Summer Body Check-In: What Is Your Body Asking For Right Now
Hint: If you said more downtime, you're on the right track Every summer, the noise gets louder. “Lose the mom bod.” “Get your pre-baby body back.” “Bikini ready in six weeks.” “Drop the weight before vacation.” It shows up in ads, social posts, wellness programs, and casual comments that may seem harmless on the surface but carry a familiar message underneath: your body is a project, and summer is the deadline (instead of how I like to think about—your body serves a purpose a

What Does Thriving Actually Feel Like?
Hint: It’s Not What Instagram Shows You If you search “thriving” on Instagram right now, here’s what you’ll find: a woman in matching linen, golden-hour light, green juice in hand, abs visible, children perfectly behaved in the background. And you’ll feel (even if just for a split second), like you are NOT thriving. As the founder of Momgevity and a real mom myself: I want you to know, that’s not thriving. That’s a content strategy. Thriving is a deeply personal, physiologica

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, breathe, and move your body. Momgevity retreat, California Coast Moms are exceptionally good at reading a room. You can sense when your child is about to melt down before a single tear falls. You know when the house is too quiet, when someone is hungry, when your partner is off, when the calendar is too full.

You Don't Have to Earn Your Summer
What if this summer isn’t about becoming someone new, but coming home to yourself? Summer has a way of making women feel like they are supposed to arrive as a finished product: more toned, more energized, more social, more confident, more glowing, more “ready.” Little known secret—we’re never really fully ready so stop waiting. Ready for the swimsuit. Ready for the photos. Ready for the vacation. Ready for the beach days. Ready for the season where everyone seems to be outsid

Graduation Season: Welcome to the next chapter, Mom. You've earned it.
MOMGEVITY BY LAREINE CHABUT JUN 05, 2026 Sofia at elementary graduation As graduation season approaches, I’ve found myself reflecting on my own daughters and the milestones they’ve recently stepped into — one graduating from college, the other from high school. Like so many moms, I felt the joy, pride, emotion, and disbelief that comes with watching your children cross such meaningful thresholds. But as I sat with those feelings, I realized graduation is not only about what o

A Mother's Day Guide to Showing Up for Yourself, Minus the Guilt
Mother’s Day has a way of bringing up a lot at once. There is the love, the gratitude, the sweet moments, and the celebration. But there is also the reality that motherhood often comes with an invisible pressure to be everything for everyone, all the time. Somewhere along the way, many mothers start believing that needing rest, support, space, health, joy, or time for themselves means they are taking something away from the people they love. But I want to remind you of someth

Heading into a Hormone-Smart Summer with Dr. Amersi
Summer is the season of sunshine, travel, pool days, late nights, family plans, and hopefully a little more fun. But it is also a season where routines shift — and when routines shift, your body notices. That does not mean anything is wrong. It simply means your hormones are responsive. They are constantly listening to your sleep, stress, hydration, nutrition, movement, and environment. The more you understand how they work, the better you can support your body through a busy

Summer is right around the corner, and while everyone is talking about trips, sunshine, graduations, beach days, and busy calendars, your body might be quietly asking for something a little different: attention.

Blood Tests That Actually Matter
with Dr. Grace Tassa, MD If you’ve ever looked at your bloodwork and thought, “Okay… but what does this actually mean for my life?” — you’re not alone.

The Spring Glow-Up That Actually Lasts (No Products Required) Every year around this time, the same narrative shows up: new season, new routine, new products, new everything.
