Real Advice for Moms-to-Be: How to Win at Parenting Without Losing Yourself

When I became a mom, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was a Stanford-trained pediatrician, I had been in private practice for several years —I thought I knew it all. Still, I was unprepared for the parts of early motherhood that eventually contributed to months of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. I wish someone had sat me down and gone through what to expect in the first weeks and months in a very real, unfiltered way.

Now, my greatest joy is educating and inspiring new and expectant moms so they are more prepared than I was as they make their motherhood transitions. My goal is to help them build confidence with their little ones and to find the resources they need.
