Everyone talks about pregnancy and the baby, but what about you?

In Part 2 of New Mom Advice, we’re getting real about postpartum—the part no one fully prepares you for. The physical recovery, the hormone crashes, the identity shift, the anxiety, the “why am I crying again?” moments, and the pressure to feel grateful while you’re barely holding it together.

We’re unpacking the postpartum experience honestly. What’s normal, what’s hard, and what deserves way more attention than it gets. Because postpartum isn’t just a phase you “bounce back” from—it’s something you move through.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, touched out, emotional, or just not like yourself after having a baby, you’re not alone.

✨ In this episode:

• Postpartum recovery

• Hormones, mood swings & mental health

• Postpartum anxiety & emotional overload

• Body changes & unrealistic expectations

• Identity shifts after becoming a mom

• What new moms actually need (but don’t get)

Whether you’re freshly postpartum, in the thick of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode is the honest conversation we all needed.
