Get the information you need, in the format that works for you.

Let's be real. You are not lacking information, you are inundated with it.

You just need someone to tell you what you actually need to know and worry about—and what's just marketing noise.

That's why we're here. Based on the best selling book The New Parents' Guide to Surviving the First Eight Weeks: From Pregnancy Through Those First Crucial Months With Your Newborn we are here to help reduce the noise for first-time parents.

Whether you love to curl up with a short book or you prefer the information delivered to your inbox just in time… we share only what you need to know, when you need to know it.

Get It Your Way

If you're not good at returning to a book after you've read it, we get it. You've got A LOT going on. That's why we offer a course with information delivered via email based on your due date and role.

Are you pregnant and full of nerves and questions? We've got you.

Is your partner pregnant and you're wondering how to show up and prepare for this huge change? We've got you too.

From one parent to another, I wrote this for you...

Despite having degrees in Psychology and Neuroscience from Harvard University and a degree in Education from Boston College, I was still totally shocked at how unprepared I felt going into motherhood—overwhelmed by conflicting advice and pressure to "do it all perfectly." I felt exhausted well before the hard part started. I spent so much time preparing and planning because I didn't know what to expect. I needed a real guide to tell me what the hell was about to happen and what I actually needed to worry about and what was just noise.

So I wrote the book I wished I'd had: one that cuts through the fear-mongering and gives you exactly what you need to know, exactly when you need to know it. I don't promise perfection or Instagram-worthy parenting. Just practical, science-informed guidance to help you survive the first eight weeks, trust your instincts, and show up as the parent you actually want to be.

What People Are Saying

All I can say is YES!! As a mom of 2 boys who also works with tons of mamas/soon to be mamas, THIS is the book I will be recommending to them all. This guide takes the stress out of sifting through mountains of information, and brings it back to what really matters. So many of us mamas want to read the internet to the very end looking for the answers, and it creates so much unnecessary anxiety. We don't need all the answers in the early days, we need to know the basics and this guide is perfect — just enough to get you prepared while keeping you mentally calm. And let's be honest, isn't that all we really need?!

The New Parent’s Guide to Surviving the First Eight Weeks is a lifeline for anyone stepping into parenthood for the first time. Practical, compassionate, and delightfully honest, it cuts through the noise of endless advice and focuses on what truly matters: surviving (and even enjoying) the early weeks with a newborn.

Sarah Carrera
Mom, Founder SG NPT

“The New Parents Guide To Surviving The First Eight Weeks is honest, smart, funny, and full of exactly what you actually need to know as a first-time parent. It feels like your wise, no-BS aunt is handing you her cheat sheet—and reminding you that you’re going to figure this out.”

Kimberly Meehan, PMHNP, co-founder of MyTribe

“With so much noise out there for new parents, this series is a breath of fresh air.”

— Bridget Royer, PA-C

“The partner newsletter helped me to step into fatherhood with much more confidence. Knowing what my wife was going through and getting advice for how to step up meant a lot to her. Sometimes you just need someone to explain it to you and filter the noise, that is what this series did for me.”

FAQ

Most parenting resources try to tell you everything that could possibly happen (even if most of it won’t). We find that tends to add stress more than it helps. We’ll tell you how to get through one of the biggest unknown times in your life with only the things you need for that window. That's it. Once you get your bearings, you can layer in other resources, but when it’s all new… too much information can be more harmful than helpful.

Also: No judgment. No toxic positivity. No pretending this is all magical.

Yes, based on your due date we will accelerate the timeline of emails so that you are caught up with all the information you may have missed if you had signed up right away.

Yes, we understand that things happen, you can pause or opt out no questions asked at any point. Subscriptions are non-refundable after the first 30 days, but we will allow you to rejoin at any point in the future.

The series is a one time fee. While, it feels like a subscription, the one-time price gets you access to all resources for pregnancy and the first two months with your baby.

Reading a book is a time commitment, and you often only need a fraction of it at the time you are reading. Exhaustion and stress often mean you won’t even remember the concepts when you actually need them. That is why we created an email series. 

Think of it like a book that is delivered slowly at the exact moment where you need to know the information. Over the course of your subscription, we will send you around 50 emails, but don’t worry, all of them will be high value and tailored to your specific due date.

The book and email series cover a lot of the same core information—what you need to know to survive pregnancy and the first eight weeks—but they're designed for different purposes.

The email series is personalized to your role (pregnant person or non-pregnant partner) and synced to your due date. You get the right information at exactly the right time in your journey, so you're not overwhelmed with everything at once. It's like having a guide walking alongside you, telling you what matters this week.

The book gives you all the information upfront in one place. It's perfect if you're someone who likes to read ahead, preview what's coming, or have a physical reference you can flip back to when you need a quick answer at 2 AM. Many people find it helpful to have both—the emails for timely guidance and the book as their go-to resource.

Bottom line: If you like having information at your fingertips or prefer to read material more than once, get the book. If you want just-in-time guidance tailored to your specific role and timeline, the email series is your best bet. And if you want both? Even better.

Mostly, yes. If this is your second or third baby, you already know you can figure things out. But people have found that the book is a good refresher since so much of those first few months becomes a blur once you get out of them.

The information is still useful for perspective and for partners who are catching up. But honestly? If you survived the first 8 weeks, you've proven you can figure things out. The email newsletter might be more useful for ongoing conversation prompts with your partner. If you need a resource to refer back to, or to catch up with, you can order the book.
