ABOUT THE BOOK

Momma Milestones

Motherhood has milestones, too.

In Momma Milestones, Kya Stanley creates a warm, faith-infused guided journal for mothers navigating the emotional, physical, and deeply personal first year after birth. Drawing candidly from her own postpartum experience—including the moments when exhaustion, anxiety, identity shifts, and postpartum depression made motherhood feel heavier than she expected—Stanley invites readers to slow down, check in, and give words to what they are carrying.

Organized around key stages from birth and coming home to feeding, relationships, identity, mom guilt, faith, and baby’s first birthday, the journal blends personal reflections with gentle prompts and generous writing space. The result feels less like an instruction manual and more like an honest conversation with a trusted friend.

Momma Milestones reminds new mothers that while everyone celebrates a baby’s firsts, mothers are growing, changing, healing, and reaching milestones of their own.
