Welcome to The Hormonal Mama—your honest, heartfelt, occasionally sassy corner of the internet where reproductive wellness meets real life. Whether you’re knee-deep in the chaos of TTC, navigating the high-stakes drama of infertility treatments, wrangling postpartum hormones, or giving side-eye to perimenopause (hi, it’s me 🙃), this blog is here to help you feel seen, supported, and a little more sane.

Born from what was once a podcast and an infertility coaching practice, The Hormonal Mama is now one of two blog arms of Rooted in Bloom—bringing along all the knowledge, empathy, and hard-earned experience that started it all. The second blog, Esthetician’s Day Off, focuses on skincare, bodywork, and all things spa and wellness—so if you’re into glowing skin, muscle health, and product deep-dives, you’ll want to check that one out, too.

Your guide on this wild hormonal ride is me—Cara B., a Reproductive Wellness Coach with training in Integrative Wellness Coaching, a licensed and board-certified massage therapist, licensed esthetician, and nationally certified continuing education provider through NCBTMB. I’ve lived every messy, magical, maddening phase I write about: a long, lonely infertility journey, a high-risk pregnancy, a bumpy postpartum road—and now, the ever-enlightening joy 🙄 of perimenopause.

Here you’ll find info-packed posts about reproductive hormones, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, nutrition, emotional wellness, skincare, massage, and more. It’s equal parts education and empathy—with a little humor, a dash of sarcasm, and a whole lot of “you are not alone.”

So grab a cozy beverage (or a heating pad), and let’s talk about the body, the hormones, the hope, and everything in between.
