Take the VERY BEST care of your mental health as you become a Mama
INTRODUCING:
My Lighter Motherhood
The Prenatal Program Every Expecting Mama Needs to Nurture Her Mental Health and KEEP it healthy... ALL the way through postpartum
Sign up nowPrepare YOURSELF for your biggest life change
Even the happiest changes bring about stress.
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are vulnerable times for our mental health.
You can learn to stop stress in its tracks as you experience massive changes to your sleep, mood, end energy, and the curve-ball-like struggles that new Mamas face.
You can do this by preparing yourself in a way that goes WAY deeper than knowledge (your baby classes don't teach you this).
This is the prep for baby experience that’s not about baby at all… It’s about YOU!
There are some incredible supports out there to help us feel prepared for this huge life change! But, have you noticed...
In pregnancy...
...MOST of the prenatal care we receive isfocused on baby and our physical health
...MOST of the items we put on our baby registry are items for baby
...MOST of us prepare by learning about what we'll need for baby and how to take care of them in the early weeks
...We set our nurseries and home to create a welcoming place for baby
In the newborn stage...
...friends and family will focus on your baby
We get it! Your baby is so loved and will be ADORABLE.
But some guests may not think to ask if you're actually up for visitors and will put most of the focus on the baby.
They may have no clue how to help make this easier for you.
...your baby will have appointments to make sure they are thriving.
Some providers may quickly ask for their documentation: "how are YOU doing?" but not have much capacity for a bigger conversation.
Notice a trend here, Mama?
The way we have been preparing for motherhood has forgotten
about one key person... YOU!
The My Lighter Motherhood Program was created to help set YOURSELF up to feel better in the moments you need it most, so that you have an easier time in the newborn stage and beyond.

"This program has led to really good conversations with people in my life and with my partner. We are talking about things we have never talked about.
I feel empowered to enter this next stage of my life with less anxiety and more confidence."
- Erika, Mom to be.
When your emotional health thrives in the newborn stage, you can actually soak in this time like you've always imagined.
I have seen too many Mamas:
- feel blindsided by the impact of this huge change (on their identity, relationships and routine. Their usual coping strategies aren't always doable in the newborn stage)
- experience mental health challenges after birth and in the postpartum stage
- feel like sleep deprivation ruins their newborn experience
- lose themselves in motherhood by accident
They're managing the challenges that come with this time while exhausted, emotional, and physically healing.
All of this sabotages their desires to enjoy this precious time with our incredible new addition.
My Lighter Motherhood was born to change this.
We can prepare better. I just know it. (And the research supports it).
Motherhood just got a whole lot lighter.
It's the best time EVER to be a First Time Mom.
Out with the old way..
- Stressing about the sleep deprivation you'll experience
- Worrying about the overwhelming emotions you might feel
- Wondering how you'll function with less sleep
- Hoping you'll magically flow into motherhood (without the energy tools to help you do that)
- Feeling like you're just going to have to "get through" the newborn stage (and possibly struggle through it)
...In with your lighter way!
- Creating HEALTHY expectations about sleep, and confidently managing less
- Moving through fourth trimester feelings faster
- Protecting your energy in the newborn stage
- Flowing through motherhood (with the tools to back it up)
- Boosting your own mood and energy in the moments you need it most
- Being the PRESENT, SELF-CONNECTED, MENTALLY HEALTHY mom you're DESTINED to be
Enter a new era of motherhood
You have a magical opportunity here to prepare YOURSELF in a whole NEW WAY.
A new ERA of motherhood is here.

A truly innovative experience. It's the PERFECT add-on to the prenatal classes you're already planning to take.
We don't cover the typical things you'll be learning in your prenatal class.
This program DOES NOT cover how to take care of your baby (e.g., breastfeeding, infant sleep).

Meet your guide
Hi! I'm Dr. Emma Nagy.
Call me Emma, please. I’m here for the best friend vibes!
I'm on a mission to help more Mamas feel their best as they become mothers and enjoy this time like they've always imagined.
I have my PhD in Mental Health Promotion, which means that I specialize in understanding the layers and pathways that can impact our mental health and optimize our mental wellbeing. There are many facets within our internal and external environments that can impact how we experience the newborn stage. It's a vulnerable time for our mental health. This program includes SEVERAL KEY layers to help you set yourself up to have the best possible chances of thriving through this incredible time in your life.
I have over 13 years of experience as a health researcher, am a peer-reviewed published author, and throughout my career, I have gathered a wealth of knowledge in maternal and child health.
I am a proud mama of two boys and I LOVE motherhood. It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received in this lifetime. I know some moments in motherhood are hard, but the main frequency I consciously tap into in motherhood every single day is pure, unconditional love. Becoming a mother has opened me up to feel, learn from and heal more than I can articulate.
I love spending time with my boys, laughing and appreciating every day life with my husband. I have a soft spot for travel, home design, and creating fun memories with friends and family (usually over delicious food).
I practice everything I preach. Daily.
I hope you receive more benefits than you ever thought possible from your time in this program.
Your experience in the newborn stage doesn't have to be so hard
