happening out loud.

YouAreNotAlone

05/19/2026

I was getting sick. The mold was why.

I thought I was declining fast after turning 40 🫠…. Perimenopause hitting hard.. nopppppe. We didn’t know what we were dealing with until we did, I knew something wasn’t right with me, and thankful that helped me to discover that this could be mold and to get my house checked. I hate that this was affecting my daughter too, but we’re on the path to healing, working with + on our detox protocols.

If something in your house feels off, if you can’t figure out why you don’t feel right at home — it’s worth ruling out!!

Save this. Send it to someone with mystery symptoms. I’d rather you not learn this the way we did.

Today is for the mothers we celebrate. 🤍
And today is also for the women still hoping. The ones praying through another Mother’s Day. The ones holding losses no one sees. The ones whose motherhood looks different than they pictured.
I wrote The Losses We Keep for the version of me who dreaded this day. For the woman scrolling past brunch photos with a lump in her throat. For the one whispering please, next year.
If that’s you today… I see you. I’m still you, in many ways. Your hope is not foolish. Your grief is not too much. Your story isn’t over.
The hoping counts. The love counts. You count. 🤍

PS — In this photo is my friend , an incredible acupuncturist who has always been so open with me through her losses and has been such a guiding light for me and so many others. She shared more about her story today if you need some support as well. Love you Ang.

This is my mom.

She and I didn’t have the kind of relationship most people picture when they hear “mother and daughter.”
She struggled with herself, in ways that made it hard for her to be the mom I needed. I lived with my aunt from the time I was five. The bones of who I am were built by other women.
And still, there’s a grief I carry into Mother’s Day weekend that I don’t always know how to explain.
It’s not the grief of “she was perfect and now she’s gone.”

It’s the grief of small, ordinary things. The phone call I’d want to make for the in-between moments. The “is this normal?” texts. The version of her that would have been a better grandparent than mom. The chapter she would have loved. The version of her I’ll never meet.

I talk about this a lot with friends who had hard relationships with their parents. Something that sets some of us free is letting them be the grandparent, even when the one-on-one was painful.

Swallowing the ego. Watching them thrive with our kids in a way they couldn’t always thrive with us. Letting that be enough.

What I admired about her, even when it was hard, was her spirit. The way she cared for people. The way she could light up a room for someone who needed it.
That would have been her. I’m sure of it.

And underneath all of it: the joy.
Because being a mother is also the most alive I have ever been.

So this weekend, I’ll do what so many women do,
I’ll hold the joy in one hand and the grief in the other and let them be true at the same time.

If you’re juggling joy and grief this Mother’s Day, the mom who’s gone, the mom you wanted, the motherhood you’re still becoming….I see you.
You don’t have to pick one to feel.
You’re allowed all of it.

February Recap: What Surprised Me Most

I almost didn’t post it.

The LinkedIn post about what I’m actually building — the portfolio career, LERA, Round21, all of it…sat in my drafts longer than I’d like to admit. I kept thinking, is this too much? will anyone care?

11,779 impressions and 68 comments later, I have my answer. People are hungry for the real version. Noted.

Here’s the rest of February, honest edition:

The body stuff: Back to consistent workouts and my routine after January knocked me flat. Recovery is unglamorous but it’s working. supplements in the rotation

The mind stuff: working on a Substack. I forgot how much I love writing just to think out loud. Just need to carve out the time.

The health stuff: Completed my retest with — hormones, gut, allergies, the full picture. Data doesn’t lie. Allll 60+ biomarkers.

The heart stuff: Carter turned 2. We celebrated at the Factory surrounded by people who love him, and then he transitioned out of his crib🫠🫠🫠 like he just decided he was done with baby stuff. Two years old and already too cool. 🥹

February also brought a million snow days, school closings, and every version of “mom can you...”.

We survived. We showed up. We’re doing it, fam. 🔦
March is already moving. I’m moving with it.

I’ve been trying to participate in the 2016 throwback trend and I keep staring at my screen thinking: “Yeah, this is f**ked.”

Not the trend. The fact that I can’t look back without confronting the grief of how much has unraveled.
The grief of genuinely believing we were heading somewhere better.

If you’re feeling it too, swipe.

Once a year, on the anniversary of my mom’s passing, I listen to her voicemails. Today is that day. And I haven’t heard this one until now.

I remember how excited she was for our anniversary party..clearly from this message, she was dragging my stepdad everywhere to shop for it. The party was the first time in a long time I saw my mom be herself again. Smiling. Dancing. She’d been so sick that I didn’t always recognize her, didn’t realize how bad it had gotten. But that night, I remember telling Brad how good it felt to see her happy like that.

A week later, we got the call that she passed away.

I share these voicemails to celebrate who she was, even as I acknowledge that grief doesn’t soften with time. I talk to the kids about their Nanny constantly, show them pictures. Yesterday a feather floated by the window - always her way of saying hello.

A friend who lost their parent last month asked if it gets easier. I was honest: it doesn’t. I still think about all the memories and moments I wish she was here for. How happy she’d be with her grandbabies.

I can hear her excitement in this voicemail, making my stepdad take her store to store, determined to celebrate us. That was my mom. Showing up fully, even when her body was failing her. She was a gift.
