The last three years have been unlike anything I’ve ever experienced as a woman, a mom, or pediatrician. And I know I’m not the only one who’s felt it.
We’ve fought for our kids’ education. Their health. Their emotional awareness.
We’ve fought for our own mental health. For higher pay. For fairness in the workplace.
We’ve fought for our marriages and for our independence.
And yet, even with all the progress we’ve made, we’re still miles from where we want to be. Most of us still struggle every day to walk through the circumstances we face, because we’re overworked and overwhelmed.
In the last few years, I’ve seen hundreds of working moms stream through my pediatrics office and reach out online describing their desperation. They have no idea how to organize the stress of integrating their professional and personal lives.
Add in systemic forces in direct opposition to their success and they stay trapped in their defeat. With no foundation to stand on and no framework to fall back on, it’s almost impossible for them to implement the parenting advice I give them meaningfully or to say yes to the self-care suggestions they see everywhere – much less to have the frank conversations they need to create equity in their households or to schedule prioritizing their own needs.
The modern working mom is stuck.
And that’s why we created the Modern Mamas Club app last year. So moms could start to learn a system and a foundation that would allow them to stop trying to find some elusive work/life balance. But rather a harmony between the two. Where both feel like they get the best of you. And you feel like you bring the best to each area.
This app has led women to be in community, talking to other moms who are going through the same experiences they are. They’ve been downloading lessons about different parts of their centered life, about parenting with equity in their homes, about taking care of their babies and themselves. We’ve had guest speakers come in for our panel discussions in our Momversations that have blown me away.
Seriously, this app has been so chock full of so much goodness.
And we’re about to make it even better.
The boring, behind-the-scenes details are that we’re transferring to a new platform that will give everyone a better experience and will make finding what you’re looking for a lot easier.
But the thing I’m most excited about is something different.
Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books from when you were a kid? If you want the main character to try and climb over the boulder, turn to page 22. If you want them to go around, turn to page 84.
That’s what we’ve cooked up for you in our new app!
There will be daily mental health check-ins each day and you get to respond with how you’re feeling. Based on your answers, if it seems like you’re struggling with resentment towards your partner, you’ll be directed towards resources on that. If you’ve answered that you’re overwhelmed with all the things on your plate, you’ll be directed towards ways to delegate.
As a busy working mom, it’s hard enough when you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or underappreciated. You don’t have time to pour through blogs or video lessons, searching for the things that will help you. With our new app, you get to jump right in exactly where you’re at.
Along with this cool new change, the app will also house all of our podcasts and blogs. It’s all in one place!
You can also book time to talk to experts spanning several different fields–including booking a 1:1 with me, Dr. Whitney! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Because you are worth putting the work into having a life that you love. Having a life that is fulfilling. A life that you want to fully experience.
Let’s build that together!

I know first-hand that working mom life is hard, but I also know it doesn’t have to be impossible.
Trust me. The best way to get unstuck isn’t to work harder. It’s to use a framework that gets real results, no matter what area you need to tackle first.
