Joanna McNeilly Featured in the *Crush It as a New Mom Summit*

for caregivers news and updates Oct 13, 2025

We’re so excited to share that our own Joanna McNeilly, founder of CBWS, is part of the lineup for the Crush It as a New Mom Summit, a free online event made for new moms and families who are figuring it all out as they go. The summit runs October 22–26, 2025, and it’s packed with helpful, honest conversations from professionals who get what this stage of life is really like.

 

You’ll hear from experts in babywearing, postpartum recovery, lactation, physical therapy, and mental health, all sharing their favorite tips and real-life wisdom for those early months when sleep is rare and questions are endless.

Joanna’s session is on October 24 alongside Dr. Christiane Siebert. I’ll talk about how babywearing can bring calm, connection, and confidence into the chaos of new parenthood.

The Crush It as a New Mom Summit was created by Olivia Bergeron (Mommy Groove NYC) and Sneha Gazi (Sneha Physical Therapy) to make postpartum support feel more accessible and more human. You don’t need a sitter, a fancy setup, or even a full night’s sleep to join. Just tune in when you can, wherever you are, and grab a few minutes for tips that are actually for you and your clients.

Sessions go live daily starting October 22, and it all wraps up with a live Q&A on October 26. Once you register, you’ll get access to all the replays so you can watch whenever your schedule allows.

Hosted by Sneha Gazi and Olivia Bergeron with support from a fantastic lineup of postpartum experts.
