Women often carry many roles—caregiver, professional, partner, and more—which can make it easy to put their own needs last. During National Nutrition Month, it’s a meaningful time to pause and refocus on how nourishing your body supports not only physical health, but emotional and mental well-being as well.

March is a threshold month.
Not fully winter.
Not quite spring.

It is the space in between — and psychologically, that matters.

In places like Billings, March can feel especially contradictory. One day brings sunlight and melting snow. The next brings wind and cold that reminds you winter isn’t done yet. This push and pull mirrors what many of us feel internally.

At our practice, we honor February by leaning into its themes of heart, connection, and reflection. We recognize the importance of celebrating diverse histories and cultures, nurturing heart health—both physical and emotional—and creating space for meaningful relationships. This month is a gentle reminder to slow down and check in with ourselves and one another.

Happy New Year! January often feels like a time to reset—but for moms, it can also bring a mix of excitement and overwhelm. Between returning to routines, managing post-holiday chaos, and thinking about resolutions, it’s easy to let our mental health take a back seat. This year, I’m making mental wellness my priority, and I want to share some ways you can too.

December can feel magical, but it can also bring extra stress for moms. Between holiday plans, family traditions, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to feel stretched thin.

Struggling with mental health is not a gendered experience—it's a human one. While Men’s Health Awareness Month highlights the unique pressures men face, it’s important to remember that mental health challenges can affect anyone, regardless of gender. We all experience stress, fear, loss, change, and moments of overwhelm. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness, and no one should feel alone in their struggle. Whether through therapy, community, loved ones, or professional care, we all deserve understanding, compassion, and access to the help we need.

October is recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to gently honor the babies who are no longer with us and the families who carry their memory in their hearts. For many, this type of loss can feel invisible — unspoken, misunderstood, or met with silence. Yet the grief is real, deep, and life-changing.

At Montana Therapy for Moms, we want to acknowledge that this grief is not something to “move on” from. It becomes part of a parent’s story — one woven with love, longing, and sometimes pain. Parents may feel sadness, anger, guilt, or isolation, and partners, siblings, grandparents, and friends also feel the ripple effects of this loss. When support is missing, the weight can feel even heavier.

As we move into September—a month that often signals fresh starts with new school years and shifting routines—it’s important to pause and shine a light on maternal mental health. The transition into motherhood, whether during pregnancy or postpartum, can be beautiful and fulfilling, but it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges.

August 1–7 marks World Breastfeeding Week, a global initiative that raises awareness about the many benefits of breastfeeding—for babies, parents, and communities. While it highlights the importance of breastmilk as nourishment and a foundation for early bonding, this week is also an opportunity to honor all feeding journeys, including those that don’t involve breastfeeding. Whether a parent feeds through pumping, donor milk, formula, or a combination, the core values remain the same: connection, care, and informed choice. World Breastfeeding Week reminds us to create space for education and advocacy while holding space for inclusivity, acknowledging that every family's path is valid and worthy of support.

Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur after childbirth, especially when the birth experience is perceived as traumatic. While Postpartum Depression (PPD) has gained more attention in recent years, postpartum PTSD remains less discussed—yet it's just as real and just as serious.

It’s estimated that up to 9% of women experience PTSD following childbirth, and even more may have some trauma symptoms without meeting the full criteria for a diagnosis.

Every June, the world comes alive with vibrant colors, joyous celebrations, and an overwhelming sense of unity as we observe Pride Month. This annual event is not just a colorful parade of rainbow flags and elaborate floats; it’s a meaningful commemoration of the resilience, history, and contributions of the LGBTQ community. Originating from the Stonewall Riots of 1969, Pride Month serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle for equality and the ongoing fight against discrimination and injustice faced by LGBTQ individuals globally. It’s a time for reflection, education, and celebration, underscoring the importance of inclusivity in our society.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on emotional well-being and remind ourselves—and each other—that it’s okay to ask for support. For moms, this message couldn’t be more important.

Whether you're caring for a newborn, chasing toddlers, managing school schedules, or balancing work and home life, motherhood often comes with invisible weight. The constant demands, the lack of sleep, the pressure to be everything to everyone—it’s a lot. And yet, so many moms push through silently, putting their own needs last.

Mother's Day—a day set aside to honor the unique contributions of mothers and maternal figures—resonates deeply across cultures and generations. As families come together to express their love and gratitude, the significance of this celebration transcends mere commercialism. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices, nurturing, and unwavering support that mothers provide. From its historical roots to contemporary practices, Mother's Day encapsulates a rich tapestry of emotions, customs, and economic impacts. This blog post delves into the multifaceted nature of Mother's Day, exploring its historical background, cultural significance, modern commercialization and gift trends, and its economic impact in today's society.

As we step into the month of April, it’s essential to shed light on a topic that often goes unspoken yet affects countless families: caesarean abdominal births. Each year, millions of babies are brought into the world via C-section, and while this method of delivery can be life-saving, it is surrounded by a mix of perceptions, misconceptions, and sometimes stigma. This month, we aim to raise awareness and provide a platform for education and understanding around caesarean births.

Every April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) serves as a crucial time to raise awareness about sexual violence, advocate for survivors, and promote prevention efforts. One of the most significant days within SAAM is the SAAM Day of Action, observed on the first Tuesday of April. This day is dedicated to amplifying conversations about sexual violence and mobilizing communities to act.

March marks Women's History Month, a time when we reflect on the countless contributions of women throughout history and recognize their ongoing struggle for equality and justice. It's a month dedicated to honoring the trailblazers, innovators, and everyday heroes who have shaped our world. But why is Women's History Month so essential? And who were the women who set this movement into motion?

Breaking the Silence: Addressing the Stigma of Miscarriages

Miscarriage, defined as the loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week, is a deeply personal experience that many families endure. It is estimated that 10-20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, yet societal stigma often silences those who experience this profound loss. This blog aims to shed light on the stigma surrounding miscarriages, explore the unique experiences of different families, provide communication strategies, and offer resources for support and advocacy.
