WELCOME, MAMA

If you’ve been searching for a place where your anger isn’t judged, or viewed as not motherly, or drives people away, you’ve found it. Deep breath. We get you here.

This is your safe harbor for now. I know how scary life can feel when your anger has taken over. When everything sets you off. When you so frequently feel ashamed and guilty. When you have tried everything to “control” your anger and nothing has worked. When it’s making you question who you are and if you’re cut out for motherhood. But let’s put that all to rest for now: it hasn’t worked because you were looking at your anger as something to be conquered rather than listened to. And you are a wonderful mother.

Let’s get you the support and understanding you need. Breathe in. Breathe out. You’re in the right place.

Three things I let go of in my recovery from postpartum rage

My journey through postpartum anxiety and rage was a long and twisty one, as most women’s recoveries are. There were lots of starts and stops, things that seemed to be working and then didn’t, things I tried multiple times before they stuck, and many times I thought...

What does my recovery look like? It looks like this.

I decided last night while washing my face that I was going to throw away all of the rules I’d created for myself around my professional online presence. When I first started The Calm Mama Method and this blog, I spent a lot of time thinking about how much of my...

The Power of Limiting Beliefs

If you’ve spent much (or any) time in the manifestation/law-of-attraction world, you’ve likely heard of limiting beliefs. I’m not here today to discuss limiting beliefs in that context – though I find it fascinating and have been getting more and more into it lately....

When You Need a Time-Out: Managing Anxiety While Momming

Anxiety and I have been buddies for a very long time. When I was in kindergarten, my parents enrolled me in “Capable Kids,” a program for anxious kids, after my kindergarten teacher told them that I was so afraid of doing things incorrectly that I was basically...
