If you've ever thought, "I should be able to handle this," or "Other moms seem to manage better than I do," this space is for you. Difficulty advocating for yourself during early parenthood isn't a personal failure-it's a predictable response to a huge life transition. This workshop offers a compassionate, realistic way forward.

Shame thrives in silence.
And silence makes shame feel true.

This cycle doesn’t start because something is wrong with you.
It starts because something is hard—and you were never taught how to name your needs without guilt.

When struggle turns into self-criticism…
When self-criticism turns into withdrawal…
The cycle keeps spinning.

Not because you failed.
But because your needs went unspoken.

✨ This is exactly what we’ll be working on together ✨

Self-Advocacy for New Moms: Honoring Your Needs Without Guilt

🗓 January 31
⏰ 10am EST
💻 Virtual

This workshop is for you if:
• You downplay your needs so others don’t feel burdened
• You struggle to ask for help (even when you really need it)
• You keep thinking, “Other moms seem fine—why isn’t this easier for me?”
• You want language, clarity, and confidence to advocate for yourself—without apologizing

No fixing.
No pressure to overshare.
Just tools, validation, and a space where your experience makes sense.

Going off on a little tangent this week to address the current climate and provide support for those who are struggling. I had chatGPT help me make this diagram as I got ready for work this morning, which helped my mind settle and focus for the day. It is based on the Dual Process model for grief processing. This is for anyone, not just parents, to use if you're feeling overwhelmed by the world.

Therapist year in review ✨
This year was about returning to what mattered:
good-enough care, boundaries, asking for help, and treating emotions with more kindness.
Those themes showed up in my work — and quietly became anchors for me too, while parenting a toddler, navigating change, and building something new.
Also worth naming:
no one gets through a year like this on insight alone.
Caffeine, fantasy novels, my people, my own therapy, and saying “no” helped. ☕📚
Here’s to slow, human, sustainable care — in therapy and in life.

Ways to Let the Air Out (Through the Day)

• Step outside and actually feel the air on your face.
• Loosen your jaw and drop your shoulders.
• Take three deep breaths with a long exhale.
• Sip your coffee while it’s still warm.
• Text someone “today is a lot”.
• Stretch or shake out your hands.
• Put on a song that shifts your energy.
• Name the feeling/what's stressing you.
• Step away from the screen for two minutes.
• Cry or laugh - both create endorphins.
• Let something small be “good enough” for today

It’s official.

After months of creating, writing, and refining behind the scenes, I’m finally opening the doors to Lydia Heimlich Maternal Wellness — a coaching space for parents and caregivers who want to feel grounded, supported, and clear in every stage of parenthood.

This is where we take everything I love about therapeutic work — the reflection, the compassion, the curiosity — and turn it into a forward-focused process that helps you move through life’s transitions with intention and care.

Every client begins with a Foundational Coaching Session: a 90-minute conversation to explore your needs, strengths, and support systems. From there, I create your Personalized Postpartum Wellness Plan, a guide that’s made for you — your real life, your real capacity, your real values.

To celebrate the soft launch, sessions are $175 through October 31 (regularly $195).

You can learn more or schedule a discovery call at lydiaheimlich.com (Link in bio).

Thank you for being here and for believing in this work.

✨ Parenthood changes everything, but the real needs of moms and parents often get overlooked. That’s why I started the Motherhood Needs Project: to actually ask parents what support would have made the biggest difference.

From emotional support to meal help to simply a break without guilt, your voices are shaping this project.

The Motherhood Needs Project is gathering voices from across the parenting journey, and the first results are already powerful.

Moms are saying loud and clear: practical help, rest, and emotional support matter most. And the number one theme? The need for guilt-free time to care for themselves.

But this is just the start. The survey is still open, and I’d love for your voice to be included. Every story matters, and together we can show what moms really need.
