In 2026, we begin our mission: to grow a movement of women who see emotional preparation as a non-negotiable part of motherhood.
Mothers warn other mothers about Postpartum.
BUT HERE’S THE CATCH — NO ONE TELLS YOU HOW TO ACTUALLY PREPARE.
Normalizing and prioritizing mental health preparation as a standard part of pregnancy
Pregnancy Pods
therapist, mom of three, and advocate for maternal mental health.
I'm Aly Simons
Pregnancy Pod was born from that belief: a safe, proactive space where driven, educated women can build emotional readiness for motherhood — without stigma, guilt, or judgment.
I thought I had prepared for everything — the classes, the birth plan, the baby gear — but Mentally Prepped 101 was the piece I didn’t know I was missing.
Aly helped me understand what emotional readiness actually looks like and gave me tools I still use every day. I feel more confident, calm, and connected to myself as a mom.”

As someone who’s always been in control, the uncertainty of pregnancy really threw me. This workshop gave me language for what I was feeling — and permission to not have it all figured out.
It wasn’t therapy, but it felt deeply therapeutic. I walked away with real strategies, not just advice.”

I’ve read every book and followed every expert, but Mentally Prepped 101 helped me actually apply what I was learning.
Aly bridges the gap between science and soul — she makes mental health approachable, not intimidating. I wish every expecting mom had access to this.”

I signed up thinking it would just be a nice extra thing to do before baby came. Instead, it completely reframed how I see support and self-care.
I didn’t realize how much I was trying to ‘handle it all’ until I learned what preparing emotionally really means. Now I actually feel ready — not just organized.”

This workshop made me feel seen. Aly gets what modern motherhood feels like — the pressure, the expectations, the silent fears.
The space she created was judgment-free and empowering. I left with practical tools, a calmer mind, and a completely different level of self-compassion.”
