My Postpartum Pal Founder chats with Faith Jessie about new app that helps mom during the postpartum period.
Watch on 11 AliveMy Postpartum Pal is a free emotional wellness app designed specifically for postpartum mothers. It offers a private, low-pressure space where a mother can talk, vent, listen to supportive audio, check in with herself, celebrate something good, or receive a little encouragement.
Unlike many maternal wellness apps, My Postpartum Pal does not ask mothers to track more information, reach another milestone, or purchase a subscription. It was created to feel like a gentle friend in her pocket when the people she loves are unavailable or when she does not know how to explain what she is feeling.
Inside the App
Here for every kind of moment
The home screen meets a mother wherever she is.
What do you need right now?
A simple grid helps her name what she's feeling.
Listen to Pal
Audio check-ins for when she can't talk — Pal talks to her.
Creator story
My Postpartum Pal was created by Kenya Jackson-Saulters, an author, consultant, facilitator, creative strategist, and Black queer mother.
After navigating IVF, pregnancy loss, a C-section, postpartum preeclampsia, and the emotional realities of new motherhood, Kenya understood how isolating postpartum life could feel. She created My Postpartum Pal for the moments when a mother is awake in a dark room, holding a baby, and needs somewhere safe to put what she is feeling.
Her work centers emotional wellness, connection, nature, belonging, and the creation of accessible tools that help people feel supported in real life.
“I created My Postpartum Pal because I knew what it felt like to need someone in the moments between the moments.”
