the transition to motherhood is wild
…but your mental and emotional health doesn’t have to be.
Emotional regulation skills are a necessity to growing in calm and confidence.
for catholic women, the first five years of motherhood can be a bit of a crazy period.
The changes to your identity, your body, your marriage, your work, your prayer, your friendships…it all shifts.
So you cast all your cares upon…Google, Reddit and everyone else’s opinions.
Birth plans. Feeding schedules. Sleeping schedules. Doctors appointments. Baby names. Diaper bags. Developmental milestones.
You’re utterly exhausted and feel like a fish out of water. You wonder if you have Postpartum anxiety or depression - when are the feelings normal and when are they not???
start with the basics.

The Connection between Self Care and Emotional Regulation
“The one who has hope lives differently.” - Pope Benedict XVI
Hi there! i’m talia.
I’m a wife, a mom of 5, a mental health coach and I am ridiculously passionate about helping Catholic women improving their mental health, managing their moods, and growing in virtue while also living REAL life. Taking care of your mental health is more than just going to therapy and taking medicine (or both) - and in fact, may not even incorporate either of those mediums. In my own experience there were times in my life where I was going to “therapy” and taking medicine, but still not able to overcome the mood swings - and I thought hope was lost.
After being diagnosed with bipolar 2 when I was 24, I learned immensely valuable life skills that helped me manage my moods and mental health. Without these skills, I’m not sure I would have been able to get married and become a mom when I was 30.
When I had 5 babies in 7 years, I quickly realized the level of exhaustion and mental burnout that came with this state of motherhood, when I didn’t practice these important skills.
