About Me

Hi! I’m Karlie. 👋🏼

I’m a wife, mama, and born and raised Texan. I’m passionate about Jesus, motherhood, mental/emotional health, holistic wellness, writing, and so much in between.

Becoming a mother has been the greatest honor I’ll ever know. It also surfaced so much that I had no idea that I needed to process, deal with, unlearn, and learn. I started Be Still & Know Motherhood to share what I’m learning and what’s been put on my heart — in hopes to encourage other mamas. I want to disrupt society’s lies about motherhood and dare to be misunderstood while raising children to become whole, healthy adults. I believe that mothers need to feel safe, seen, known, and supported — in general — but especially during the seasons of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The world we live in today is not set up to be what mothers need, so I’m here to stand in the gap. My hope is that I can be a safe, supportive person to hold mothers and help navigate postpartum and matrescence.

My educational background includes: BA in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington and additional education/certifications in birth and postpartum care, infant and child development, attachment focused sleep, maternal mental health, positive discipline education, breastfeeding,  and holistic health and wellness.
