So many resources focus only on the early crisis moments after birth. But what happens when the check-ups end, the dust settles, and the world expects you to be “back to normal”?
That’s often when the loneliness and overwhelm hit hardest.
Momma Chill exists for that moment. We’re a trauma informed, postpartum aware, workforce development & postpartum recovery channel for mothers returning to society — after birth, after trauma, after caregiving.
Whether you’re a mom months or years past birth, or someone navigating a major life transition and still trying to find yourself again. Here, you don’t have to pretend. You can come as you are. And we’ll reimagine what the next chapter looks like, together.
Our Vision
About Me
Hello!
I am Louise Song, founder of Momma Chill, mom of two, and someone who knows what it feels like when life changes and it’s time to rewrite who you are and how you show up.
My Journey
After the birth of my daughters, I found myself navigating not only sleepless nights and endless responsibilities, but also the silent weight of postpartum depression. The hardest part wasn’t just the depression itself, it was knowing something wasn’t quite right, that this wasn’t like any other challenge I could charge through.
Something fundamental in me was changing.
I felt the pressure to bounce back, to re-enter the world as if nothing had changed, while inside I felt the weight of an atmospheric storm— something building, integrating new with old.
Healing and finding the newest evolution of myself taught me that growth in any season of life isn’t about hustling harder or doing what I always did — carrying a “charge forward” attitude I know so many of us hold. It’s about practicing radical acceptance and re-finding our strengths, giving ourselves permission to be seen, supported, and fully human. Because this is the human experience, we all share.
And there is no shame in it.
Embracing the beauty of letting go allowed me to see that we are all holding far more than we recognize. This is what led me to start Momma Chill. A space I know we all need.
A place where we can exhale, process, rebuild our confidence, and find our next phase of evolution without the pressure to “bounce back.”
My Background
My path has always lived at the intersection of ambition and purpose.
As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I grew up learning how to navigate two worlds. Balancing cultures, languages, and expectations while finding my own voice somewhere in between.
That experience taught me early on how to move between identities, hold complexity, and build belonging wherever I landed.
I began my career in advocacy as a Victim Advocate with the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, supporting trauma survivors in Oakland, California. There, I met people during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Learning to meet them where they are, hold space for pain and grief, and support their journey moving from Victim to Survivor.
Working one-on-one within the complexities of the U.S. criminal justice system shaped how I understand individuality, community, and the messy middle where systems, policy, and humanity intersect.
My lens of navigating between worlds led me to study International Relations and Political Science at UC Davis and later into global development consulting. I worked on USAID proposals advancing women’s economic empowerment and workforce development in emerging economies.
I saw how structural change at scale can transform not just individuals — but entire communities and economies.
When I pursued my MBA at William & Mary, I carried that same sense of purpose. As a McGlothlin Leadership Scholar and MBA Class President (while pregnant with my first daughter), I learned that leadership and motherhood don’t cancel each other out - they can, in fact, amplify each other.
At Amazon, I led billion-dollar customer experience strategies & developed multi-year product visions, while guiding individuals and teams through radical restructuring and change.
During this chapter, I had my second daughter and learned firsthand both the resilience and the cost of being a mom in spaces that expect you to show up at full speed.
Each chapter - Advocacy, Development, Leadership, Corporate Innovation, and Motherhood gave me new tools and deeper perspective.
Together, they shaped my vision for Momma Chill, a space where mothers don’t just survive postpartum, but find ways to heal, thrive, and reimagine what’s possible — for themselves, their families, and the systems around them.
And should you find yourself, as a human being, in the midst of change or transition, please know this space is for you too.
Here, we honor all forms of evolution — and the courage it takes to soften, rebuild, and rise again.
