Brooklyn, you showed up! 🧡
•
This past Saturday, we joined Poppylist Baby Registry at Parkish for Registry Day Out, a morning of registry building, stroller walks, story time, and plenty of parents-to-be (and little ones) filling up on good food.
•
We loved sharing bites from our nutrition program and chatting with so many of you about what nourishment can look like during pregnancy and postpartum. Your questions, your stories, and your very enthusiastic second helpings made our day. 🥣
•
And thank you to our very own Lisa Michelle Cifuentes and Chiyo collective practitioners for helping us organize and work the event.
•
Huge thank you to Poppylist for bringing this community together, to Parkish for the dreamiest space and to 🌟 THE Tiny Tots Book Club 🌟 for keeping the littlest guests entertained. We were so proud to stand alongside brands like Bobbie, Nanit, BEABA | French Baby Products For The Modern Parent 🇫🇷, The Mom Walk Collective and more.

Chiyo was honored to partner with Clarissa Wei on the book tour for her new postpartum cookbook, Sitting the Month, and we were thrilled to join her for the final stop in New York City at the Museum of Chinese in America!

“Sitting the month” is a postpartum recovery practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where new mothers rest indoors for 30 to 40 days after giving birth. In TCM, childbirth is believed to deplete a mother’s vital energy and blood, leaving her body in a vulnerable, “cold” state. This period of rest is meant to restore, nourish, and warm the body for long-term health.

At the signing, we served guests dishes from Sitting the Month alongside Chiyo’s original tonics. We also spoke with both our and Clarissa’s TCM advisor, the wonderful Dr. Lily. We’re so grateful for the chance to introduce Clarissa’s readers to Chiyo’s nutrition programs and to support her throughout the tour. Thank you, Clarissa! 🤍

And shout out to our wonderful Head of Community and Partnerships, Lisa Michelle Cifuentes for organizing and preparing for the event 👏

One of the most special parts of running Chiyo is what our community trusts us with. Women tell us, often unprompted, about the season around their return to work — that having dinner handled for a few weeks was what let them actually show up. Not because food fixes it. But because being prioritized, even in one small way, matters more than it sounds like it should.
•
We’ve been hearing these stories for years. So over the last few weeks, we turned the camera on ourselves.
•
I’m back and ______, but also ______.
•
Back, But Different started as a debate in one of our own team meetings — whose version of “returning” was honest enough to put on camera. We then interviewed Lily and Caroline, who were living it in real time — two mothers building the work of their lives in more ways than one.
•
So we sat them down and asked them to say the two-sided part out loud. Their real returns, both sides of it, in their own words (see the last few posts!).
•
Now we want to hear yours. One winner gets the suit for the return, whether it’s still ahead of you or you’re already living it — an Argent suit, plus a Chiyo program for the weeks around it.

Balance or a blend? 👇
•
Lily Walla, Founder & CEO of Auggie , doesn’t buy the idea that working moms need balance. What she needs is blend, because people underestimate how much chaos goes into the day to day.
•
Her back to work feeling: ambitious.
Her fuel: other moms. The hype girls, the founders who want you to win, and the venting sessions only a mom friend understands.
•
As Auggie’s motto goes, rising tides lift all ships. 🌊
•
So tell us:
💜 Are you team balance or team blend?
💜 Tag the mom friend you call when it’s all a lot.

There’s a wall between her desk and her children.
•
Lily runs Auggie out of her bedroom. On the other side of that wall, the nanny is with her two boys. She can hear everything. All day. And she has to sit there and not go in.
•
“It’s hard to literally be separated by a wall and not be able to step in.”
•
She doesn’t call what she’s doing balance. She calls it blend. Work gets all of her when she’s working, her boys get all of her when she’s with them — and the wall is where she practices the difference.
•
Nobody builds a company, runs a household, and comes out the other side on willpower alone. Lily didn’t. She came back different.
•
If you’re in the thick of it too — pouring everything into work and family and running on fumes in between — Chiyo is built for exactly that stretch. Link in bio to see what support actually looks like.

The mental load doesn’t clock out.
•
The pediatrician appointment booked between meetings. The snack inventory running in the back of your mind mid presentation. Knowing which kid is out of socks, who has a project due, what’s for dinner. All while doing your actual job. Nobody claps for that part.
•
Caroline said it plainly: the tasks are invisible, the load is real, and there’s “not enough recognition for what they’re doing.”
•
We’d add: there’s not enough seeing it, period. Not until you’ve carried it yourself.
So here’s us, seeing it. Every micro task. Every small, quiet thing you hold together that nobody put in a job description.
•
This one’s for the load that never makes it into the “how was your day” answer. We see you. We’ve got you.
•
Okay, real talk. What’s the one invisible task that lives rent free in your head? Ours is the birthday party RSVP nobody else remembers.
Go.
And if you read all that thinking of someone specific, send it to them.

“Back, But Different” with Chiyo | Hormone Balance, Fertility, Prenatal & Postpartum Meals, The Breadwinners, MilkMate and Auggie

“Every minute matters.”

Caroline’s founder, Patrice, told her that before she had kids. She didn’t really understand it until she came back to lead a sales team with a two year old and a ten month old at home.

Now she counts every one of those minutes. The ones before her first meeting. The ones after pickup. The hundreds of small decisions in between that nobody sees and nobody thanks her for.

She calls it the mental load. So many moms are carrying it, she told us, and almost no one is talking about it.

What makes it lighter? Working mothers backing each other. Permission to keep going. The power of feeling seen.

“I didn’t come back the same. I came back better.”

She came back different. Chiyo helps her come back nourished.

Watch Caroline’s return, then tag a mom who’s carrying more than anyone can see.

We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
