There’s a specific kind of “silent stress” that most moms and founders know all too well. It isn’t the big projects or the high-level strategy, it’s the relentless hum of life admin. The “do we have enough milk?” pings, the hunt for missing soccer cleats, and the constant calendar Tetris that slowly eats away at […]

It’s kind of wild how many do’s and dont’s come your way the second you announce a pregnancy. Some of them are just old-school myths, like the idea that heartburn means your baby will have a full head of hair or that craving sweets means you’re having a girl. They’re funny to hear, but not […]
