Welcome to the Momma Collective
The missing piece of your postpartum recovery journey. The reassurance, community, and tools you knew you needed but didnt know where to find.
The Momma Collective is a postpartum program for women who are tired of feeling broken, confused and alone in their postpartum journey.
You are a capable woman. You have done hard things. You have achieved things that you didnt think were possible. You have overcome obstacles. You stood strong, when others around you would have collapsed under the same weight.
When it came to motherhood, you knew it would be challenging. You heard the stories about the pain of labor and delivery. You read books about the risks, and you felt prepared. A little nervous maybe, but you knew you could do it. You may have always thought you would be a good mom or deep down you may have worried that you may not measure up, but ultimately, you knew that generations of women before you have become mothers, and it worked out for them - how hard could it really be? Right?!
So you made it through the 9 months of pregnancy, the labor and delivery, and your precious baby arrived. Literally overnight, your life changed in ways you couldn't have possibly imagined. Your body, as you once knew it, was no longer the same. It no longer belonged to you. It now had an entity attached to it that needed every ounce of your being, every second of every day. And yet, the things around you stayed the same. You still have to clean the house, do the laundry, feed yourself, your baby, and anyone else who depends on you.
But why was it now so difficult, impossible even, to do things that you used to do with your eyes closed? You have been tired before, but this is a different level of exhaustion...utter depletion. You feel like you are operating with a fraction of the brain cells, your memory is non-existent, your emotions are all over the place, and the strangest part of it all, you no longer recognize yourself. Being in your body, the place you have inhabited for your entire life, feels foreign. You feel like a stranger in your own body.
What nobody told you is that becoming a mom is the most transformative experience a human being can go through. Matrescence, the process of becoming a mother, has a profound impact on your entire being - physically, hormonally, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. They may have attempted to prepare you physically, but somehow forgot the mental and emotional support.
What nobody told you is that you can love your baby completely and still grieve the woman you used to be.
That you can want to be a good mom and also fantasize about getting in your car and driving somewhere alone and quiet.
That the person you share a bed with can start to feel like a stranger.
That resentment can build quietly, for months, before it has a name.
That the anxiety that wakes you up at 3am is not just "new-mom nerves", it is your nervous system under genuine strain.
That the brain fog and the rage and the tearfulness and the identity confusion are not an abnormal part of this process, but it is the normal response to the biological changes you are undergoing, exacerbated by lack of support and resources.
Even if you have a supportive community, the level of help that you actually need isn't available either because its too expensive, inaccessible or because you're afraid of what it would say about you as a person. You stop yourself from asking for help because of the shame that comes along with it. Asking for help feels like you're saying that you're no longer that capable, strong, woman who used to be able to handle any and everything that came her way. Asking for help feels like you're not cut out for this motherhood thing. Asking for help feels like you're not good enough, not as a mom or as a woman. We're literally built for this after all, and if so many other women can do it and seemingly kill it, why can't you?
Although these are thoughts that you may have wrestled with, it is important to know that postpartum anxiety, depression, doubt, and fear is LOUD during this process, but that doesn't make it true. When your mental health is compromised, even though you may know those beliefs aren't entirely true, it feels as if they are and your behavior follows suit. Your relationships are compromised and the most important person (you) receives the worst of it.
Given all of this, you have likely considered traditional individual therapy, but those thoughts may pop up and convince you that "its not that bad". Because your plate is beyond full, you may have struggled to commit to a weekly schedule due to the unpredictable nature of your baby's needs, which then gobbles up any "self-care time" with work, household duties, and other commitments.
If you are ready for change and need options that work for you instead of making you feel more guilty or stressed, then you have found the missing piece to your postpartum recovery journey. The Momma Collective is designed to bridge this gap in the mental health field by creating an asynchronous, self-paced course with tools and education that will help you navigate this transformative experience, while giving you community and access to support when you need it. Momma Collective has guided meditations to help you reset and regulate when you're overwhelmed, journal prompts to help you gain insight and challenge negative beliefs that are neither helpful nor true, and education presented in simple terms that helps you make meaning and gain understanding of what you're experiencing. We love babies, but this space is all about you. We care about your holistic health. We dont judge you for being human and we dont blame you for responding adversely to circumstances that were just not designed for you thrive.
A Gentle Reminder
You are not failing at motherhood.
You are navigating one of the most complex transitions a human being can experience — without a roadmap, without a village, and often without anyone asking how you are doing.
Things you may be carrying quietly:
You are not alone if you've thought...
"I love my baby but I miss my life."
"I don't recognize myself anymore."
"I'm so angry and I don't know why."
"I feel completely alone even when I'm surrounded by people."
And if you've also wondered...
"I thought I'd be better at this."
"I'm scared to tell anyone how bad it actually is."
"Everyone else seems to be handling this fine. What is wrong with me?"
