Hi friends,
After a full week of solo parenting two small humans (survival mode: activated), I’m finally resurfacing and playing some catch-up on work. If you’ve ever tried to write an email while a toddler yells “MOMMMM I NEED A SNACK” for the 8th time in 12 minutes—you get it.
Thanks for being here, and for your patience as I emerge from the toy-strewn trenches. Let’s dive in.
Product Round-Up: The Guide to Postpartum Fitness
I'm curating a story designed to empower new moms to embrace their post-baby bodies through fitness. If you have athletic wear, shoes, gear, subscriptions, or other products that help motivate new moms to work out and get to know their new bodies, I’d love to feature your product! Include everything from running and Pilates to yoga, and more. Please, no supplements or protein powders.

Now Booking: Motherhood Identity Series
In our ongoing Motherhood Identity Series, we explore the nuanced, often unspoken shifts that happen when women become mothers—how identity evolves, careers pivot, values realign, and ambition takes new shape.
We’ve had the honor of featuring model Karlie Kloss, actress and advocate Mayim Bialik, Peloton instructors Selena Samuela & Kiersten Ferguson, author and economist Emily Oster, and influential voices like Neha Ruch, Rachael Sullivan, and Paige O'Connell.
If you represent a founder, creator, leader, or public figure with a compelling perspective on identity in motherhood, we’d love to hear from you.
Pitch me at lindsay@milaandjomedia.com: we’re always looking for thoughtful, honest voices to feature.
