For mothers living in the in-between…
The quiet pauses, the unfinished sentences, and the moments we’re still trying to make sense of.
It’s a home for modern motherhood. The messy, joyful, overwhelming, culturally shaped, and always evolving.
Ellipsis explores the intersection of maternal health, pop culture, social media, and the lived experiences of millennial and Gen Z mothers.
Making sense of motherhood in the algorithm age.
The motherhood we experience today is unlike any generation before us — shaped by algorithms, expectations, aesthetic trends, pop culture, wellness trends, celebrity influence, and the very real systems that support (or fail) us and shifting societal pressures. Ellipsis is where we untangle all of that.
This passion grew from a desire to bridge the gap between what we see online and what we actually live.
To analyze the culture, dig into the research, and speak honestly about what motherhood really feels like today.
I am not here to tell mothers how to parent. I’m here to look at motherhood as a cultural, emotional, and social phenomenon. One that deserves critical thinking, compassion, and context.
This is not a “how-to mom” space. This is a “why-is-motherhood-like-this?” space.
Less aesthetic, more real motherhood
Ellipsis exists because mothers deserve information that is both thoughtful and evidence-based, and commentary that feels not like advice, but like a conversation. Through cultural commentary, trend analysis, research-informed insights, and honest reflection, this space invites mothers to think deeply about the stories we’re told — and the ones we tell ourselves.
This is a community that is analytical and empathetic, grounded and curious. It holds room for humor, humanity, and nuance.

The author behind Ellipsis. I am a Millennial mom, wife and writer. My background in digital media and psychology taught me how narratives are built and how they shape our understanding of ourselves.
When I became a mother, I started noticing how much of motherhood is filtered through trends, celebrities, influencers, and culturally specific expectations that don’t always reflect real, lived experience. Ellipsis grew from the desire to bridge that gap and speak honestly about what motherhood really feels like today.
