The Mom Room: Trusting Through Infertility, Postpartum & the Noise of Motherhood with Kelsie Schlese

Our bodies. Our timing. Our emotions. Ourselves.In this episode, host Carrie Parker sits down with Kelsie Schlese from @maidentomothertome for a deeply honest conversation about infertility, postpartum mental health, and the quiet pressure mothers carry to “stay positive” while navigating uncertainty.Kelsey shares her fertility journey, including what it meant to release control and shift toward trusting to conceive .. not as a mindset hack, but as a relational process with her body and nervous system. Together, they explore how language shapes our fertility and motherhood experiences, why online communities can either harm or heal, and how intentional use of social media can support (rather than drain) mental health.They also name the realities many mothers feel but rarely say out loud: seasonal depression, postpartum anxiety, and mom rage .... not as personal failures, but as nervous-system responses to overwhelm and isolation.This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften self-blame, and remember that motherhood was never meant to be navigated alone.If you’re craving more trust, less noise, and a community that meets you where you are .. this conversation is for you.Follow @madeintomotherhood for more honest motherhood conversations.Looking for community?
