Wow, what a year!
So many of you openly shared your fertility and pregnancy journeys, unexpected turns, different approaches on wellbeing, nutrition, fashion, travel and outlook on life (with or without babies). I am so grateful to all of you wanting to be a part of Plnty — either reading along, supporting me in a million different ways or sharing a piece of your journey or knowledge with us!
Plnty exists because navigating fertility, pregnancy, and early motherhood shouldn’t feel like a solo project.
Not fragmented across advice columns, whatsapp groups, appointments, and late-night ChatGPT conversations. Not loud with opinions, but grounded in credible sources and experts and real community with other women.
Plnty is an attempt to build something different — a way through these seasons that feels informed, calm, and confident. A place where nuance is allowed. Where curiosity isn’t rushed. Where you don’t have to justify your questions before you’re met with care.
In 2025, many different voices helped turn that intention into something tangible.
All of you contributing to Plnty brought experience, expertise, honesty, and perspective — not content for content’s sake, but thinking that helps women orient themselves. Together, we shaped The Plnty Edit into more than a publication: a reference point, a place to pause, and a sense of being in good company.
Thank you to my number 1 fan, my incredible husband, and to all of you contributing to Plnty in 2025 — you rock!

Each of you brought something distinct — and that range of voices is not accidental. Plnty is intentionally built at the intersection of wellbeing, identity, work, motherhood, and lived experience. It only works if it reflects and enables the real life of mothers and future mothers.
Plnty is still early — and that’s important to say.
There are many exciting things quietly taking shape for 2026: new formats, deeper expert access, more ways to connect, and spaces (digital and physical) designed to support women not just as mothers, but as whole people moving through demanding seasons of life.
The ambition isn’t scale for scale’s sake.
It’s depth. Continuity. Trust.
There are many voices I’d love to invite into Plnty next year — you can be sure that I’ll reach out to you! And if there’s someone you think belongs in this conversation I want to hear about them, send me a message please:
Plnty is being built deliberately, and in good company.
Happy New Year!

I recently had a miscarriage.
And while I’m not going to write about the details of it here, what it gave me was renewed perspective: a sharp reminder of how enormous this life stage really is.
