- worried about fitting or what the future holds?
- ruminating on “I’m a bad parent?”
- exhausted from lack of community or support?
- wanting to break generational cycles?
- struggling with postpartum self-image?
- frustrated with the symptoms of trauma?

“Trauma, decontextualized in a person over time, looks like personality. Trauma, decontextualized in a family, looks like family traits. Trauma, decontextualized in a people, looks like culture.” Resmaa Menakem
