Our Story
Mom.ME. was founded by sisters Lauren and Lashay with a group of friends in 2017. When Lauren found out she was pregnant with her first child, she expected a similar experience to her sister LaShay, whose pregnancy the year before was nothing short of a breeze. Instead, Lauren experienced morning sickness that lasted the entire pregnancy, an emergency c-section, trouble with breastfeeding, a colicky baby, and terrible nightmares that kept her up most nights. She felt like she was failing as a parent. So much so that she didn’t want to keep living.
LaShay
Fortunately, because of the support of family, her story changed for the better. Since then, she has learned an immense amount of information about perinatal mood disorders aka "postpartum" that she had no idea was actually A THING!. She’s now a proud mother of 4 (ages 19, 18, 7, and 5). She's also a survivor! She has dedicated her life to helping others overcome maternal mental illnesses (postpartum depression & anxiety, postpartum OCD, postpartum PTSD, postpartum rage, postpartum bi-polar disorder, and postpartum psychosis). Dark days don't last forever with help!

2021
Together, Lauren and LaShay want to help women who feel like a huge wave of challenges are hitting them as a mom, educate them, and provide the support they need to successfully feel more like “ME” again.
