"Before Kae, I was exhausted and struggling to manage everything. Once my sweet emonim Misook stepped in, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. The nutritious meals and emotional support truly restored me. I didn’t just survive the postpartum period – I thrived."
- Lauren T.
For so many moms, the early postpartum weeks are filled with love…
but also moments of overwhelm that few talk about.
- Your baby finally falls asleep in your arms, and you stay frozen, because you really need them to stay asleep. You think about all the things you need to do… laundry, dishes, eating a meal that isn’t a granola bar, but you’re tired so you just sit there.
- Breastfeeding isn’t what you expected. You sit on the edge of your bed and you try to massage your breasts to get your milk flowing. You’re asking, “Am I doing this right?” “Is this supposed to feel uncomfortable?” “Am I the only one experiencing this?”
- It’s 3 p.m., and you realize you haven’t eaten yet. You grab a handful of crackers because cooking feels impossible when you’re trying to soothe a crying baby.
- The baby’s bottles need washing, tiny clothes are waiting to be folded, and somehow, there’s always one more thing to do before you can sit down.
- It feels lonely. You crave a simple “You’re doing an amazing job,” You push through on your own, you’re feeling doubtful, and you wish someone could see how much you’re carrying.
- You’ve barely slept more than two hours at a time in days. You lie down for a nap only for your baby to wake up 15 minutes later.
Instead of being able to recover and renourish your body, postpartum has become something you’re surviving. You tell yourself, ‘I guess this is just how it is.’ But… what if it could be different?
- What if you were well-rested, deeply nurtured, and truly cared for?
- What if you had the space to heal and more time to soak in precious moments with your baby?
- What if you didn’t just get through postpartum, you thrived?
