Next author chat is 12/5: Corinne Low — Having It All
I still have a handful of hardcover books available!
Based on member votes, we’ll make sure to get the 2026 Q1 pick sent out before December holidays so you can get a jump start! Keep your eyes out for the announcement of the full 2026 slate!
Our first (and hopefully not last!) internal coaching cohort kicked off last week and it’s so special! As a participant myself, I already love the experience. And as SOWM founder, I can’t wait to bring more cohort-style and intimate offerings into SOWM for other members!
As always, I’m open to suggestions for what you’d like to see as far as small-group offerings! Reply to this email or send me a DM!
Member Recs
The good stuff, as touted by our members!
GOODS — these cotton kids jammies that can be handed down again and again, these baby priobiotic drops, this sleep timer/alarm clock/white noise machine, this nursery-safe space heater, these element-proof long cuff mittens for littles, and this super toasty and super cute bear balaclava.
RESOURCES — this resource for getting the most (and most out of) your mat leave and this high-yield savings account that decodes parenthood.
RECIPE — this [admittedly not-for-everyone] pickle lemonade.
READ/WATCH — Untitled (the days are long but the years are short)(from experimental artist Ani Liu — 2 min)
