Hi! I’m Jen, and I created PostpartumJourney to change the way we support postpartum moms.
I help ambitious moms navigate the hardest transition of their lives without losing themselves in the process.
Motherhood changes everything: your body, your time, your relationships, your sense of self. And yet, the world expects you to carry on as if nothing has changed.
I know because I’ve been there.
When I became a mom, I realized how much support disappears after birth. There’s endless advice on baby sleep and breastfeeding, but almost nothing about what happens to you, like the identity shift, the mental load, the impossible expectations. Moms are told to “just do what works for you,” but what if the whole system makes that feel impossible?
That’s why I started PostpartumJourney: to challenge the outdated narratives and give moms a different kind of support:
✔ A real conversation about postpartum identity and ambition
✔ Practical strategies for balancing work and motherhood
✔ Permission to redefine what success looks like – for you
✔ Tools to help you thrive
✔ A community that sees and values the whole you, not just “mom”
This isn’t a place for empty self-care tips or sugarcoated advice. It’s a space where we talk about the real challenges of postpartum and how to navigate them in a way that allows you to thrive.
And because the mental load is FOR REAL…
While most of this site is about you, I also know that the majority of your time and energy is going into keeping a tiny human alive and nurturing them with the hope that they’ll one day be a decent person. And the pressure to do both well can be crushing.
I once spent an entire day scouring the internet for the best open cup for my baby. An entire day. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
So, because decision fatigue is for real and your time and energy is much better used elsewhere, I’ll also be sharing the things that actually made postpartum easier for me—recovery essentials, tools, resources, sleep secrets, and more. No fluff, just what works. Including that dang cup.
Why? Because you shouldn’t have to choose between being a great mom and being yourself. You deserve both.
Welcome to PostpartumJourney. Let’s change the conversation. Will you join me?
