Letters to the mothers we once were.

Motherhood changes us slowly, suddenly, and sometimes in ways we can only understand once we’ve lived beyond them.

Dear Past Me is a collection of letters written by mothers to earlier versions of themselves. To the mother who was struggling. The mother who was scared. The mother who thought she should know what she was doing. The mother who kept going when she had nothing left.

Written with the perspective that only comes from looking back, these letters hold the words we wish we could have heard then.

Perhaps, somewhere among them, you’ll find one that feels like it was written to you.

dear past me.

Write your letter. Share the perspective you couldn't see yet, the kindness you wish
someone had offered, or simply the words she needed to hear. Your letter may one
day become exactly what another mother needs to read.

Share your letter

we saved you a seat.

Stories, shared wisdom and conversations for the many seasons of motherhood.

Thank you! Your seat has been saved.
