I have no idea what I'm doing...
You can read all the baby books…
Download the apps. Research the strollers. Listen to the podcasts. And still quietly wonder: How do I actually prepare for a change this big?
You lay awake at night wondering:
• What kind of mother am I going to be?
• Will I lose myself in motherhood?
• What is this going to do to our marriage?
• What's going to happen to my career?
• How are we going to pay for everything?
• What if I'm not naturally good at this?
• Is it normal to be this afraid?
• What kind of mother am I going to be?
• Will I lose myself in motherhood?
• What is this going to do to our marriage?
• What's going to happen to my career?
• How are we going to pay for everything?

• Is it normal to be this afraid?
If any of this sounds familiar, you are SO not alone.
Introducing...
Becoming Mama!
You don’t have to know what you’re doing yet. We'll walk you through it!
A course and community to help you prepare for motherhood: Whether you're still figuring out the timing, TTC, pregnant, or just brought your baby home.
"I had tears in my eyes as I signed up for Becoming Mama. Like, ‘Finally, the big sister who knows what she’s doing and can help me.’"
words from Sofia
"I love the Becoming Mama community. It’s so helpful to know I’m not the only one and the things I am navigating are not just me 😅"
and Natalie
"I joined before we started trying because I had a lot of anxiety about pregnancy. The course helped so much, and now I’m glad to have the support as I enter motherhood."
and Alex
One person tells you to trust your instincts. Another tells you your instincts are wrong.
One expert says one thing. Another says the exact opposite.
Modern motherhood can feel impossibly loud.
In Becoming Mama, we're going to help you turn down the noise so you can figure out:
What is right for me? And take practical steps towards the family you actually want to create.
9x author, TEDx speaker, and host of one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the world. For over a decade, she's mentored millions of women through big life decisions and transitions.
Licensed professional counselor helping women prepare for and thrive in parenthood. Certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol, which helps regulate the nervous system (critical for new parents).
The video lessons feel like sitting on the couch with me and Kelsey—two friends who’ve been through it, one of whom also happens to be a licensed professional counselor.
We’ll get into the questions you’re actually asking: Am I ready? What do I do with all this fear? How do we talk about money, work, and who’s going to do what before the baby arrives?
And we won’t leave you with a bunch of good advice you have to somehow turn into a plan. You’ll have exercises to work through, a baby budget, step-by-step guides fro choosing childcare and negotiating maternity leave. We'll give you actual scripts to help start the conversations you and your partner need to have (before everybody's totally exhausted!)
And when something comes up that we couldn’t have predicted, bring it to the community. There are women there who are planning, trying, pregnant, and in their first year postpartum.
Okay, but what do we actually do together?
Kelsey and I are there in the community too, so you can ask us about the things that come up in your actual life.
We've got you!

We made Becoming Mama together because we know how much this transition asks of a woman—and we wanted you to have the guidance, practical tools, and people we wish we’d had when we were becoming mothers.
We've also been best friends for 17 years!
Meet your guides!
Maybe you know you want a baby, but you’re not sure when. Maybe you and your partner aren’t even on the same page yet.
We’ll help you talk about the life you have now and what you’d want to change before you start trying.
- How do you know if you’re ready—or ready enough?
- What if one of you wants to start trying before the other does?
- What do you want to do, decide, or put in place first?
- What might having a baby mean for your work, money, and relationship?
Trying can be exciting. It can also take up far more room in your head, your calendar, and your relationship than you expected.
We’ll help you understand the basics and take care of yourselves while you’re in it.
- How does getting pregnant actually work, and which advice can you stop listening to?
- How do you stay connected when sex starts to feel like a task?
- What if it happens much faster than you expected—or takes much longer?
- How do you handle the uncertainty without putting the rest of your life on hold?
Before You're Pregnant
Trying to Conceive
Part one
Part two
And through every part: you’ll have the Becoming Mama community.
You can meet women who are planning, trying, pregnant, or in their first year postpartum—and bring your own questions to Kelsey and me, too.
From “Are we ready?” to your baby’s first year, we’ll walk through the questions that come with each stage.
join the course & Community
There’s plenty of information about what’s happening to the baby. We’ll help you prepare for what’s happening to you, and for the decisions you and your partner will be making together.
- What changes during pregnancy, and how do you handle the fear that something might go wrong?
- What do you want your work and childcare plans to look like?
- What should you and your partner talk through before the baby arrives?
- How do you prepare for birth—and for the first weeks at home?
Pregnancy and getting ready for birth
Part three
The baby is here. Now what? We’ll keep walking with you as the questions become less hypothetical and your family starts finding its feet.
- Who am I now, and how do I stay connected to the parts of myself I love?
- How do we share the work and stay close when we’re both exhausted?
- What do I do when everyone has an opinion and I’m still figuring out my own?
- What kind of home do we want our child to grow up in—and what from our own childhoods do we want to do differently?
The first year of motherhood
Part four
"I’ve always been afraid becoming a mom would mean losing myself. Becoming Mama helped me see it differently—I don’t disappear, I become more."
words from Teresa
"I joined Becoming Mama because I couldn’t decide whether I wanted kids. I'm still nervous, I'm still not 100% doubt-free. But the videos helped me realize I don’t have to be. My husband and I just decided to start trying. 💛"
and Elise
"I loved the Becoming Mama resources as we prepared to become parents. I found them so helpful."
and Amanda
You’re wondering whether you’re ready, or you’re already pregnant and thinking, I have no idea what I’m doing.
You want to prepare yourself, not just the nursery.
You want guidance without someone telling you there’s only one correct way to parent.
You wish you had a few wise women you could ask, Is this normal? What do I need to know? What would you do next?

This space is for IF...
Yep.
