"I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START!"

There can be method to the madness, friend! Let me walk you through it.

"I'M AFRAID I'LL FORGET SOMETHING!"

I teach in small steps so it's easy to see what you've done--and what's still left! Plus you get my pro tips to have everything you need.

"I FEEL SO LOST ABOUT BABY THINGS."

I've been there, and I'm guiding you through the steps to feeling confident.

"I'M DROWNING IN OVERWHELM."

I break it down into simple, achievable steps so you can get quick wins, see your progress, & feel relieved.

"HOW AM I GOING TO RECOVER & CARE FOR BABY?"

I'm teaching clear systems to save you hours a day after baby comes!

"I'M GETTING SO MUCH CONFLICTING ADVICE!"

My systems are based on what has worked for me and thousands of other mothers. It cuts out the noise & helps you choose what works for you!

Hi, I'm Katy, your best new mom friend who has been there, done that, and is on a mission to help you do it better.

I get the new parent struggle--I've BEEN there, and I don't want parents to struggle the way I did ever again.

Before having kids myself, I studied motherhood while earning my PhD, and I had no idea at the time how relevant that work was. I also have a decade of teaching experience--I taught at multiple universities in Atlanta, and I left the academic world with the specific goal of bringing all my research to you.

Combining 10+ years of research and classroom experience with my own personal experience of motherhood, I marry the theoretical with the practical to bring you tools and resources to make this journey easier, more fulfilling, and more about YOU!

I want to tell you a story, friend. It isn't pretty, but it's real, and that's what we need more of, right?

For years, I wanted nothing more than to have a baby. When I took care of other people’s babies (and it felt like EVERYONE else was having them), people said I was a “natural.”

I setup my niece’s nursery, made up songs just for her, and cried the first time I successfully shushed a friend’s baby to sleep. I even gave a new mom friend a swaddling tutorial. I was as ready as anyone could be.

Until I wasn’t.

When I brought Jack home--a moment I hadn’t actually allowed myself to imagine--I suddenly felt like I had NO IDEA what I was doing. The anxiety and guilt came flooding in, and they pummeled me for the next 30 months.

I had spent years trying to get to this baby. I had grieved so many losses. 

Why didn’t I enjoy it more? What was wrong with me?  I had made it through recurrent miscarriage. I thought the hard part was behind me. 

With the help of two therapists, an incredible support system, a lot of hard work, and some help from Zoloft, I managed to claw my way out of this guilt-ridden pile of anxiety. 

And then, I did what I do best. I started digging for answers. 

• What could I have done differently?
• How could I have prepared better?
• What steps could I take to better support myself next time?
• How could I prevent other moms from ever having to feel this way?
  

That’s when I realized. 

No one can prepare you for the massive emotional shift of going from pregnant to parent. 

But you can take tangible steps to prepare yourself, your home, and your relationships. And by doing that work before baby arrives, you can have systems in place to support you through early new motherhood.

In the 4 ½ years between Jack and Branham, I created these systems. When I was pregnant with Branham, I implemented them. And when she was born, I discovered first-hand the difference between surviving in new motherhood and thriving. 

This is an experience I treasure. It’s what we all deserve, and I want to help you get there.
