2. PPD and PPA Awareness Workbook (22 pages)

$14.99 separately

A plain-language workbook for postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety: how to recognize them, how they differ from baby blues, risk factors, a symptom check-in (not a diagnostic tool), scripts for talking to your healthcare provider, and a support network mapping exercise. Designed to reduce shame and increase the likelihood of seeking help early.

3. New Identity Workbook (20 pages)

$14.99 separately

For matrescence — the process of becoming a mother, which is as significant as adolescence and almost never talked about. A values re-examination (what matters now vs what mattered before), an identity inventory (what I am grieving, what I am gaining, what I am becoming), permission pages (you do not have to feel only gratitude), and a vision for the self that exists alongside the mother.

4. 6-Week Physical Recovery Tracker (18 pages)

$14.99 separately

A week-by-week physical recovery log for the first 6 weeks postpartum: pain and discomfort log (location, intensity, what helped), pelvic floor awareness pages, sleep hours, nutrition check-in, movement when cleared, and a 6-week review to bring to your postpartum check-up.

Who this is for

The postpartum period involves physical recovery, emotional upheaval, identity transformation, and the hardest sleep deprivation most women will ever experience — all simultaneously. This toolkit addresses each layer separately because they require different things.

The journal holds the daily emotional reality. The PPD and PPA workbook addresses the most under-screened postpartum health crisis. The identity workbook holds the matrescence process that our culture has no language for. The physical recovery tracker holds the body, which is too often forgotten once the baby is healthy.

For postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, or postpartum psychosis, please contact your healthcare provider immediately. This toolkit supports awareness and self-care — it does not replace clinical diagnosis or treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the Postpartum Toolkit?

Four printable PDFs: the 34-page Postpartum Journal (daily check-in, identity prompts, baby blues awareness, needs inventory), a 22-page PPD and PPA Awareness Workbook (plain-language guide, symptom check-in, scripts for getting help), a 20-page New Identity Workbook (matrescence process, values re-examination, identity inventory), and an 18-page 6-Week Physical Recovery Tracker (pain log, pelvic floor awareness, week-by-week review). ~94 pages total.

What is matrescence?

Matrescence is the developmental process of becoming a mother — coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael and brought to wider attention by Dr. Alexandra Sacks. Like adolescence, it involves a profound identity shift: neurologically, hormonally, relationally, and psychologically. Unlike adolescence, it is rarely acknowledged, which is why so many new mothers feel confused by the grief and disorientation they feel alongside the love.

Is the PPD workbook a diagnostic tool?

No. It is an awareness and preparation tool. The symptom check-in is designed to help you recognize and name what you are experiencing, not to diagnose. Diagnosis and treatment require a licensed healthcare provider. The workbook includes scripts for talking to your doctor or midwife.

When should I start using this toolkit?

Any time from birth through the first year postpartum. The physical recovery tracker is most useful in the first 6 weeks. The journal, PPD workbook, and identity workbook are useful at any point in the postpartum period.

How much do these cost separately?

Each single printable is $14.99. Four together would be $59.96. The toolkit is $27.99, so you save $31.97.

How is it delivered?

Instant digital download. Once payment is confirmed, you get a single ZIP with all 4 PDFs.

What paper size does it print on?

Both US Letter (8.5 by 11 in) and A4 are included in every PDF.

Designed by the Journalyn team. We design printable journals for women across life stages. The identity workbook draws on matrescence research (Raphael, Sacks). The PPD awareness workbook draws on published postpartum mental health research. This toolkit is a self-care system, not a clinical intervention.
