Stop dreading it and start…
Created for you so you can prepare for and experience this highly emotional day in a healthy way.
Approaching Mother’s Day can feel like walking in the dark in bare feet knowing there are Lego blocks strewn all over the floor.
- You’re kind of looking forward to parts of it, but you also know that there’s so much space for disappointment.
- You want to tell people what you’d like to do but you don’t know how.
- You don’t know if they’ll listen to you.
- You are missing your baby like crazy, and it only gets more intense as the days go by.
- You don’t want to spend the day curled up on your closet floor, or worse…plastering on a fake smile to get through it all and THEN spending the night curled up in tears.
You don’t have to be miserable this Mother’s Day
You don’t have to spend the weeks before May 11 dreading how you’re going to feel.
You can embrace Mother’s Day, even after loss.
This 30 day challenge helps you feel better with just one small prompt every day. Give yourself a few minutes and see what a difference it makes!
Hi! I’m Amy and I’m a mom to six living kids and two babies waiting for me in Heaven.
How the challenge works:
Every day you’ll receive a morning email with one of three activities:
Self Care
No, we’re not talking bubble baths (although that could be really fun). Self care means truly caring for you. You’ll prioritize your needs, your heart, your mind. If you had a best friend who was struggling you would step up and care for them. This time you’re caring for you. Your inner critic will be gently silenced. You’ll find what brings you joy again. These are some of my favorite days in the challenge.
Emotional Intelligence
Let’s up that EQ! The biggest struggle with Mother’s Day after loss isn’t where you should have brunch, it’s how awful you think you’re going to feel. But feelings don’t just happen. You have way more power than you think. When you get good at understanding and welcoming all your emotions you will feel so much more peace.
Plan Your Day
This where you get to take action to create the day you want. So often when you’re afraid of a milestone day, you’ll avoid planning anything. You also might not want to plan because someone else is SUPPOSED to plan for you. I feel that. And I’m telling you that it doesn’t mean more if you make them read your mind. Especially when it’s so jumbled up right now. It’s a recipe for a disaster, and I’m not letting that happen. Let’s plan together and communicate those plans so you know what to expect and can breathe easier.
What I see every year is the amount of torment people go through leading up to Mother’s Day.
It’s supposed to be happy but there are so many obstacles.
Like everyone else we can have:
- Unmet expectations for how we want to be treated
- Complicated relationships with your mother or Partner’s mother
- Missing your mother or mother figures who have passed or live far away
- Just another reminder that your life isn’t how you wish it was
Then you add babyloss and you get:
- Wrestling with your identity, as a mom with children no one can see or a mom with living kids and more not with you
- Extra pain when your motherhood is not acknowledged by the people around you
- Feeling like you have to explain yourself but no one understands
- Wondering if you’ll ever get to enjoy this day
- Dashed dreams of what Mother’s Day would look like
With this challenge you get SIMPLE steps given to you daily that all add up to make a HUGE difference. You don’t have to just let this all happen to you. It’s time to take back control.
I know personally how hard it can feel to add another thing to your list. I know how overwhelming your emotions can be and you don’t want to add one more thing to the list of stuff you’re failing at.
I’m not going to let you fail.
This challenge is set up so even in the deepest, freshest grief you will find relief.
If you are farther along on your journey you will find your voice that may have been missing for a while.
You’ll learn things that will help you not just with Mother’s Day, but so many other places where it’s time for you to take back your power.
The challenge has begun but you can still jump in!
What you get:
30 days of challenge activities to help you care for yourself, learn how to handle your emotions, and plan a Mother’s Day that looks like YOU want it to.

BONUS!
As a bonus, I will also be holding live Mother’s Day coaching calls where you can ask questions or get help with where you are struggling.
These calls will be held on Zoom with a group of like minded loss moms. You do not want to miss these calls! I will email out replays if you can’t be there.
You can also email in questions before each call.
Normally I am only able to take a few clients for one-on-one Mother’s Day coaching so this is an awesome opportunity to get the support you need.
FAQs
No worries. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. You can just keep going the next day, do two activities in one day, or just leave the one you missed. There is no pressure from me, only encouragement.
Some may just be a few minutes. Others involve having conversations or taking time to plan. You get to determine how long you spend thinking and then doing. I encourage you to make quick decisions and get going. Most of your suffering comes from staying stuck and being afraid. This challenge will give you the gentle but firm push you need.
YES. I firmly believe that even saying yes and signing up for a challenge like this sends a message that you are ready to stop dreading Mother’s Day and start Embracing it. I have used these tools to help my clients prepare for big, emotional days with incredible results.
