Have peace in
postpartum

Short answer: There are financial costs to hosting this course on my website, and there were (significant) time and experience costs to produce this course at all.Long answer: To say I was unprepared for my first postpartum is an understatement.I spent loads of time preparing for my first birth, especially because I desired to give birth naturally and without medication. But I honestly didn't really think about what would occur after the birth.I was completely alone in first postpartum season: my husband did not have paternity leave and was working incredibly long days. My mom and I had a broken relationship. There were no elder women in the church we were attending that had anything helpful to provide me with except, "you'll figure it out eventually."This whole experience was so starkly contrasted to the promises I saw in scripture about children and motherhood, and that lit a fire in me. I sought God for a different way forward in any future pregnancies, and to share with other moms.After completing a postpartum doula certification program, I mapped out what I would do differently next postpartum should God bless us with another child. When He eventually did, I put those things into action and prayed for the Holy Spirit to give me ideas.The ideas He gave me made the second postpartum radically different (for the better).Shortly after, I got the opportunity to mentor two sweet women who were walking through their first pregnancies. I worked with them to structure the information you find in this course in a useful and supportive way.It took 4 months to shape the curriculum, do research, pray, and try things out on my own family before packaging it together in a digestible way. Then, it took another 4 months to create the worksheets and film the videos you see in the course.And now, I maintain the content, add new trainings, interview guest speakers with expertise in certain areas of postpartum and newborn life, and more.

Short answer: Yes and no. I don't use LLMs in anything that I do, but my guess is that asking one like Claude or ChatGPT would give you some of the same information about preparing for postpartum. But... I'm not giving you a checklist and charging you money: I am facilitating a transformation in your wife to help her become who God and your new baby need her to be. A chatbot will never give you that.Long answer: This course includes a ton of really practical steps that you can take to fortify your family and home for the postpartum season. But it also includes revelation for your wife about the spiritual transformation ahead.Becoming a mother is an incredible thing, and in partnership with God, it changes you further into the image of Christ. That is true whether this is her first, second, or seventh baby. There is a transformation that needs to take place through every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum season.LLMs like ChatGPT take your question and use it to search the public domain for relevant information. It spits that information back to you in a semi-organized way that resembles a human conversation.That information it gave you didn’t come from its experience. And information alone is not able to produce transformation.ChatGPT is not and will never be a woman, a wife, or a mom. ChatGPT will never be pregnant, give birth, or raise babies. And ChatGPT will never be made in the image of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, or be able to commune with the Living God.ChatGPT can give you information, but it cannot pray for you and your family. It cannot speak with your wife of the spiritual things that will occur in her heart, mind, and spirit as she holds her baby for the first time, as she beholds her postpartum body, or as she is tasked with being the sole caretaker of a new human life.That is what I am uniquely here to share and facilitate, and you will never get that from ChatGPT.
