A Letter to the Mama in the Middle of It

Dear Mama,

If you’re reading this while growing a baby, holding a newborn, or learning how to recognize yourself again in the mirror — this is for you.

You’re in the middle of something holy and hard.
Beautiful and exhausting.
And no one really talks about how much you change while everyone else is focused on the baby.

So let us say this first:

You are not behind.
You are not failing.
And your body is not a problem to be solved.

It is doing something extraordinary.

 

To the Mama Learning to Rest

There is no prize for pushing through exhaustion.
No badge for “doing it all.”

Some days, caring for yourself looks like letting your body soften instead of holding it tight.

Soft pajamas that stretch with you — through pregnancy, postpartum, and long after — aren’t indulgent.
They’re permission.

Permission to rest.
Permission to heal.
Permission to be comfortable without apology.

This season asks a lot of you.
You’re allowed to meet it with gentleness.

To the Mama Whose Body Is Changing

Your body is not “before” or “after.”
It is now.

And now deserves clothes that honor it — not hide it.

There is power in choosing pieces that don’t ask you to shrink, suck in, or wait until “later.”
Pieces that move when you move.
That breathe when you need space.
That remind you that comfort and beauty can coexist.

Wide-leg pants that flow instead of cling.
A top that meets you where you are.

This isn’t about covering up.
It’s about showing up — exactly as you are.

To the Mama Stepping Back Into the World

Eventually, you’ll leave the house again.
Maybe slowly. Maybe awkwardly. Maybe with spit-up on your shoulder.

And when you do, you deserve to feel grounded — not rushed, not self-conscious, not like you’re borrowing someone else’s clothes.

Shoes that feel supportive.
Layers that wrap you instead of weighing you down.
A jacket that makes you feel held, not hidden.

These are the small things that whisper,
You’re allowed to take up space here.

To the Mama Who Forgets Herself Sometimes

You don’t need a new body.
You don’t need a “bounce back.”
You don’t need to earn comfort.

You need reminders that you are still you — even as you become more.

At Joey + June, we choose pieces with one question in mind:

Will this help her feel supported in the middle of it?

Not perfect.
Not polished.
Just held.

If something here helps you feel a little more like yourself — softer, stronger, more seen — then it belongs in this season with you.

You are doing sacred work.
And you deserve to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for along the way.

With so much love,
Joey + June
