Maybe, Maybe, Maybe
Maybe Motherhood was born from a place both deeply personal and deeply professional—two parts of my life that finally, unexpectedly, collided in a way that made everything make sense.
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I spend my days sitting with women in some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives: infertility, pregnancy after loss, the shaky weeks of postpartum, and the moments that reshape us in ways we never saw coming.
Despite the different stories, symptoms, timelines, or diagnoses, I noticed something universal:
Uncertainty sits at the center of it all.
And then, at home, in the middle of all this emotional and clinical clarity, my toddler started saying the same word over and over—his new favorite word: “Maybe.”
And at first, it was funny. But then I realized: he had accidentally named the entire emotional landscape of motherhood. So much of motherhood—before, during, and long after—is a maybe.
That tiny word captured all the hope and fear we carry at once. The fragility. The possibility. The parts we can’t control and the parts we desperately try to.
And suddenly, the mission became clear:
Maybe Motherhood would be the space where we learn to live inside the uncertainty—without feeling alone, without shame, and without the pressure to have the answers.
What This Space Will Hold
This new chapter is grounded in mental health, clinical clarity, and the real emotional experiences of real women. Here’s what you’ll find moving forward:
Evidence-based support you can actually use
I’ll share tools from CBT, DBT, and reproductive mental health research—translated into human language, not textbook jargon.
Honest conversations about the in-between
The two-week wait. The decision-making. The grieving. The rebuilding.
The moments that don’t get baby shower invitations or Instagram filters.
Compassionate guidance for partners, friends, and families
Because no one should walk these experiences isolated from support.
Stories that soften the edges of uncertainty
Not to fix it, but to help it feel less impossible to carry.
How Maybe Motherhood Can Help You
Maybe Motherhood isn’t just for those in fertility treatment or navigating loss.
It’s for anyone who understands what it means to hold hope in one hand and fear in the other.
Anyone who wants better emotional literacy—whether for themselves or for someone they love.
Anyone who has ever asked, “How do I keep going when I don’t know what comes next?”
With maybe motherhood, you’re a part of a community reshaping the way we talk about the most uncertain, tender, transformative chapters of becoming a parent—or becoming ourselves.
Because the truth is, we can’t always outrun the maybes.
But we can learn to meet them with more clarity, compassion, and support.
And that’s what this space is for.
Welcome to Maybe Motherhood.
There is so much good ahead.
With love,
Katie 💗
