Dear Mama, Please Don’t Forget Her…

From a new mother, still learning, still healing, still remembering myself.
Becoming a mother is the most beautiful kind of breaking.
It breaks your body, your heart, your sleep, your plans—
but it also breaks you open in the most profound, tender, unimaginable way.
Since having my baby, I’ve realized something that I never understood before.
It is so, so easy to forget who you were.
To forget the girl who once laughed without checking the clock.
The woman who took her time.
The soul who needed stillness, beauty, rest, softness.
The “you” before the diapers and feedings and laundry and dishes.
I know now… how quickly we disappear into everyone else’s needs.
And I also know, now more than ever, that we can’t keep living like that.
Mama, You Are Not Just the Giver. You Are Still the Woman.
Yes, you are strong. Yes, you are selfless. Yes, you are holding it down in ways no one sees.
But you are also tired.
You are overwhelmed.
You are aching to be held, to be seen, to be asked:
“How are you doing, really?”
You do not have to be everything to everyone.
You are allowed to be someone to yourself, too.
Take the Pause. Choose the Reset. Ask for the Help.
You were never meant to carry it all alone.
You don’t get a medal for burnout.
There is no award for silent suffering.
Your soul deserves as much nurturing as your children do.
And that nurturing—it starts with the smallest “yes” to yourself.
At Peachy’s, we don’t just offer beauty services.
We offer sacred spaces for mothers to come home… to themselves.
Let Us Hold You the Way You Hold Everyone Else
These aren’t just treatments. They are prayers in motion.
Gentle touches. Quiet moments. A place to breathe again.
1. The Peachy Mama Reset
A full-body detox and calming head spa to melt away the mental load and help you finally exhale.
2. Her Moment of Grace
A soul-soothing facial and scalp treatment made for deep, quiet healing—because you deserve more than surface-level care.
3. The Divine Mama Facial
To bring your radiance back to the surface. Because you deserve to feel seen… and to see yourself again.
4. The Queen’s Contour & Soft Glam Mama
Because you’re still in there. The woman who loved how she looked. Let her shine again.
You Are Worthy of Love Without Doing Anything
You don’t need to earn your rest.
You don’t need to explain your exhaustion.
You don’t need to wait for permission to take care of yourself.
Motherhood is a miracle—but so are you.
If You’re Reading This, I Hope You Know:
It’s okay to cry in the shower.
It’s okay to miss your old self.
It’s okay to love your children more than life and still wish for five minutes alone.
You are not broken. You are becoming.
And you are not alone.
Some Gentle Reminders, Mama:
• Drink a glass of water… or wine......just for you.
• Step outside and feel the sun on your skin.
• Let someone else help.
• Don’t wait to feel “ready” to book the care you deserve.
• You’re allowed to rest before you reach your breaking point.
Affirmations for the Woman Within the Mother:
I am allowed to be tired and still be a good mother.
I deserve to feel beautiful, rested, and loved.
I choose to care for myself with the same grace I give to others.
I am not lost. I am layered. I am more.
I remember her… and I will return to her.
I am not alone. I am enough. I am still me.
Come find yourself again at Peachy’s.
This Mother’s Day, let us care for you—like you care for the whole world.
With love,
A new mama, and your forever friend,
Stephanie