There is nothing wrong with you. Support, clarity, and healing are possible.
Here's what staying stuck looks like.
When postpartum anxiety, depression, rage, and identity disruption go unnamed and unsupported, they don't just resolve on their own. They can become deeper wounds that activate existing wounds, worsen unresolved pain, or create new scars. The resentment can grow into emotional detachment and contempt. Your relationship strains under the weight of unspoken needs. Your sense of who you are outside of "mom" gets smaller. The things that used to bring you joy feel inaccessible or like a luxury you don't have time for anymore.
You keep pushing through. Because that's what you do.
But pushing through is not the same as healing. And you deserve more than survival.
INTRODUCING:
The Momma Collective
A clinician-led postpartum course, community, and resource library built for the woman who is ready to reclaim her power and sense of self.
It is a structured, evidence-based postpartum experience created by a licensed trauma therapist, designed specifically for accomplished women who are struggling in ways they never expected and didn't see coming.
It is built on the belief that you don't need to be fixed. You need to be understood. You need language for what you're experiencing. You need tools that actually work. And you need to stop doing this alone.
Here's How it Works:
Step 1: Join the Waitlist
Sign up to be the first to know when doors open. Waitlist members get founding member pricing.
Step 2: Start the course at your own pace
Begin with Session 1 and move through the material on your schedule. No pressure, no timeline, no judgment. One session a week is plenty. One session a month is good enough too.
Step 3: Show up for yourself.
Use the tools. Join the live calls. Post in the community when you need support. Let this be the place where you stop pretending you're fine and allow yourself to receive the support you need and deserve.

A Clear Next Step
Is The Momma Collective right for you?
This space is designed to feel supportive, honest, and deeply practical. Here is a simple way to tell whether this experience matches what you need in this season.
This is for you if...
- You feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched thin, or unlike yourself in postpartum.
- You want support that is gentle, structured, and realistic for a busy, unpredictable life.
- You are craving tools, clarity, and language for what you are experiencing.
- You want connection and reassurance without judgment or pressure to perform.
- You are ready to stop white-knuckling your way through motherhood alone.
This may not be the best fit if...
- You are looking only for crisis support or urgent one-on-one mental health care.
- You want a quick fix without engaging with the tools, course material, or community support.
- You are not in a place where you can make even small amounts of space for your own healing.
- You prefer a highly clinical or impersonal approach over warmth, reflection, and community-based care.
- You are seeking medical advice in place of therapeutic education and postpartum emotional support.
About Me
Meet Michaele Evans
As a clinician, I have seen how many mothers carry the invisible weight of postpartum without the language, tools, or support they truly need. I have wrestled with the tension between pushing therapeutic models that obviously do not work for busy moms, while recognizing that they need more support. I have resisted upholding punitive policies that contribute to stress and shame, while recognizing that structure and boundaries are needed to maintain therapeutic progress. I have seen women go without any support simply because the mental health industry has not prioritized solutions that would actually meet moms where they are at. This problem is not new and it is disheartening that the maternal mental health crisis is worsening, despite the advancement of tools and resources in every other aspect of our culture. It is not the responsibility of moms, alone, to solve this problem. I would argue that moms have enough on their plate. It is my intention to create a container for moms to safely learn, be present, and heal.
My work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and the belief that just because things have always been this way doesnt mean that it is correct. You deserve support that feels practical, grounding, and deeply human.
This space was built to help you feel seen, understood, and empowered as you navigate postpartum with more clarity, connection, and care.
A Personal Note
A note from Michaele
I created The Momma Collective for women who feel crazy, overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsupported on the inside, yet feel as though they have to keep it all together on the outside.
If any part of this page made you feel seen, I want you to know that was intentional. You are powerful beyond measure and struggling through this phase of your life does not change that. So many women move through postpartum believing they should be able to handle it all, especially when they have spent their lives being capable, dependable, and strong.
You are not a burden to those who love you and want you to be well. My hope is that The Momma Collective becomes a soft place to land, a practical place to heal, and a reminder that you are enough, you are loved, and you are appreciated.

The Momma Collective is designed for real postpartum life. You can move through the course at your own pace, revisit resources when you need them, and engage with the community in a way that feels manageable for your current season.
Is this therapy?
This is a clinician-led postpartum support experience with education, tools, and community. It is not a replacement for individualized therapy, crisis care, or medical treatment, but it can be a deeply supportive complement for moms who want structured guidance and emotional support.
What kind of mom is this best for?
This space is especially supportive for moms who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to make sense of what postpartum has brought up. It is for women who want both compassion and practical tools.
Will I still benefit if I am past the newborn stage?
Yes. Many women are still carrying the emotional weight of postpartum well beyond the early months. If you are still feeling the effects of the transition into motherhood, the tools, support, and guidance inside The Momma Collective can still be relevant and helpful.
