My Journey

After the birth of my daughters, I wasn’t only navigating sleepless nights and endless responsibility. I was carrying the quiet weight of postpartum depression. The hardest part wasn’t just the depression itself. It was realizing something wasn’t right, and that this wasn’t a season I could simply charge through.

I felt the pressure to bounce back, to return to myself and to work as if nothing had changed, while inside something fundamental was still shifting. That season taught me that growth is not always about pushing harder. Sometimes it begins with acceptance, with naming what is true, and allowing ourselves to be seen and supported.

Healing invited me to reconnect with my strengths in a different way, not as a performance, but as a path back to steadiness.

It taught me that softness is not the opposite of resilience. Sometimes it is what makes resilience possible.

Momma Chill was born from that realization: a space where mothers can exhale, rebuild confidence, and step into what comes next without the pressure to bounce back before they’re ready.

My Background

My path has always lived at the intersection of ambition and purpose. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I learned early how to move between worlds, hold complexity, and build belonging in the in-between.

That perspective shaped every chapter that followed. I began in advocacy, supporting trauma survivors as a Victim Advocate, and later moved into nonprofit strategy and international development work focused on women’s economic empowerment and workforce development, including USAID proposals designed to expand opportunity at scale.

At William & Mary, I pursued my MBA while pregnant with my first daughter, serving as a McGlothlin Leadership Scholar and MBA Class President. That season made something unmistakably clear to me: leadership and motherhood do not cancel each other out. They can deepen each other.

Later, at Amazon, I led multi-year customer experience strategy and product work, guiding complex initiatives through change and ambiguity while navigating the birth of my second daughter. Those years deepened both my systems lens and my belief that women need support that is not only compassionate, but thoughtfully designed, practical, and built to last.

Each chapter: advocacy, development, leadership, corporate innovation, and motherhood, gave me new tools and a deeper perspective. Together, they shaped Momma Chill: a space for mothers navigating postpartum recovery, re-entry, identity shifts, and what comes next. A space where mothers don’t just survive postpartum, but find ways to heal, thrive, and reimagine what’s possible.

And if you find yourself 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.
